[quote]Sony tells [I]Kotaku[/I] they've "made progress" toward solving a PS4 glitch that has prevented some users from buying or playing games on their new PlayStation consoles.The "CE-33945-4"glitch, which was reported by PS4 owners on [URL="http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=859702"]NeoGAF[/URL] and the [URL="http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-4-Support/CE-33945-4-Error-CAN-T-RESTORE-LICENSES/td-p/44060652"]PlayStation forums[/URL], prevents users from playing games or accessing any other services on the PlayStation Network, including Netflix. Though the exact causes of the glitch are murky, some users determined that it may be triggered by pre-ordering a digital game on the PlayStation Network and then canceling it through Sony customer support, which leads to some sort of database error. This one's brutal: people getting CE-33945-4 say they can't play [I]anything[/I]. I reached out to Sony earlier this week to ask about the error. Here's a Sony rep: [I]"We are aware of this account issue that has affected a very small number of users. We are currently investigating the cause of the issue and have made progress toward a possible solution." In the meantime, if you do run into this glitch, try [URL="https://support.us.playstation.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5044/~/ps4%3A-safe-mode"]rebuilding the database[/URL] on your PS4, which some users say fixes the problem.[/I][/quote] [URL]http://kotaku.com/sony-says-theyre-looking-into-crippling-ps4-glitch-1625604933[/URL] I've reached out to Kotaku to comment on whether or not Sony is sleeping with them, but have not yet gotten a response. [B]BREAKING![/B] Sony has renamed the glitch from "CE-33945-4" to the updated "GR8CNE339- AW4IT5-4". Affected platforms are not even able to watch "TV! TV! TV!"

I got a 404.

I'm not exactly seeing where you're getting the title from... In fact, I'm pretty sure that's just a blatant lie, and I'm sure you understand the way headlines in this section work; I'd wager we'll start seeing the people that don't read past them here soon, and you'll have misled quite a few people. Sensationalism's one thing, but open-faced slander? That bothers me on fundamental levels I didn't know I had. I've got no great love for Sony, but I have a respect for proper journalism... And this isn't that. This is just embarrassing on your end, and I would have expected better from you. It's interesting how people change.

It's still a stupid/completely wrong title.
[QUOTE=Makol;45774519]It's still a stupid/completely wrong title.[/QUOTE] The thread will fall off the front page within a few hours. I don't think anyone actually thinks that a glitch on PS4 system is supposed to advertise PSN+.

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;45774542]agoat got the kotaku bug[/QUOTE] I actually think it's what wrestling was supposed to be. It's not real, but it's real entertaining... [I]"Sony's 'always offline' policy was controversial, but Kotaku liked it so much they decided to keep it."[/I]
Well, I'm actually a journalist... So I guess it'd irk me a bit more than it would most people. Most people won't give it a second thought. I have something of a love for the art.

[QUOTE=Swilly;45774550]Its still a retardly wrong title, stop trying to excuse it.[/QUOTE] In contrast, this guy is very serious and very cross. Not at all the feel I was going for.
Replace Sony with Microsoft and the thread be like "Lololol xboned again microshit sucks heuheu"
