Sony Computer Entertainment

PS1
It is the ultimate "middle finger" to Nintendo, the PlayStation was first released in Japan in 1994, and later on in North America the following year. It became successful, due to its use of the CD-R extension.

Fearful Harmony and Personified Fear
Two well known errors would occur with the PlayStation if it were to encounter errors. The first is Fearful Harmony, an error that would occur mainly on modchipped systems when the system is forced to read a damaged, backup, or unreadable disc. Despite its attempts to pass it off as "scratched," it was due to the code injection that it continues to read the disc and thus display the error. The system would startup as normal, followed by a different second half sound. The display is corrupted full of colors and shapes. Several seconds later, a sound known as Fearful Harmony would begin to play.

The second was Personified Fear, mainly if the PlayStation's BIOS was corrupted. What would happen from there is that the system would screech, playing an horrible sound as it was attempting to boot into the PS logo, causing the TV's AV cords not to display anything, sometimes a bar of white or gray would move up on the screen at times, or simply just stop programming or got hardlocked while the system was powered on.

Scare Factor
Fearful Harmony: Medium to Nightmare

Personified Fear: High to Nightmare

Fearful Harmony may be moderately frightening to those unfamiliar with it. But to those that do, it's not very scary, and users may find it actually relaxing and soothing to hear the sounds of Fearful Harmony. Personified Fear is much different. Its screeches will tear someone apart very easily, being extremely scary. Even if you really are familiar with it, it will throw chills down your spine faster than a police officer arresting a suspect, earning it a High to Nightmare. It's not recommended to listen to that on max volume with headphones, especially during nighttime.

PlayStation 2
PlayStation 2 was the second console to be released by Sony in 2000 and was discontinued in 2013.

It competed with Sega's Dreamcast, Nintendo's GameCube, and Microsoft's original Xbox.

There are 2 errors in the console.

Red Screen of Death
One of the 2 errors, it has the scary error called by fans as the Red Screen of Death. It appears if you insert a damaged or an incompatible disc (like inserting a blank disc or disc for another console or PC disc). A red cloud appears with two glass cubes and three other cubes that are hidden in the center of the red screen and strange scary sound with white text saying, "Please insert a PlayStation or PlayStation 2 format disc." Most fans consider this error the most frightening screen of death to ever experience, and it was dubbed so by PlayStation 2 fans. It wasn't named by the original company that developed the PlayStation 2.

Scare Factor
Red Screen of Death: Low to Nightmare

The red screen and tense music can unnerve people, and give some people and children nightmares about this screen. It can scare people the first time seeing this variant sometimes. The red screen is not click bait. The scare factor is Low to Medium for those who are used to it or not scared of it.

PlayStation 3
It is the sucessor to PS2. It was first released in Japan and America on 2006, then Europe and Australia on 2007.

Red Screen of Death
The PS3 had its own somewhat scary error, another '''Red Screen of Death. This screen happened during a firmware update in 2011''' where many Playstation 3 consoles will not start up, but instead show a red screen with no background audio at all. It says in 8 different languages "A serious error has occurred, contact technical support for assistance."

It also happens in PlayStation Portable.

Scare Factor
Its startup is tamer than Fearful Harmony and Personified Fear and the PS2's Red Screen of Death due to the gentle sway of the lines and peaceful music.

RSoD: Low to Medium

It is due to the unexpectiveness of the screen, although it should not frighten many once they know that an error occurred.

PlayStation 4
The fourth game console developed by Sony. It is the 4th best-selling console of all time. It competes with XBOX ONE, Nintendo Wii U and Switch.

"Flashing" Red Screen of Death
The rarest error screen of all of these along with Personified Fear (done on a real SCPH-1001 console), is the PS4 RSoD. It's only been spotted and recorded a few times. This screen happened with first buyers of the PS4 because there was an HDMI error with the console.

Scare Factor
RSoD: Low to High

While it is rare for it to happen, the level can be quite high, due to its eerie display and its harsh level of colors on a TV screen.
