And now you know better than to buy systems at launch.

So cruel, but so, so true!  

And you're welcome! I 'm beta-testing it, too.  So far very positive.

Ben, how many hours would you guestimate you were able to get in with the PS4 before the first failure? I'm still pretty worried this is eventually going to happen to me, I'm absolutely in love with the thing so far and can't stop playing it.

And to everyone talking about buying the extended warranty, remember that you have an automatic 1 year warranty by default, so I wouldn't bother buying the extended warranty until November 15, 2014 at the earliest.

The industry would be dead without us, you would have next to nothing but iphone games and FTP MMOs to play.

Look at how bad things are for the Wii U right now, imagine how much worse things would be if absolutely NO ONE bought in the first year. That amazing Wii U launch has so far been the system's lifeline.


Hmm i probably got about 10 total hours of play time out of it 



One of the main reasons I never buy consoles at launch, it's just not worth it. Few and mediocre games, expensive hardware and software, lack of full features and faulty hardware.



Glade I'm waiting a year, will be cheaper and more reliable!

If you have guesstimate, do you think is 1%? 2%? higher?

vgchartz member's fail rate is like 3.5%

3.5% with a very small sample (way too small to build accurate statistics actually)... But I still believe 3.5% with a small sample of people is kind of worrying...
Anyway, 0.4% is pure bullshit...

At the end, it sucks for those like BenVTrigger who ordered a new toy and receive a DOA unit :( 

OT: I just ordered my new EV3 Mindstorms Kit from Lego! woot.

Agree, to small and too early for that sample size to mean much.  I'm pretty concerned about the ps4 failure rate, if it is higher than 4% within the first week, then what will it be in a year.  It's a little bit scary.  I plan on buying and extended warranty like BenV suggested.



Sorry man, wish you the best of luck, nobody deserves to be in this type of situation after getting it.



Heres the system powered on with the no signal on the tv do to it being bricked

No joke was just playing KZ Shadow Fall and got the Blue Pulse of death. Was mid cutscene and my ps4 started going haywire with the visuals cutting in and out finally ending in a black screen.

 

The console is now unresponsive and only flashes a pulsing blue light. 

 

If you buy a PS4 get warranty no joke.

 

Edit - Ok so I unplugged my HDMI and power cord and let it sit for like 20 minutes. It's now completely booted back into KZ. omg I hope this thing runs

Edit 2 - Just crashed again in another cut scene. Looks like it may be dead after all

Final Update - Its 100% dead guys. Trying to track down a replacement now. Wish me luck
