Its the blue pulse. Theres no known fix for it. The PS4 is amazing guys but early adopters Im warning you make sure you get an extended warranty |
What would lead to believe that these issues wouldn't show up now but after 1 year? It sounds like if you have a faulty machine, you find out real quick.

Well...
One year is enough time to sort out any potential kinks a console might have coming off the factory line, but poor thermal transfer between the SoC and heatsink/fan due to a bad thermal compound application or poor compound quality could result in a greatly shortened lifespan. The hotter the SoC runs for the greater amount of time, the sooner the failure.
My original CECH-A01 PS3 died just under two years, probably because it had a good 5000-6000 hours of runtime on it, a good portion of which were at near 100% CPU (Folding@Home). So the one year warranty didn't cover it. I've had other heavy use PS3s die at around the 2 year mark as well.
I generally don't pay for extended warranties on something I'm fairly certain I'll be buying more than one of in the future, but I am seriously considering going with the 3 year on the PS4 and will have until about mid-December (30 day window for new purchases) to make my decision.
No joke, I threw my cousins PS4 and it hasn't crashed since. Not saying go around throwing your PS4s kids but it worked for me:D Just goes to show you the power of throwing!
