Wouldn't the people who ordered from Amazon not even have their consoles yet?

Where does it say who is a real buyer and who is a troll?

Bound to happen.
much like the ps4 amazon reviews, 99% of these will be fake fanboys
amazon reviews are not a usable metric
1 of the 11 5* ones is verified and 2 of the 4*. thats it from all 29 reviews at this time.
Do Amazon have to verify the reviews manually or is it automated?
I believe you have to order a product, and have it shipped to your residence to qualify as a verified owner.
I understand that part, but when you submit a review does it automatically know you bought one from Amazon or do Amazon have to check every single review manually to apply a "verified buyer" label to it.
I didn't see a single verified purchaser there. Unlike for the PS4.
Sony fans trolling perhaps?

I mean look at this guy who claims to have gotten a brick XBox One, yet he has reviewed and 1 starred some XBox One games

lol I wouldn't trust those 1 star reviews. Not for now at least.
Some of them are obvious trolls.

I thought you had to purchase the item from Amazon to review it? A lot of those people are claiming they got it at either Best Buy or Gamestop yet can leave a review on Amazon???
EDIT well you do not have to purchase the item from Amazon to review. Pretty flawed system they have there no doubt.

Yep.
Just saw this one posted in the launch thread. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Y43Q-KlvQY
What in the heck is that noise? That's one hell of a sound.

Anyone can leave a review. But the site makes clear who bought the product from Amazon and who didn't. Most products don't have drooling prepubescent fanboys ready to troll product pages, so it's not an issue.
Sorry for those having trouble. People buying one this weekend: extended warranty. Don't even fuck around.
A bad fan. Gotta be.

maybe mishandling during delivery/shipping? I heard xbox one have warning for user not to move the console while the disc is inside, dunno why, just give me impression that the disc drive is probably more delicate than usual or something. or maybe that's normal for console I guess.
I move my ps3 around sometime while there's a disc inside and don't have problem with it, although that is probably not the smart thing to do too.

I edited my post as I did go and confirm anyone can in fact leave a review, and I think that is flawed beyond just fanboys of video game consoles.... Employees of a company leaving favorable reviews of their products. Disgruntled ex employees leaving unfavorable reviews. Not really a great system in my opinion, but it does help they show who purchased it, but I have always just reviewed products I purchased, and is have also always held th customer review on Amazon to be pretty solid. Now, not so much. Just my take on things, obviously you see it as being okay. Me, not so much.
For what it is worth. The video is actually about the controller not seeming to work despite being synced but he resolved that now.

Video link says 'Resolved' in the title...
Wasn't this an issue in some of the past gen consoles?
Like we discussed a week ago (and I really think will be discussing next week in the EU zones) preliminary data is preliminary...
EDIT: Most of these 1 star Amazon reviews I've read so far are fake I'm pretty sure of it. lol

It was a huge issue on the 360.

This is growing pretty quickly.
Personally lost several brave discs to the '360's drive carving out nice little rings in them. RIP GTA IV and Halo 3. ;_;
I suspected it was the 360 but didn't want to step on toes without being completely sure. If this is true I wonder what drive makers Microsoft have been (and still are perhaps) going with? lol

Sounds to me loke the gears that move the lazer arent meshed correctly and they are just skipping, or the lazer is for whatever reason stuck and the gears are grinding the,selves trying to drive it back and forth.
Still, pretty shitty. Welcome to another gen of fucked up hardware built on the cheap.

Shouldn't laugh cause I feel bad for anyone who gets a broken console, bit I have to admit this is the first thing that popped into my head:

The grinding sound on this one is especially loud, I feel uneasy just hearing it.
