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.

I don't think it matters were it came from, they are just distributers. the sorce is the same for all the consoles.

It could matter. Companies often ship product as it comes into them to their distributers. The shipment that Sony sent to Amazon could have come from a different factory or batch than was sent out to other distributers. So if there was something that happened durring the creation of that batch, it may only affect that batch.

At least thats how it works for my company. Sometimes we will get a bad batch of products in, that only affect that batch and we have to recall them from a vendor. The problem for us usually happens either at the maufacturer in China if something got into the process that shouldn't have. Or if somthing happened to our crate while being shipped from China to the US.
