    So fucking pissed right now. My PS4 Pro's HDD died. Like, actually died. I've tried it in several different devices and I can't even detect it through a BIOS.

    So now what do I do? I don't know if hard drives are covered by warranty (even though they should considering I bought this system last November). And even if they're covered, how long would I have to wait? Days? Weeks? MONTHS?! You always have to send in the entire system as a policy. And do they even cover shipping?

    ARGHHH! I don't know what to do. I could just order a new HDD right now and be back up and running tomorrow, but I really think it should be Sony's job to cover the costs.

    Not to mention I just lost all my saves as I haven't had a PS+ subscription these past few months. There goes half my playthrough of FF7 which I finally restarted after all those years. At least it should only take like 2hrs to get back there with all the cheats turned on.

      Editing … Well, I just went ahead and installed one of my girlfriend's old laptop terrabyte drives. I thought it might be too shitty to be of any use, but I see that the default drive is only 3 gigabit as well, and this one's only a couple years old with little use. Perhaps if I have some PS4 downtime in the coming months (gonna be difficult...) I'll try a warranty claim. But I'm gonna have to do some research on the subject first, as I really don't really like the idea of getting someone else's "refurbished" unit sent back. Even if this thing does run very hot and might've been the cause for the drive failure...

      Editing … TIL: the PS4 Pro apparently does not run cooler than the launch PS4 that I have

      Editing … 2:30 hours into FF7 and just got to Junon with Yuffie in tow. Should've been faster, but eh, I can't help but having to talk to everyone so I don't miss any items. Finishing a quarter of the game in just 2.5 hours is still pretty good, though. Unfortunately I did lose a few hundred hours worth of RPG completion/new game+ saves, and I lost my Dragon Quest Heroes save that was 3 missions removed from the end. So that'll forever be a black mark on my backlog, as I'm not gonna go back to play this bait-and-switch tower defense game. Ah well, back up your saves, kids.
