Mine is exactly the same, and in the same sort of setup. Hopefully someone else will chime in ,but the matte side of mine does get warm. The fans are blowing warm air, but the system never feels hot, and quickly cools down once it's off. I should also mention mine is super quiet and I rarely hear the fans, even though I can feel them working.I hate to ask this again, but is the console being warm to the touch (matte side) and blowing out hot air via the back normal? I have the PS4 in an entertainment center that is quite large, the front has a glass piece which I leave open at all times.
I'm paranoid :-/

Called amazon this morning to see if I could get a replacement rather than ship back to Sony and unbeknownst to me they have one shipping out and I should receieve it tomorrow. Guess I'll return the ps4 coffin when I get it.

Anyone else having this issue? Keeps making that read write sound. Ps4 has been used for maybe 2 hours. There's nothing on the install list. Kill zone disc was in earlier, removed but disc noise continues.
Anyone had a similar occurrence? Worried mine is defective....
Thanks to all who read!
kage - The chat is kind of buried within the bowels of the site (probably intentional). Scroll to the very bottom right of a page on Amazon and click "Help", then "Contact Us" on the right side of the screen. My PS4 has started doing exactly what yours is doing - rather than go to safe mode it beeps a second time and shuts off.
I just tried chatting with Amazon and was told that they had no stock to offer a replacement, but they could ship me out a replacement as soon as they received stock. I asked how long that may be and the rep said "In my experience 2 - 5 weeks". I told him no thanks, I'll just wait on Sony.
kage, I would be interested to hear what they tell you.

I literally called 2 hours ago and got a replacement overnighted to me. It'll be here tomorrow.
The CSR also told me they didn't have stock. I didn't accept no for an answer, and told him I wanted a supervisor. He puts me on hold, comes back 5 minutes later saying "oops we do have stock for replacements". My overnight is now preparing for shipment.
Do NOT accept no for an answer. It's not the CSR's fault but it is. They check the website, see out of stock, and say no. However, they have a stock for replacements. When he puts in the request, It'll go through despite his better judgement.

I tried again and now a console is being sent to me overnight. Anyone trying Amazon for a replacement - take this user's advice! Don't take no for an answer.
Are they expecting the old console back?
Am I being over paranoid or is my DS4 left stick not working properly
Tell me GAF
Anyone else having problems with live from playstation after update, streams not loading.
Yes me too
...?
Maybe needs a ps4 reboot?
The Amazon app keeps crashing my PS4 after I play a few episodes. Their app on the PS3 was crappy too, but it didn't lock the whole system up. It's a pain to disconnect the AC and sit through a storage check every time I reboot.

Question: So how does it work? You receive the new unit and have to give them the old one?

Getting dat blue light of death.
When I try starting it and holding the power button, it shuts down after the second beep. No safe mode apparently... Is that a confirmation that it's defective?
Also, how do I chat with Amazon? :<
I've tried doing that, but it won't register. The power button is weird because I can't always tell if it registers my finger or if it's slow to respond or what, so my experience could be human error, but I've given it a serious try the three times it locked up last night.You shouldn't have to disconnect the AC, just hold down the power button until it turns off.
I'm really interested to see how the replacements fair. Watching to see the reports roll in. Hope they replace them with sturdier later built units.

But this looks odd. So, I might be getting 3 PS4s this week. Well at least one of them will work. Right?
Ok, not exactly a problem per se...but is everyone having to manually set the video 'fill area' so it fits the whole TV screen? I had to do it the first time I booted up Killzone and Warframe I believe. Just seems odd. It should be smart enough to fill the whole screen automatically.
Success!

: ) Don't mean to burst your bubble but those are RMA's, not replacements.
It means you can send back 3 PS4's haha.
It does. The setting is more for the HUD due to individual overscan for TVs. Which the PS4 cannot detect.
Mine did the same last night I think. Tonight I will try to take out the disc and play a hard drive game to see if it's the fan (heat related) or if it was just the disc drive. It seems it should not be too loud, even under load. I will give it til the end of the week or so before I decide if it's an issue or just the normal console noise.
I was wondering what this was for, thanks for clearing that up. Though I noticed that as I try to expand the area it's not centered on my screen (the whole image is closer to the bottom then the top) and if i keep expanding then the bottom corners get cut off.
One more question: I am one of the few who does not own a 1080p TV. It's a 720P plasma, but it supports 1080P signals (when I hit the info button it says the signal is 1080P). So I assume the TV is then accepting the signal but downscaling it to 720P. Is this bad? Could there be input lag or degradation in the image quality? Should I manually set my PS4 to 720P?
