Pro Gamer but no games nice logic

Doesnt make sense. It doesnt matter if the console is out or not. These are manufactured units. It doesnt matter if they're the first units manufactured or the last. There will be defects. Again, please reevaluate your state of mind right now because perhaps you're allowing stanning to cloud logic, friend.

So my point is having multiple defects reported when you have less than 100 consoles actually available is a big deal. If it continues on that scale it would mean there are 10s of thousands defected consoles. Maybe more when they actually produce them. Think about that friend. Every console has a chance to fail but it has to be opened. tomorrow 1 million of them will be opened and used. If it this an ongoing problem we're in trouble.

Their initial anti consumer and pro corporation policies were a slap in the face to the fans and without Sony there to see the error in these practices, we would be subjected to a nightmare of a gen for gaming.

With the family sharing it was give and take. The only corporation that wins with used games is gamestop. Used games does not help the quality of the games we play. It hurts it. So the question becomes would you rather have some nice AAA games that you can never trade or buy used or some A games that you can get after you forgot why you didn't want to pay full price for them.

You dont know how many are out there friend but still, friend, you arent confident to say that this will be an ongoing problem. You still say if so basically, at the end of the day friend, this is just a sensationalized story by gaming websites to generate traffic for their websites. I dont see this story in any major business news outlets so clearly, it really isnt a story. Dont worry, our units will work just fine. You were about to buy the xbox one with its history for 1 in 2 of its consoles failing so really, in all realitiness, friend, you shouldnt be concerned, friend.

An always on console friend? Cant play used games friend?

Sharing games with 10 of your friends meaning that for every 10 console sold that at least 1 person would buy it. They were marketing an idea to get the devs the money they need to make games and get the consumers to play them. My console is always on the net. It just is. Gamestop is bad for consumers. But most consumers suck at math.

So you thought it was a great idea despite the fact many people this console would reach dont have internet. If sony wasnt around there would be people in this world that literally wouldnt be able to use the console to play anything. Sad. You're just thinkin about you, and not the gamers, friend.

Call me selfish but I have internet usage and don't really care about them being able to play videogames. I mean if they have food water and shelter I sleep better. But by no means and I thinking oh noooo. They can't play xbox.

Ok. You're a demonic gamer.

To me this is why Sony is the best. Not only is the console the most powerful, its made for everyone.

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."

Update 2: Sony's Shuhei Yoshida has tweeted that the company is investigating reports of broken consoles, and reiterated that it isn't thought this is a widespread issue.

Update 1: IGN has received a detailed account of one PS4 “Play the Future First” winner’s broken console experience so far. As of time of publishing this, Arogon (Reddit username), a 23-year old man in Maryland, will not be receiving a working PlayStation 4 before launch. That was to be his special prize…until the console showed up dead on arrival at 11AM ET. The console would turn on, accompanied by a pulsing blue light (it should glow white) – but it would not output a signal to the television.

The first thing Arogon did was call Sony PlayStation support, just like the official box said: "Do not return to the store." Not that he could, being in such a rare situation. We urged him to also contact the prize fulfillment company, but he said he'd won something from Prizelogic before for another reason and had a horrible experience. When initially connected with Sony support, they said: "Call back Friday. We can't do anything until then." Frustrated and not willing to give up on his dream, Arogon, called support again. This time a representative was more attentive and said they would look into the matter with their supervisor. Unfortunately for Arogon, he lives in "the middle of nowhere," as he put it, in Maryland -- his support call dropped. He called again, and PlayStation support had a record of his most recent call, but they repeated they could do nothing until Friday.

Feeling somewhat defeated, he started considering his options. Thankfully, only moments later someone from the Sony PlayStation social media team contacted him. He couldn't remember the name of the representative, but was told after they spoke with their supervisor there was nothing they could do either. Well, almost nothing. They credited $10 to his PlayStation Store account, and said he should continue talking to support. The story doesn't end there, however. The issue was escalated at PlayStation support, and a representative called him back to tell him they would be sending him a box overnight to his house. It would be an empty, pre-labeled box -- a coffin, really -- so he could send back his broken console overnight free of charge and get it into support's hands. The representative told him it would then take another 5-6 days until he got a replacement. Arogon is still awaiting further details from support, but it currently doesn't look like he'll be privileged enough to play the console before others. He noted his original plan was to stream his gameplay all day and engage with the community.

Meanwhile, IGN experienced the same issue, but it happened after the console was already working. It may not have contributed to the issue, but ours stopped working the morning after we updated to version 1.50. You can find more details in the original post below. Furthermore, IGN had tried a wide variety of methods to correct the issue: new HDMI cables, new inputs, new TV, putting a disc into the system, connecting it to and from the Internet, and, of course, holding down the power button during boot-up for seven seconds to try to reset things. Nothing worked. Oddly enough, we tried adding light pressure to the top of console and it briefly flickered a few active home menu images on the television.

IGN received a response from Sony PlayStation PR, whose offices are based nearby our San Francisco headquarters. A representative was able visit and replace our broken PS4 with the goal of getting their hands on the seemingly faulty console and returning it for technical investigation. We should note, this retail system is a critical part of our ongoing review and launch coverage. We know what you’re thinking by now: IGN got its system replaced and this poor consumer didn't. Trust us, we feel just as compassionate as anyone would in this situation. IGN reached out to PlayStation again to ask if they could escalate Arogon’s issue. The representative understood the situation and promised, “We’ll look into it.”

Regarding the ongoing and unknown source of this hardware problem, Sony has no further comment at this time. Could it be related to shipping? Is the hardware itself experiencing production issues?

We will keep you updated as the story develops.

While I could use it, I loved my time with my Playstation 4. It was slick, responsive and clean, despite a lack of top-notch launch software. That was when I could use it. Now, it’s just sitting beneath my television, humming along, unable to communicate with the outside world. I’ve got a faulty HDMI port, and while it’s much too early to tell with such a small sample size, it looks like this might become a headache for Sony'sPS4 over the next few days.
