Sony had to respond to the dangerous messages, and they have done so.

Ask PlayStation’s UK Twitter account has posted the following tweet: „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.” Although VG247 says Sony was planning to fix the issue via a firmware update, they might have done so without it. (Still, better be safe than sorry and install that firmware when it shows up…)

Jeuxvideo-Live reports that the PlayStation Now service, which not only allows you to stream PlayStation games on your PC but also allows you to download select games on your PlayStation 4 (this method is how Sony tries to compete with the Xbox Game Pass), is getting a deal in Europe. Instead of the 15-euro monthly price, you can subscribe for just ten euros until October 24, 1 PM Central European Time. The service is available in most of Western Europe.

One issue fixed here, another offer provided there…

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
