Are you pre-ordering PS5 on August 6th ? (Rumored SoP date)

No. Launch units have a lot of issues and best to wait a year or two for them to work out the kinks and more games come out.

This is something that I've heard before but I've never seen any data. I've got no idea how many truly end up with a faulty device. It'd be nice to hear some past experiences about that in a community like VGC.

I know the Xbox 360 had issues (even two years later!) and I've heard about issues with the PSP and dead pixels but I've been gaming since the 80s. I've gotten several systems on launch day and even more in the first year. Never had an issue aside from the 360 and that was after I had it for a year.

I did see a launch PS2 that was broken right out of the box but it wasn't mine.
