A photo has surfaced showing a demo PS4 console overheating and displaying what has been dubbed “the red line of death.” The picture was taken at a PS4 event in Spain and posted by Elotrolado member Homer J. Simpson in his report of the event. Here are his complete updated comments (translated from Spanish)…

“In terms of sound, practically none, you can hear the fan if you listened closely but nothing exaggerated. they had ventilated consoles and others put in enclosures completely closed that were running from 9am without stopping (we got there at 18:00 in the evening). they were running fine and were quite warm on the surface but nothing like our curreng generation consoles.

The only exception to that was one console that was completely enclosed in an acrylic case , it was showing a red light (where there would typically be a blue light) and there was a message on the screen that said the console’s temperature was too high. the Acrylic case was opened and within minutes the error message went away and the light went back to its normal color.

These consoles were test units, they seemed fully capable in every way.”

You could say it was suffocating lol.

Could of just punch holes in the plastic box with a cooling fan...

Interesting the PS4 has a message saying it's getting too hot, wonder what the temp was I know the running temperature is stupidly low.



Makes it easier to break the Acrylic case and steal the console.

^^ /Thread id say

ive always had the usb fan underneath my ps3, got 3 fans and was like £2 on ebay, never had any problems with heating etc

Its in a plastic box lol, thats why it over heated and if it was on for 3+ hours then of course it will overheat.

Its normal in that conditions for me, nothing to be worry about

Lol thats what I was referring to. Sorry if I wasnt too clear about that. I shoulda said something along the lines of "give it room for proper ventilation."

Going to close this now due to being fake
