Update 3: A Sony representative has provided the following statement to IGN:

"A handful of people have reported issues with their PlayStation 4 systems. This is within our expectations for a new product introduction, and the vast majority of PS4 feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. We are closely monitoring for additional reports, but we think these are isolated incidents and are on track for a great launch.

There have been several problems reported, which leads us to believe there isn’t a singular problem that could impact a broader percentage of systems. The number of affected systems represents less than .4% of shipped units to date, which is within our expectations for a new product introduction."


The Kotaku hate doesn't really make any sense to me. The only thing that sucks is the buggy way to post messages.
There'll be free games you can download when you get the system, so free games can ease the lack of the lack of -must- have titles yet to come out. I already have Killzone right next to me... I'll probably be getting the system in the morning or day after... finally got shipping confirmation.... the NIGHT before. We'll see how that goes.

Apparently PS4s are delicate flowers and UPS shipping is bricking them from amazon. (Or you could be like DumTaku and say it's sabotage from the student workers)

Some of the packaging is pretty abysmal. Sony Store sent it in a box the exact size of the PS4 box (no packing), Amazon sent the majority with packing on top (very few cases of little to no packing) and the PS4 box on the bottom. I haven't found how Walmart, GameStop, or any others have been shipping them but seeing as how nothing has popped up for them I can assume it was better than Sony and Amazon's. Amazon is getting heat for not getting many of the first pre-orders to people on time (many of them still haven't gotten them, including myself), especially after they opened up orders Thursday night and got those PS4's to people on Satuday for the most part. I personally believe Amazon is only to blame in that they didn't do a good job with timing of shipments. Seems like they might've not wanted people to get them early but that didn't even work out in many cases (I recall a guy in Montana getting his in the morning on the 14th). UPS is no help either for a variety of reasons. One being because they've yet to create a label for some of the tracking numbers from Amazon orders. Other things are from UPS being straight-up stupid, like with leaving packages at the door without notifying anybody at home (some people have reported theirs stolen and can't get a refund or any compensation that they're seeking since it was delivered) and even going as far as to not deliver the package (many people waiting home with a note at the door even and then seeing online that the driver wrote nobody was home on 1 or 2 attempts).

With regards to the blue light of death, it's not as big of a percentage as many would think. Low reviews on Amazon for PS4? Who is likely to write a review of something, the person with something negative to say or the person with something positive? They're warranted (assuming they're about a faulty console and verified purchaser) but that doesn't take away from the fact that people with a negative experience are more likely to review/comment. 1 million consoles sold on day 1, so far the amount that have bricked is not high enough to warrant too much concern right now imo, however i will wait to see how people report on their consoles doing over the next few weeks/months. Like with many consoles around launch, the PS4 has problems and I'm going to assume the XBox One will too with some consoles (I'd hope not but it's something I expect). There are some rumours going around about Foxconn employees purposely sabotaging PS4s during production but I haven't read up enough yet on it to state anything more other than it's a rumour.

We interrupt this Enzan/Spade exchange to bring you a fun fact - the PS4 sold over a million in the twenty four hours after it launched. Not even the fucking Wii sold out that fast.
