You are doing it wrong

How so? I did mention that IF the reviews are true... They could be fake but if the reviews are true, it was 40% failure rate based on the amazon's reviews... I mentioned all that or are you too blind to see?


What you can say is that 40% of those who decided to write an Amazon review had a failure, but you can't just assume that those with bricked consoles are just as likely to write up a review on amazon as ones that don't.  Even if we assume every single 1 star review is totally accurate that would not mean a 40% failure rate by any stretch of the imagination.  

But I mentioned all that on my original comment... It was clearly referring to the amazon's review thing... 40% of the reviewers said it was bricked this morning but the reviews went up for both good and bad so it is now 34% because the amount of people that has a ps4 working finally decided to post their reviews...

Please remove your anime content. I am embarassed for sharing a similar taste in medium.

I've been playing my ps4 for only a few hours honestly.. The only thing I experienced was the console shut off randomly while playing killzone.. It was completely off like no power, but I turned it back on like normal.

You see, ps4's are made with the souls of dead foxconn workers. Every once in a while, they will play parlour tricks to get you to interact with them. Don't fall for it. Just leave it off like you intended to do so, and go about your business.

Works perfectly fine outside of getting popped out of games sometimes RIGHT after I enter one.

Still pretty paranoid it's going to randomly brick itself with more play, though.

"incredibly high fail rate"

3-6% failure

does not compute

Why? Don't be hating, I love anime more than you would think... specially the one that I have as my Avatar

They sold WAY more than 1290. You mean out of 1290 REVIEWED.

Why don't people who received one don't make a thread about it? Pics, experiences, TV setups, all the stuff...

Me, my brother, and my dad all bought PS4 from Amazon.  Mine and my dad's are working perfectly fine so far, even after the 1.5 update.  My brother said when he updated his system and it shut off in the middle / after the update and didn't come back on.  But he held the power button down for 10 seconds, put it in safe mode, reset factory settings, downloaded the patch again and we have been playing Killzone together for the past 2 days.  So 3 working here.

I know of two reviewers in my country (one is a friend and colleague) that got one and they are working fine. The other one, made an unboxing video and presentation of the console (crash-testing it as well).

For what it's worth, I've never posted a review on Amazon (or even eBay) and I've bought more than a 100 things from them. Mostly books, but also car parts and some other stuff.



This, I stole from grandpa...It's called soap.
