Worst advice ever.
The first thing you should do is test your system for all possible defects! Get it replaced now while it's easy, before you actually have to go through warranty.

To be expected the only question how big the problem is .
Hopefully it's just a small amount and MS get things sort out fairly fast .

So can we all agree that Foxconn sucks?
There is no basis to assume that MS can replace stock faster for a defective unit when both companies will sell out everything they put into the channel over the next month at the very least. Sony's shipping coffins immediately, MS will do the same.
Agreed. It seems way more pronounced since people are announcing it on social media. It will be the same as the PS4. There are just always going to be faulty units.
This kid in my class asked if my PS4 worked because there were lots of reports of them not working. I told him, 'those reports are overblown.' I didn't explain why I said that, but all this social media makes the defective units seem more disastrous than they really are.
That being said, it's good to know what the potential problems might be, and it's good that evidence is surfacing. The same kind of social media treatment caused Sony to make an immediate statement. Maybe it will be the same with Microsoft.

Sony HDMI failure vs Xbone Disc Eater.

Is it actually reading the discs?

Are they only refusing to play Ghosts, or are they rejecting good games, too? Maybe the X-Bone is simply smarter than we gave it credit for?

Hope they can get those replaced as soon as possible. I honestly wouldn't notice if the drive is broken, I probably won't insert a single disc into mine for months and when I do it'll be the first blu-ray movie I buy.

It says that the disc cannot be read.
From how it sounds, it is having issues spinning up once inside. The grinding are probably little gears on the inside not fitting right and choking, keeping the disc from being able to spin up.

I want to shout it from the roof.
I'm sorry you're right. It's just frustrating that you wait months to experience something and it takes a turn for the worst.
i get it...trust me i do...ive been VERY lucky with consumer electronics...but i plugged my PS4's HDMI blindly into the back of my receiver on launch day....thought i got it in "HDMI 5" but actually got it in "HDMI 6." This was of course after reading about the issues from the midnight launch people....
so you can imagine my dismay when i turned to HDMI 5 and nothing was displayed...i nearly cried...so i do get it...

My brother got an Xbox One. We had it on for a while and played NBA 2k14 and it just suddenly turned off, and now it won't turn on again. The power brick's LED turns from orange to off as soon as we try to plug it into the Xbox now...
Edit: really sucks that there's a disc stuck inside it :/

I dunno man. I had a launch 360 and it's still going strong. Really bummed out by this and I don't think there's any way for anyone to make it right, supply being what it is. :/ Really a bummer and I pretty much have no recourse for some time, and I'm DEFINITELY not going to throw down another $500 for another one that may have the same issue, from anothe retailer. Just herculesdisappointed.gif
ya know it didn't even hit me until you posted that pic...that it would be rather unfortunate for MS if a product based on tech that Sony had a part in developing was what caused massive failures on their console...

You get what you pay for.
How much does the average Foxconn employee make?
I know the guys working on the Apple line make the equivalent of $690 US a month.
But perhaps the Xbox crew get paid less.

That's unfortunate! Check stores open 24 hours and see if they have more. I know mine did. Then return the old one.

Actually more than that in this thread, plus some others being verbally reported in social media. Probably not a launch catastrophe, but certainly a potential problem for an unfortunate minority who will have to deal with returns, exchanges, and potentially a waiting period.
In other words, the fun of buying at launch. Praying it works.
I think that if the BD player is totally broken, you still can used for play PS4 in it

Not sure if serious?
The entire thread is about how the PS4 issues were overblown by the media and how these issues are likely not overly troublesome for most
No hyperbole here
That sucks Vince
Hope you get your consoles replaced quickly. no one deserves this
So both companies are using Foxconn for the consoles?

The woes of console launches.
What are you talking about? And where did you get those figures from?
Ladies and gentlemen, this is what you call a full blown meltdown.
I'm thankful that I was lucky through both the WiiU and PS4 launches.

Does the guy in the last video have his XBONE sitting on a winecooler?

I'm glad you detected my sarcasm lol
Exactly, praying mine works as well. Though the disc drive failing should be fairly easy to replace and hopefully not a full system replacement.

I don't know what you attempted, but it was terrible in every way.
