Is this real or some kind of hoax. Google doesn't find any info from Sony over this while it was reported 20 hours ago already. All the repeat articles link back to that original reddit post. I smell a hoax.

No official word from Sony yet, but people are speculating it to be the same as the one that crashes your iPhone through text.

For something with nasty consequences like this, spread it as far as you can. Console warriors only have words to throw around, nothing compared to a bricked console.

Hopefully those words won't include a certain emoji sent in mass on the PSN. 

Wow, I didn't think of that. Maybe I'm too optimistic, but I don't think anyone on here is that diehard that they'd do that to people. If they're that diehard for a particular console, why would they even own a PS4? And I mean god damn, if you know it'll brick a console, why would you do that to someone? That's fucking cruel. Of course, I say that as someone that remembers visiting 4chan years ago and seeing people tell little kids to delete system 32 on their computers.

This might be retaliation for The Emoji Movie.

Nothing happened to me other than the witcher 3 having texture glitches :(

And just when you thought Sony knows how databases work.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

We've since fixed the issue, and it wasn't bricking consoles, just sending them into a crash loop that can be quickly fixed in under 5 minutes. Delete the message on the PS mobile app, go into Safe Mode, use Option 5, console back to normal. ^DB



God bless You.

My Total Sales prediction for PS4 by the end of 2021: 110m+

When PS4 will hit 100m consoles sold: Before Christmas 2019

There were three ravens sat on a tree / They were as blacke as they might be / The one of them said to his mate, Where shall we our breakfast take?

Yeah, saw the article made here, I figured since nobody made a comment in the article they already know or just didn't care.

I'll just edit the title and update the op.
