Where are you getting the 10-15% figure from exactly?
Personal estimate based on the amount of people complaining of failures.

.4% going to be 4000 per million. We are going to hear a lot more about any console not working than workIng fine. I mean how many topics are we going to see saying, "Dammit my PS4 is working great!"
... they come with a manufacturer warranty. If you have a truly bad egg, you're likely to know about it sooner rather than later.Why I always buy warranty's for launch system.
Looks like Sony's copying the 360 playbook to the tee that includes manufacturing faulty systems as well. Hopefully this doesn't become as rampant as the rrod
Having this same problem. Gotten the RLOD 8-10 times now, each time after the system has been on anywhere from 2-10 minutes. Gonna let it rest a while and try again.

Ah, I didn't even see that one, its a more general thread.I think mods keep closing threads that are dedicated to broken PS4s. We'll see how this one goes.
Guess this explains why.

It was the first line of the OP.Are we gonna get a thread for every ps4 that dies?
Because 1.5Millions preorders * .5% = 7500 threads.
That's gonna be fun...
Well, looks like several/few/many of us are getting bad systems, I figured we could use a thread to congregate the bad PS4 posts together.
Exactly.
I'd like to see how the XB1 launch goes. For all we know this sort of stuff happens every launch, it's just we don't get to see/hear about literally every single person who this happens to. This is the first console release where social media is king, word spreads easily and it can definitely feel overwhelming if we've never been able to witness and interact with all the issues normally at launch.
Oh fuck, I'm putting a launch PS4 away for Christmas but now I'm concerned about it. Im assuming Sony's warranty is 1 year right?
Getting worried.
And I say that with a 360 that I bought in 2005, survived RROD, and still works to this day.

Can you hear the fan? Mine would usually RLoD in like 1-2 minutes though, just on the XMB.Having this same problem. Gotten the RLOD 8-10 times now, each time after the system has been on anywhere from 2-10 minutes. Gonna let it rest a while and try again.
How long does it usually take them to sent it back? I remember that with MS it could sometimes take a while. (2-4 weeks)Should have sent it to Sony

At least our SNESs still work, amiright???
They should provide the users with broken consoles with a free Ps4 with as little hassle as possible.
Yep. Consoles bought a year later never break down.
This is why i dont buy consoles on launch day.
And that is what they are doing.
So you pulled that number out of your ass. Got it.Personal estimate based on the amount of people complaining of failures.

Got my PS4 I was so happy...Booted it up for the first time...No video...Retried after unplugging the HDMI and replugging it...It worked for about a min...But then it lost the video image again....Never been able to get that sexy PS logo boot to show again....
Moral of the story. I'm fucking pissed off.
They are? I've yet to hear the final results of this, seeing as how it has been out for less than 24hrs.
We'll see how hassle free it is in a couple days to a week.
I've seen too many cases of Sony selling inconvenience and disappointment in a box with this PS4 launch.
I'm a big fan of the Playstation brand, and I'm loving my Ps4.
That having been said, Sony needs to make right on this one. They should provide the users with broken consoles with a free Ps4 with as little hassle as possible.
No. Not like this.
I understand failure rates, and defective hardware, but day one?

I can only understand PS4 news in Banderas gif form.
Red Bar of Death.
Well I don't believe mine is dead but it might as well be. I turn it on and I get nothing but a black screen. It looks and sounds like it's running normally but it just seems to have some kinda display problem. Tried different cables,ports,TVs but no go.
Isn't that what the warranty is for?
Other than the HDMI port issues, which I've 99% sure is user error, all the failures seem to be caused by different things. Which is totally expected for a mass produced electronic device where most of it's components were sourced from the cheapest possible supplier. Some fans will fail, capacitors will burn out, hard drives will die, but as long as there isn't some design flaw that effects 100% of the consoles, that's all within expectations.
