With any new console launch, there’s bound to be some console deaths. Unfortunately for YouTube game reviewer ACG, the first bricked PlayStation 5 console belongs to him.
In a new video by the YouTube, ACG reviewer Jeremy Penter explained that the issues with his PS5 started with similar problems that other pre-release PlayStation 5 owners have experienced. However, Penter’s issues expanded beyond those initial problems.
Penter explained that the PlayStation 5 had issues with external storage for PS4 games when booting up from rest mode that would state that the storage is corrupted. The reviewer stated that “this continued to happen a great deal of times” and didn’t relate to previously reported issues with routers.
Unfortunately for the reviewer, these issues continued until the reviewer was left with the first bricked PlayStation 5 console. Watch the video below:
At the time of writing, this is the only bricked PlayStation 5. While no consoles have been sent to normal customers yet, this is the first pre- release review unit reported as dead.
