not that hard to tell if you aren't as invested in console wars.

Sorry to hear that, man. You will be good to go before you know it. Thanks for the update.
That sucks man, sorry to hear that. Hopefully they'll get it (or a functioning one) back out to you quickly.
service should be quick they just send you a new one.

The Kotaku incident has been diagnosed as a physical hardware issue. They were unable to physically insert the HDMI cable so that a connection was made. Seems separate from the other issues.

How many PS4s are even out in the wild? Wonder how many reports we'll get on launch day

What the fuck happened??
Someone grab the picture of where the feet are. The problem isn't that it's not sitting straight: It is. It's just has feet on one side and the middle and non on the far side, so while everything is level a bit above ground, you can push it so it's not. ONLY if you push it though.

Don't foger that the number 4 is unlucky in Japan. No good can come from this console
It should have been named 1080PS

How many won the Taco Bell units + media.

If it becomes a widespread issue then can agree with that. But as it sits now the wobbling is not only an issue that seems to affect all of the consoles but it was also done intentionally. And since it doesn't affect the actual performance of the console I won't be surprised if doesn't get addressed til we see a PS4 Slim in five years or so. That will drive me nuts.

That sucks big time. When I got my launch day 360 it was dead out of the box, froze at the boot logo. Luckily I only had to wait a week to get another one.

They are shipping a ton of units. There will be a defect rate. Social media just makes the reports stand out more than we heard in previous launches.

So that's 4 dead so far and they've not even launched yet. Wow.

Wow, I know dat feel. You've been waiting this long for your shiny new toy, and now you have to wait even longer while jumping through hoops. Worst feel in the world.
I saw the pic.
Look at the gif again. It's not level before he pushes it.
Again, it's probably a one off thought as no-one else is reporting it.
I just dont' get why are people freaking out? Its bound to happen, when you make millions of something, some will be duds.
Have you been able to try full recovery at least?
Fucking Brad Shoemaker, haha.
I'm getting tired of the word isolated.
DS4 has issues, hopefully it's Isolated
HDMI port is flakey, hopefully it's isolated
PS4 bricked, Hopefully it's isolated.
Has it ever occured that these consoles are rushed and will guarantee a problem once received? I'm actually worried.

Damn, that really sucks dude. Hopefully it's a fairly quick turnaround.
Hopefully for Sony and for gamers picking up the PS4 over the next few days this is an isolated issue.
Good luck getting your console back ASAP.
Yeah, Friday won't be a good day for Sony. :lol (Please, give me a working PS4 Sony!)
To be fair we've still got people talking about wobblegate in the thread.

Did you try what I told you?
If you can boot in safe mode you should be able to fix it.
Look at the gif again. It's not a big deal.

I already commented on this in the original thread but there better be something wrong with that table. If my PS4 doesn't lay flat I'm going to go crazy. I know for sure that if my system bricks Sony will fix it but will they treat that issue like it's a defect or not?

Good to see someone who has a head on their shoulders.
Majority of you need to get off the internet for the next few days.

Kotaku had an HDMI port problem, but considering OP had it working, maybe it's something else? Or maybe it's not passing the HDCP handshake?

Yeah, I want to know this too.
I'll be getting the extended warranty with accidental damage as I have a ton of Sony Rewards. I cart my PS3 from my gf's place to mine nearly every week (and often my heavy ass PC too) and I expect to do the same with the PS4. Better to have peace at mind in the end for me. Even though its highly unlikely to be worth the extra $60.
Freak outs are happening because there have been multiple reported issues and the console isn't officialy out yet. People just want to know if this is just the standard new tech defect rate or if we are looking at RROD levels of disfunction.

Anything under a 3% failure rate is a success tbh, and if people thought that 100% of systems would work in the first run of builds.. then i got news for you.. more will break.
Gaf is going to be a crazy place to hang for the next few days.

Let the hyperbole begin. My God.
Looking at it head on it really looks flat...until you press down the left side.
