I was trying to emphasize that its not recommended to be using circular motions. But what you use to clean is just as important. Sorry if it was confusing
I had a classic for approximately 4 years since launch and bought the pro after it, my classic is still going strong only problem I encountered was the eject touch screen it kept spitting discs at me until I taped the current using electrical tape.
Dutch Van Der Linde that spitting out discs problem is caused when you force disk in or out, So when you wanna put a disc in, gently bring it up to the drive and when it takes it in let go of the disc. When you are taking a game out eject it wait until its fully ejected (it won’t fall out), Then grab it and put it in the case or wherever.

*I'm keeping my consoles PS3 and PS4 as I kept my previous old PS1 PS2, so therefore I'm NOT entirely wiping out and deleting my PS3 and PS4, plus I'm NOT going to buy PS5 just yet, I'm going to play the waiting game and wait till PS5 goes slim and wait for either 1 or 2tb and wait for price drop.*

The importance of cleaning the discs from the centre to the outside is because scratches from the centre to the outside (radial scratches) don’t stop the disc from being read. Circular scratches on the other hand can prevent the disc from being read. I’ve done this experiment myself with an old CD and it’s actually amazing how many deep radial scratches you can put on a disc and it still be readable. On the other hand one circular scratch at the same radius as the track on the disc can easily make the disc unreadable at that point. By cleaning the disc from centre to outside means if you do end up lightly scratching the disc when cleaning it won’t critically damage the disc.
U saved soo much of my time thx so much. So I was trying to get some data from another PS4 to my PS4 but didn’t know it will delete all my old data and everything on it cause I did something wrong and I saw the save to online storage and I said I won’t make the same mistake and went to save my data but when I went their I found all my old data got saved automatically and I was so happy cause I don’t need to restart fro, scratch some games.
I never sell my old used phones either. I just keep them in a drawer. To much sensitive info on them to let some hacker break into it even if I do a hard reset. Sorry but your information never truly disappears.
Speaking on disc robustness .... I was friends with the manager of a large video rental outlet back in the day when they were plentiful. DVDs in the rental world take a real beating and scratches are very common. Most DVDs won't play properly with a significant scratch on the surface. Every night before closing, my manager friend would take a small stack of scratched discs and run each one of them across a circular power buffing wheel used to wax and polish cars. He said it worked beautifully and the DVDs played like they were new again. He had done this for years and never damaged a single disc :-)
About initialization from someone who works for a GameStop competitor that actually specializes in trade-ins: We do this for you at the end of each trade no matter what. We assure customers that their system data is formatted in case they are wary. But for the sake of efficiency, we recommend that those trading in not to initialize before bringing it in because we test the console and don’t want to have to take an extra 30 minutes to hook up to our internet just to set it up again and download a game to test. Some think they are doing us a favor by initializing early but this is not the case because our trading protocol has us test each and every system no matter how pristine it looks. GameStop does the same thing, so this is only applies if you take your system to a place to be sold. But if you are concerned, take it up with the buyer if you aren’t selling privately.
Little tip, GameStop won't take a PS4 wiped, if you're going to wipe it start it back up and set it up fresh, otherwise they have to assume you stole it
Only issue with #5 is that if you want to play with other people online you need PS+. It also does not help that for some reason Sony decided to make saving your data onto an Apple product akin to pulling teeth.
Microfiber cloth may be safest way to clean a disc but who has time for that. I just pull my t-shirt out the one I'm wearing at the time and give it one gentle pass over it. Never failed me yet. Surely I'm not alone on this one!?
I use PS plus cloud storage since I have two ps4 consoles in two different rooms in my home. Makes it easy to pick up where I left off in another room.
Im expecting captain obvious things on the list like "dont set your ps4 on fire to prevent overheating" But im actually impressed with the list and it's very informative. Thanks!
In the next video: Never play your console with it upside down Never wrap it in a pillow case and put it next to a radiator Never clean your PlayStation with your shower Never smear a disc in peanut butter to give it a snack
Back at ps3 my country did not have the ps plus service yet so I ended up creating an american one to activate plus to enjoy the monthly games as they were quite valuable at the time. But that meant i couldnt actually save my game data on the cloud from main account. Then ofc the only issue my ps3 ever had was a corrupted hdd, couldnt fix it at all inside the ps3 system so i had to replace it. Lost every freaking save i ever had, sad times. Didnt feel like playing for months. So careful if you guys run plus outside of your main as the cloud service can save you from some future headache. Maybe the hdd data could be savagable if i sent to some tech assistance, but after replacing i felt it was not worth it anymore, life goes on...
Game discs have a hard coat layer on them....they rarely scratch from the occasional wipe...even with a t-shirt. Back when dvd and cd discs were used it was common to have scratched discs even when you protected them with your life... But now all of my games are like new and even most used ones from 2nd hand stores are like new. They aren't as fragile these days.
@@JohnGlasscock hey I was wondering, do you know what's the difference between an external harddrive that you attach to the ps4 and the USB external harddrive that you just plug into the ps4?. Like am I able to get one or the other and it still have the same functions or is one purposely for something while the other is for something else? I just want more space but I really dont want to get that huge bulky box to be on top of my ps4 at all times you know?
Outro made me crack up and I love all the tips from you considering I was a bit late with ps4 only getting one about 3 months ago and it was the best decision I ever made 👌👌
I use to trade in previous consoles for the new one but always regretted it later. Over the last few years I've repurchased PS1, PS2 and PS3. So my PS4 is here to stay when I purchase the PS5. Random comment but I thought of it when you mentioned it.
I usually don't have an active PS+ account, so I have a couple of USB sticks/thumb-drives to backup save data. Generally it's good to use the rule of 3 for backups; original + backup 1 + backup 2. So even if you utilise PS+ cloud saves, it wouldn't be a bad idea to also backup to a USB stick too.
I saw in facebook that his ps4 got into trouble and lost all his save files. It was my first to hear that you can transfer saved files to usb sticks or external hard drives

I wonder if you have any tips for how to place the console as well as keeping it clean from dust (thought keeping it in a cabinet would be good enough but, I guess seeing this showed me that is a bad idea).
thanks for the tip on how to clean, i have one of those towels actually but i have used my shirt or whatever i can find in the past. now let's see if i can actually remember what you said lol
Never understood the people who just leave their discs sitting around on coffee tables or on the TV stand to get scratched or smudged. It doesn't take any energy to put the disc back in the case.
How about this, because I bought a used PS4: Do not force a disc into the disc slot, because it is accepted automatically. Although I believe it goes for all gaming consoles with a disc slot...
I think you are a bit late to say "do not clean the discs with a t-shirt" [:
