Topic: Judas the PS4 has finally gotten his just desserts!

[Shiroi Koumori]

I own a PS4 and always turn it off after I'm done using it. This saves me a lot of headaches. And saves wear & tear on the system itself. I've had it for several years and it's still fine for me.

I'm doing the same, turn it off, pull the plug and keep it back in its box after using (can't allow the elements to ruin that shiny engraved surface). But my PS4 slim is still just a month old baby.

That's dedication... For everything else, there's Mastercard

It did, didn't it???

From what Bloody Aperture is saying, his PS4 just kept doing things behind the scenes even after it was switched off.

Is Bloody Aperture actually killing the power or is he just putting the system on standby? I kill the power on mine therefore no mystery updates cause no power.

Again I say: I have owned the thing since six months after launch. I know the difference between standby and off.

As long as it was plugged in, the damn thing could turn itself on no matter how "off" I knew it to be. So I ended up just yanking the power cord completely when it wasn't in use for no surprises.

This is how I initially interpreted it. When someone says off I just assume that's what they mean
It sucks to having to keep yanking the cable out. At that point I'd just shut my mains off completely when I leave my place.

Well, that is why it sat without any connection to an outlet under a sheet collecting dust as soon as I finished Uncharted 4.

Mine's never done that so it must be a pre-set option that has not been dealt with. I know with my PS3 it'll turn itself on sometime in the middle of the night so I just turn the back power switch off. But I've not seen this behaviour with a PS4. I don't doubt you so there must be more to it.

[Lumi Kløvstad]

My money is on a bad circuit or crossed wire connecting to the power button.

Or it could be one of those updates that SONY did. I know that after a certain update on my PS3 it would activate in the dead of night for a few minutes then shut off. And it had never done that prior to the update.
