Ew at the way they handle discs. Just ew.
Same goes for the console itself.

Well, the Wii U has proven reliable for sure, but it sure as hell didn't "just work" out of the box. You had to wait a LONG time before you could actually do anything at all.

Yeah. You're right. Sony Ninjas sabotaged it!

A lot of assumptions in this post.

A problem being justified? Brilliant.
I remember playing games on mine before being able to go online. Maybe that's because it wasn't a launch unit?
Not true at all. You can play without the day one update and play while the update. Downloads in the background. Compared to the ps4 and Xbox issues, the Wii u launch was better.
Naw you could still play games on it. The press also had their units early but they only received the day-one patch at the same time as everyone else. The patch added basic functions like miiverse, and some other stuff.
My housemate came back last night after going on an epic 6 hour mission to find one without pre-ordering, he even had to ring his parents to lend him some money to cover the cost of a bundle he found at GAME here in the UK.
He came back at around half 12, we installed the patch which took us to about half 1, we then installed Skype and fucked around with the Kinect (which didn't work that great) and the Snap feature. We then decided to start playing Ryse,
then this problem became apparent. Whenever we inserted a disc, the loader just sounded like it was destroying the discs, the Xbox One then wouldn't register them either and would ask us to insert a Xbox One disc or a blu-ray.
At the time last night there was no more info, but it is good to see that there is some knowledge now. He is ringing the GAME this morning, hopefully we can get a replacement today.

Hope I don't run into issues when I get mine tomorrow. My PS4 wasn't part of the 1%, here's to hoping the X1 ain't either!

I know this isn't necessarily on topic, but PS4 owners should also check there drives to make sure they work.

Basically yeah.
Fair play to you day 1ers who build up the launch user base and such, but I will always wait at least 6 months for new consoles, this stuff being one of the main reasons.

I honestly feel terrible for the guy, can't imagine how disappointed he must be.
But this made me laugh so much

Hmm, interesting. So as long as you didn't want to use it online you could play straight away?
When following the initial startup procedures there did not appear to be a way to play while the update downloaded. I had to wait for a good 2 hours.

Eh?
It worked fine out of the box what are you talking about?
You could at least play games without the need of a patch.
I can only think of one sound that is more sickening.
That sound is so unnerving. I can just feel it fucking it up beyond any hope.

yeah sure
Nintendo would be stupid as hell if they'd release a family console which doesn't work right out of the box.

I didn't know the Xbone had a built in ink jet printer.

Oh you're absolutely right and that's great that it works without a patch.
I simply remember following the setup procedure and being railroaded into updating online immediately and then waiting for 2 hours. It was frustrating when I just wanted to play.

Awful sound but not likely to be widespread issue.

My old 1541 made that exact sound sometimes!
Don't understand how anyone can say that at this stage. It might just be because the Xbones were banged about a bit. It might be a batch of dodgy gears in the drive. We just don't know.
All we do know is that problems with hardware are normal.
You had the option to play while it was updating lol.

Meanwhile I think that the PS4 game cases are in an extremely appealing shade of blue.
