I've seen quite a few by now and they haven't done that.

^ This seems like it got ignored. He's from gametrailers. Maybe it was just that system?

 

[xxracerxx]

Wait... you need a stand to make it vertical? And it is not included? What the fuck.

You don't need the stand, it just gives the unit a wider base.

 

[Radec]

Look at the middle. Is that the thing that makes it unbalance?

 

[fallagin]

Looks unbalanced

Perfection.

Praise Jesus.

 

[Insane Metal]

Woah, Microsoft was indeed right... XBone is balanced, PS4 is not!

 

[proccor]

Console wars are over, Microsoft has won!

 

[Iced_Eagle]

Heh that's a bit strange. I wonder if they'll all be like that, or if it's just an issue with Giant Bomb's unit?

A very minor annoyance that I'll probably notice when I insert/remove USB drives and discs. Hopefully Sony fixes it in the systems for early next year when I get mine. Not a big deal, but just a tiny annoyance.

 

[Contra11]

it's a bad unit , not a big deal
i heard some people who tried the PS4 said the build quality and plastic overall is cheap

 

[MCD]

If only the power brick was external this would have never happened

 

[iceatcs]

 

[coldfoot]

Looks like their unit is missing a bumper on the other side, they mention this in the video.

I'd guess so. Didn't they have a team dedicated specifcally to designing the exterior? Kinda seems like something that would come up.

Sometimes I forget just how many industry people are on GAF.

This is all I could think of.
Console wars lead to fun bs threads.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Locked?


HALE NO! This issue cannot be locked. Preorders are at stake here.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

What a shitty gen. Xbone sucks at graphics, PS4 is a terrible paperweight and the WiiU is just terrible.

[Vestal]

yup can't see rubber feet on the top corner.

 

[MG310]

Might just be an issue with the center and/or left side feet on their unit...though it does seem odd that there's none on the other end.

Either way it's a very very small issue.

 

[floatingcoffins]

A side by side comparison with the Xbox One would help.

 

[PorkFryRice]

vertical stand not available for purchase yet in the US.

 

[TheRealTalker]

I've seen quite a few by now and they haven't done that.

I wonder is it is the table legging or that particular console

 

[Beant]

I am looking forward to the truth coming out on this. No way sony is producing 30% more wobble than Microsoft.

 

[MBR]

Nah, this won't be a big issue. It either came with one less rubber foot, or had one knocked off, or it's a very rare manufacturing issue.

It wouldn't take more than 1 minute to DIY fix it, though.

 

[hwy_61]

EDIT: nevermind

TEN EIGHTY PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[lifa-cobex]

I cancelled my pre-order and am returning all of the Target games.

Yup.
In-fact I'm gonna get rid of my PS3. A red light wont turn off until I unplug it.

 

[scsa]

Well, that's one annoying trait if it is there on all the units. Has someone confirmed this fact on any other unit?

 

[waypoetic]

I love the sarcastic overreactions

I cant tell which ones are sarcastic. So much cynicism and fanboyism these last couple of days...

 

[Windforce]

Table is uneven.

 

[Gaz_RB]

I love how this thread got unlocked, lmao

 

[Bundy]

I've seen quite a few by now and they haven't done that.

Yep!

 

[Incognito]

Disconcerting if this is not an isolated case. Speaks to Sony taking aesthetic shortcuts that lead to a flawed design product. Begs the question that if Sony's taking shortcuts over the hood, I can only imagine what has happened under the hood?

 

[Alchemy]

Could be uneven feet on the system, which wouldn't be universal. Or its a shitty uneven surface.

Highly doubt this is going to be a major problem.

 

[Neff]

Everything PS4 has done since announcement has left me cold, and if Sony did suddenly drop their A grade engineering and design pedigree for no reason and forget to make PS4 sit steady, my first instinct would be to laugh my ass off.

But there's no way in a million fucking years that this isn't a case of a missing or poorly-placed rubber foot. Sony are simply not that catastrophically stupid.

 

[TonkuySlon]

Nah, this won't be a big issue. It either came with one less rubber foot, or had one knocked off, or it's a very rare manufacturing issue.

It wouldn't take more than 1 minute to DIY fix it, though.

Yeah...like roll up a bit of paper and stick it under the sagging corner...man, we seriously suffer from FIRST WORLD problems...

 

[GavinGT]

Jeff said he noticed that a non-final unit he used didn't lay flat either.

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

Can we get a mod to edit the title?

IF YOUR PS4 IS MISSING A RUBBER FOOT, IT'LL WOBBLE WHEN YOU TOUCH IT.

 

[GoofsterStud]

I plan on placing my ps4 vertically so I'm not worried. Would be crappy if true though.

If you look closely to the back the table also moved...some presdure or crappy table. You decide.

 

[Recall]

Everyone panic over nothing.

Let's wait for mass retail before mass hysteria over rubber feet begins, please?

 

[HooYaH]

It looks like the bottom separator of the halves (the thin power light) is bulging from the bottom which causes the imbalance to one side. I have no clue how the engineer of the device did not see that unless Sony went further cheapness by taking out the rubber pads to save cost.

 

[Prince Vultan]

Wish I hadn't been beaten to the balance jokes

 

[Dinda]

Maybe should have cleaned the table first.
