But what would I watch Netflix on? My phone?

A $20 Roku player works better than the PS4.
No joke.

I had a few Rokus and they ended up collecting dust and being sold because they always had streaming problems

The only issue like this that I have is that at some point something corrupted my external hdd so every now and then when I take my PS4 out of rest mode it doesnt let me access any of my games because it thinks the external isnt connected. So then I have to restart my PS4 (sometimes multiple times) to get it to show an indicator in the corner that its reading the external or sometimes when it resets it goes straight into the your external is corrupted, click here to repair screen. It repairs in a few secs and then everything works fine.

Idk whats wrong with it but Ive tried changing the cables and it still happens so I guess theres something wrong with my external. Im too lazy to buy a new one and I dont care enough anyway since PS5 is around the corner.

Damn, that sounds annoying

That's odd. I sorta assumed it was mass-updating your games.

Thats why I thought at first, but you cant update games you dont have installed, and I opened it up and it was my entire library just waiting for installation

all I did last night was resume an update for Warframe, I didnt install anything new

It is very. It probably happens like 2/5 attempts at playing. Its doesnt take long to get to playing, but still annoying either way.
