I mean I know we all got jokes, but this really isn't looking good. I thought the Forbes article would just be a recount of what's already been reported, but it's another first hand report of an HDMI problem

Yeah and this is before the things even released.

I can't remember any console having units break in the hands of reviewers. I hope it's not too bad. But I truly think Sony skimped on materials/production costs since they were under such pressure to not sell at a loss. There have been reports of the controllers wearing down too.

With knack and now this, Cerny might not be "the god" after all:wow:

I don't feel bad, no electronic device ships with a 100 percent function rate. shyt fails. :manny:















































However, if I get a faulty Quad, I will be furious. But I like my chances percentage wise. We'll see what happens in the coming weeks.

The good thing about RROD is that it brought alot of attention to this kind of shyt although I highly doubt we'll see epidemic failure like that ever again.

If reports in the Chinese press are to be believed, Sony’s next-gen games console may be being assembled using some very outdated labor practices. According to Hong Kong’s Oriental Daily, thousands of students from an IT engineering program at the Xi’an Institute of Technology are being forced to work at Foxconn’s Yantai plant assembling the Sony Playstation 4. Students have been told if they refuse to participate, they lose six course credits, which effectively means they will not be able to graduate.

Officially, the program is considered an “internship” and it is publicly recognized and promoted by the school. But students have said that once they got to Foxconn, they were assigned to jobs that had no relation whatsoever to their fields of study, including grunt work like distribution and shipping. One student, for example, majored in finance and accounting but has been assigned to a job that entails glueing together parts of Sony’s Playstation 4. Another was assigned to a job that entails peeling of the PS4′s protective plastic and putting stickers on it. Still another, a computer science major, puts the PS4′s various cords and the instruction manual into the console’s box. Moreover, students say that their working hours are exactly the same as regular workers. The only difference is that unlike the workers, the students aren’t there voluntarily.
