My brother was getting close to buying one...

Did you buy from Amazon or gamestop? Word of mouth is that its both of those locations that the faulty PS4s are coming from. I'm starting to think that the PS4 was made with cheap materials or something. Bang it around enough and something will come loose. In short, be careful with the system.


So it's completely harmless to bang around my other systems constantly? Brb, taking my 60GB PS3 to the grand canyon with me....


Just because a console comes from amazon does not make it a certainty that it will be damaged, the packing of the consoles from what i have seen has varied wildly from a few air bags to a box that would barely close from padding, all from amazon.

I never claimed that other consoles weren't prone to being damaged, I claimed that PS4 may have something like a poorly installed HDMI port which is jossled loose easily or maybe the fan pops out of place or something like that.  It could be a time bomb waiting to happen on the other systems...  Maybe the people who got it from amazon were actually the lucky ones as they discovered the defect early because of how poorly the consoles were treated.
