TheErebus. Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 So as if Polygon wasn't bad enough already, I saw this recently: http://www.polygon.com/2016/5/16/11683922/playstation-4-sony-power-button-eject Yes. A games journalist, who's job is to review games, consoles and know everything that they can about their field, did not know what the buttons were for on the front of the console for 3 years. Yet here I am, a 19 year old who's just only finishing high school and I've known that the top button is to turn it on and the lower button is to eject the disc. I'VE KNOWN THIS SINCE DAY 1 OF ME USING THE CONSOLE. Now granted, the symbols for eject and power on/off is tiny but unless you have the memory of a goldfish, it's not very hard to remember up is on and down is eject.

Artekkor Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Well he did say that he's a PC user mostly. Maybe he never saw PS4? In my entire life i only seen PS1 and PS2. Then again all power buttons have this "power button" sign, so i don't understand how someone can fail to recognise it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artekkor Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Also fun fact: my PC has no CD-ROM. Like... At all. It's just not there. A hole. So i can behind how he never used "eject" button and so compltely forgot about its existence and / or purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was shown how to use a PS4 and even used it extensively during his first ever experience with it as a member of the press. He also states that outside of PC gaming, the PS4 is his most used console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artekkor Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Also i just realized those PS4 buttons confuse me as well... In my mind "eject" button would make more sense up, not down. Just like it's often the case with PC buttons. Power is near the floor, eject is basically at the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bias countered by bias = going nowhere but creating more drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
