Console Repairmen Explain Why Cockroaches Love PS4s - First, there were snakes on a plane. Then, we had sharks in tornadoes. I heard about the PS4’s roach problem at an independent console repair shop on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. XCubicle is a clean and well-kept business where locals drop off their broken consoles to get diagnosed and repaired. Now, there is a darker and more prevalent combination of pests and unlikely places they exist: cockroaches in your PS4. “You see those bags?” he asked. “Those are bags full of roaches. Those are all dead by now.” Che added that roach-infested PS4s are so common that XCubicle now charges a $25 “roach fee.” They get at least one each week. Other console repairmen interviewed say that at least half of the PS4s they receive are loaded with roaches.
The PS4’s design accommodates roaches better than other consoles’ because its ventilation grates are wider. Those vents are located at the bottom of the console, so roaches can get in with ease. Also, according to repair professionals, the PS4’s insides gets hotter than the Xbox One’s because of its internal power supply.

If that was the case, then Sony would prefer not to handle your console according to this note posted by journalist Brendan Sinclair. You can keep that PS4, thanks.
