I was waiting for this thread.

A lot of PS4 owners on VGC, has anyone said they've got a dead unit yet?

My own PS4 works fine, one of my writers had an issue with his but he was able to fix it. Something with the HDMI port I believe.

HDMI problems seem to be quite widespread.

Any idea what the exact problem was?

Like I said... It was 40% this morning:

http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2013/11/16/social-media-making-it-hard-to-gauge-scope-of-ps4s-technical-difficulties/

"Amazon, for example, has about 600 reviews of the PlayStation 4 launch edition up right now. The console is sitting at about 3 out of 5 stars, not due to middling scores, but because of 320 five star reviews and 260 one star reviews. Nearly all of the one star reviews are complaining about faulty hardware. Does that mean that the PS4 has a 40% failure rate? Of course not. "

You are doing it wrong
