Sony has released a firmware update for the PlayStation 4 that is required for many features on the console. However, this update also results in stability issues while playing games on the system.

This affects all games on the PS4, including EA titles, causing crashing/freezing and non-responsive connections between the player's console and their TV Screen.

Unfortunately since it's an issue with Sony's firmware, it requires a new update to fix it. Sony is working to resolve the issue as quickly as they can. They will update their System Update page as new versions are made available, and we will keep this page updated as we find out more.

"The message on EA's Help site was posted in error," an EA representative said in an e-mail to Kotaku. "Players with questions about PS4 connectivity can visit https://support.us.playstation.com/app/answers/de... for the latest updates."

Yikes! Over half of the reviews on Amazon are have 1 star complaining of a broken system.

I'm not sure how this happened. The PS2 had terrible issues, the 360 did also. I would think both companies would have learned and put the machine through their paces, unless AMD or a supplier was late in getting things ready. I hope they get this straightened out quickly or its just a faulty batch. Sony doesn't need this. We need both companies to put their best foot forward to keep competition strong.

Nah, many of people have years of reviews and are also verified buyers. There are plenty of people on BestBuy's site that are trolls saying things like "Sony sucks Xbox is better", but the Amazon reviews are the real thing. As are the people complaining on the Playstation forum.

This is messing up my plans. I was going to scalp a few systems before Christmas. This is probably going to kill the value on Fleabay.

@lhughey: I wouldn't take most of those 1-star reviews seriously. A lot of those reviews are copy and paste jobs.

Apparently this is the update that takes out DRM… It did more harm than good, might as well include the DRM. Sneaky Sony, Sneaky SHU, they pulled one (no pun intended) on all you.

Microsoft are scum bags, but at least they address they problems and pay for them. Sony on the other hand sneak this stuff under you people.
