re: The PlayStation 4 / PS4 Thread: Still Going Strong
My too is a launch release model and thankfully no issues....though I thought flickering was due to it, was the Lamp.
I haven't felt Hot but I get typical spinning sound where disc is loading but it's not loud. I do occasional unplug everything and take a can of Air and blow out the vents trying to get dust out...pretty much how you need to clean inside a PC Tower from time-to-time. I actually need to take mine apart and do a through inspection and do a deep clean especially the fan.

Mine is just a bit post-launch, but with a newer/bigger hard-drive, zero issues. Though I haven't played an actual disc in it in a long time - I've gone all digital for the last year.

Question:
I have a PS4 from roughly 2015-ish. And I'm just curious, do these models from that timeframe tend to generate a lot of heat?
I was playing NBA 2K19 last night and after I finished the top of my console was burning hot. I never really paid too much attention to this before. Also the disc spinning makes a lot of noise.

It does happen with other games as well, but 2k is the one that I noticed it the most.

It's an NBA 2k thing. I don't know what it is about that game, but sometimes (mainly in My Career mode) it will turn the PS4 into a jet engine and it does get pretty hot. I'm not sure why it happens because it seems to happen even just in menus sometimes which you wouldn't think would be something that would not be stressing the machine, but it certainly is.

My PS4 is about a year after launch, whenever they replaced the glossy part with all matte, but I recall the fan getting pretty loud with God of War. I don't think it ever got too hot though.

Was browsing Amazon today, and saw Spider Man for $39.99 for either disc or digital. Waffling about it, as I’m not sure if I need a new game right now.

Does the 14 day Playstation Plus trial with a new PS4 not include the free games?
Edit: Frustrating waste of time while setting up the new system as evidently the PS4 is listing November’s free games instead of the current ones.

I'm not sure if there's a more in depth interview with that guy, but it seems more like guesswork and not insider information or anything.

I know and i'm not buying two again. I bought an X and a Pro after already having a XB1 and PS4. JMO, of course, but i'm not impressed with the upgrades. I could have been happy with my Original systems.

But according to the article they would be doing that at the start so you wouldn't need to buy 2.

Yeah, I don't understand the complaints about having two models. Personally, I love my One X. The performance/visual upgrades have been very noticeable. On the other hand, chose not to upgrade my PS4 and i've been fine with it. Choices are great.

^That looks really cool. Glad to see there's a PC version, too. Very tempting.

Out of 287 hours of gameplay, I played a grand total of 0 hours online... and yet I still pay for PSN.
Of course I downloaded 58 free games via Plus, so there's that.

47 games, 304 hours, 373 trophies. I have a feeling the total number of games played is a little off though.
Top 3 played games were Wildlands, Spider-Man, and God of War.

8 games. One of them was my wife playing through Lego Harry Potter. I haven't spent a tremendous amount of time with my PS4 since the Xbox One X became my go-to console for third party titles, but I definitely put my time in on God of War and Spider-Man.
