If you bought it from Amazon I'd be a little worried. Any where else you should be fine.

I bought three my friend, my brother, and myself have not had any hardware issues.

The only things we have seen so far are;

PSN is very unstable right now - The whats new section and the network overview, recent, and related sections are not showing up under games at the moment. Every now and then the system kicks you to the primary position on the UI saying SCE is undergoing maintenance.

Warframe has a lock up issue - My friend noticed this first, his system locked up completely upon trying to launch the game. Required holding down the power button for about 10secs to turn off.

Battlefield 4 - Had one instance during online play where it completely kicked me out of the app and brought up a error page to forward to Sony .

Other than that we are all loving PS4.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

Mine is working with no issues.

I can even log in to my Japanese account to use my Vita for remote play!

Been using mine since last night and it works.

I have ran into a few weird issues though.

  • Sometimes when in PSN store or the top level of the XMB it will boot me back to the the section right next to "What's New"
  • When going into "Library" it shows no pictures. Sometimes also bumps me out. Right now whenever I clicked on one of the games it bumps me out.
  • Vita constantly loses connection with PS4. Don't know what is at fault here.
I wonder if my issues have to do with the software. It seems that way.


iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

Since Amazon seems the way to go to determine the incredibly high failure rate of the Ps4, why don't we see for ourselves how badly manufactured this console actually is.

Did you buy a PS4 and if so, does it work like a charm... or not?


you should keep updating this thread by adding the names of the people who bought the ps4 and its status to the OP. so we can see how many people have it in relation to how many broke.

 

I got my PS4 from the MCX and it works.

 

my count is 18 ps4's in this thread, with 1 being broken. (that is if Rolstoppable actually has ps4's, which seems hard to believe)

so 5.5% failure rate in this thread

edit: +4 consoles so 22, that makes 4.5% failure rate.
