This story is blarney. No way Gamestop had units available to sell and still had ANOTHER one to replace the broken one. Nice try though.


I agree with this and was thinking the same thing because i just don't believe someone could just walk into Gamestop (of all places) and pick up a non preordered PS4 then go back and pick up another replacement PS4.

You know, many sites are actually reporting that these events are really sparse and rare, Vgchartz is making it seem like every PS4 is broken...



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Well, the story doesn't say that he got the initial console from GS so there's that.



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.

40% failure rate confirmed by social media. Don't believe me look at Amazon's review rating.



I will get an xbone some day



VITA 32 GIG CARD.250 GIG SLIM & 160 GIG PHAT PS3

Around the Network

My Gamestop has them as does Walmart and a few other locations... I was almost almost swayed into picking one up but with the failure rates so high. I will wait til the issues are fixed. Well that and there arent any good titles atm to play. Maybe Feb or March.

Sad to see some people go out of their way to defend Sony. I guess you dont really know them or the things they have done. A company like any other but they have done some really bad things in their time.
PS2 had a very high failure rate. So high Sony was sued over it and lost. They also charged consumers to fix something they openly knew was an issue.
They tried putting spyware on a lot of peoples PCs a few years back
They kept quiet about the PSN hack when people should have been notified sooner.
Sony is not your friend. They are not here to be your buddy. They do not do things just for your enjoyment. They are a company like any other and they have made mistakes just like any other company.

I'm guessing you haven't seen IGN. People are saying there are 400,000 bricked ps4's as if it were fact.

Calm down buddy. Sony/The world isn't out to get you. You'll enjoy yourself a lot more when you get that PS4. So just hold on till that time eh? ;)

I think that would be you kid. Considering there are no anger indicators in any of what I typed, the fact you came to that conclusion shows it was all in your head, not mine.

Speaking the truth is not a sign of anger. 

Do you actually think someone is angry if they say the Sky is blue?

Text does not convey tone. You put your own tone to my text.

Question should be.

What about my post made you so angry? What about the truth made you want to lash out?

The internet is filled with different opinions. You cannot lash out at everyone you do not agree with.

Are you sure you need to be online or that you can handle opinions that are not your own cause from my point of view, you are coming off as angry and immature.

Settle down and take a deep breath.

So, 400k broken PS4s, never on history of mankind a product was so bad and unreliable.
