Maybe because Sony is already having trouble providing enough PS4s around launch? I can't imagine that they have a whole lot of extras laying around
YOOOUUUUU!!!!!!

Or you could just sell the defective unit for half the cost... boom profit and after all you still get to keep that "Greatness awaits" card lol.
I'm sure there's people who's willing to put up with a PS4 that barely works.
Well, I wouldn't expect anything more than pedestrian for a games console. Consoles ain't servers and gamers ain't IT monkeys.

Launch console breaks down? Say it isn't so.

So the OP had his system go belly up when he was downloading an update for BF4. Kotaku's issue was a faulty HDMI port.
Do we know about the two reddit issues?
Trying to see if there is a pattern.
When they get stock in. Could be a while.

Sorry to hear about that, OP. Hopefully Sony is quick to get it back to you. They may give you a free game for your troubles, so don't get your ebay listing ready yet.
Also, I'm very surprised at how defensive and overly sensitive some people are about this topic. How quickly people forget PS2s shat the bed regularly (not as bad as 360s). It happens - it's part of being an early adopter.
It's going to be interesting to see the contrast for similar Xbox One stories. Going to be full of drive-by lolz and GIFs with no sympathy for the OP at all.

Not just Foxconn, but college aged, interns. Oh boy.

I have to admit, it does have me scratching my head. I know for a fact that even if I get a lemon, it willl be quickly replaced.
1 year from now is a totally different story.
This is generally a good rule for every new console.

The light on the ps4 is solid when in use, mine flashes on and off. isn't the red or flashing red of over heating.
They have directed me to re download the 1.50 firmware onto usb.
For those criticizing, if this happens to you (hope it doesn't) refer to this thread for help, skip past the "jokes"...
I don't know if it already has been posted, but have you tried to connect the PS4 directly to your TV instead of to your AV receiver?
Here's another taco bell winner as we speaking having problems with his console on a livestream looks bricked.

It just sounds like it was bricked during update, not necessarily sign of bad parts or design flaw.
I feel so bad for this man. I can feel the distress in his voice.

The guy is starting to lose his mind, it's kinda hard to see a man go through these stages of loss live. Oh man now he's calling Sony on the stream.

Hahahah this is amazing, he's calling Sony support.
Wow...
There is going to be a certain percentage of any electronic item that will be DOA or shortly after, it is just the way it goes. I don't think that anyone here should be overly concerned. At the same time I am going to say a short prayer that my PS4 is all ok!
We already have 5 broken consoles and it hasn't even officially launched yet. I'm starting to panic because if this is too widespread it will put Playstation down for good.
Those are pretty much the only ones in the wild right now with consumers.
