Within minutes of PS4 System Software / Firmware 5.00 being released widespread reports of PS4 Error Code E-801809A8 surfaced during 5.0 OFW upgrades despite going through at least six NOBUNAGA Beta Revisions resulting in PlayStation 4 consoles being bricked.
Many of them had a detached or broken / malfunctional Blu-ray BD-ROM drive but not all, and today Sony Online Support finally responded after affected customers petitioned with the following statement, to quote: "HI folks, Thanks all for reporting this, Just to confirm we are aware of the issue and are investigating."
Here's to hoping Sony sorts out a solution to this issue in a timely manner and doesn't end up charging victims of their negligence to ship the consoles back for repairs.
Thanks to @Abkarino for passing along the heads-up on Twitter that Sony has acknowledged and is finally investigating this serious matter!
