This happens in every launch. what is the rate of broken machines? 5-8%?
Uhm.. to be honest this seems more like a software problem rather than a hardware problem.. to me at least.
After a few hours?

Is it possible that the batch used for the Taco Bell promotion was from the first run?
That's WAY too high even for a launch. If it's like that something is terribly wrong with the PS4.
For good... Lol.
I'm just saying that if Sony gets the equivalent to RROD, they are going to drop Playstation because they can't afford to lose more than $1 billion on something like that.
students to get a D-?
Forced College interns...Makes you wonder if some of them could have done this to the system.

Too many Doritos locos tacos on the assembly line.
For some, yes. It sucks but it is a fact of launches.

Pretty much. Maybe they weren't even intended for retail.

So it could be problems when installing the update causing the bricking? Sort of like what happened with the Wii U for some people?

i remember a square trade warranty survey saying that defective rate for PS3 was about 3%. RROD for 360 was around 16. Its going to be higher at laugh. 5% doesn't seem that out of question?
*Dat Secret Sauce.
What was he doing when it died?
We can tell what you're doing.
He couldn't turn it off so he pulled the power cable out.
(He was also downloading a F2P game at the point when he pulled it)

That fire sauce is fuckin shit up, is there an option to not update to fire sauce on release day? Sounds like that's the bigger problem

Now that there are 5, we still don't know how many units are out in the wild to see if this is an issue. We also don't know if there are more since not everyone runs to social media to report such things.
I am still confident that this will not be a wide-spread issue. For those saying the Taco Bell Ones are because of a 1st batch, retailers have had units sitting in warehouses for almost 2 weeks now.
Man if you got it by eating a couple soft tacos I wouldnt be sweating the loss. Just a fucked up situation, but that's what happens when you run for the border while thinking outside the box.
What?
I think Sony should be praised for at least trying to make a sleek looking console, fwiw. We'll see how it performs. Don't think a few consoles bricking now is a huge cause for concern.

Watching a ton of streams all day and not an issue so definitely so far so good.
Hopefully the TC gets a good unit.

Just wanna remind everyone that my taco bell ps4 is fine after over 5 hours of use.
I...don't...understand this post but it made some jokes that seem awesome
5 out of a few thousand out there is not 5-8%
I am kind of surprised at the surprise shown in this thread. My Wii U was broken from the box - the gamepad wouldn't sync at all - and Nintendo is known for quality hardware (in general). I from now on will expect launch issues.
Of course, if this becomes another RROD, then we really have problems

if in a week we tally up every person who has a broken ps4 and every person who has a working ps4, im sure you'll find that its not that bad. that being said, i remember when my 80gig PS3 died after 9 months and Sony wouldn't fix it without a receipt even tho i believe the 80gig hadn't even been on the market for a year, and it sucks. 500$ paper weight, bullfuckingshit
silly me for thinking the console would last atleast a year.
Over a long enough time frame sure, but for a launch window that's extremely bad. I doubt it'll be that bad.

That post combines a series of Taco Bell advertising tag lines into a coherent sentence.

Well, let's keep our fingers crossed.
That your console remains in working order, that is.

I wonder what console the journalists got... retail or debug? I am guessing debug so they can get direct capture...
Even if it is a really low fail rate, this kinda news is chilling so early on.
