Heard there were problems with the PS4.

[justgamma]

Some people claim there are always problems when a new product is rolled out. Just saying.

1. And its overblown

The problems are minimal. .4% failure rate.

[LAGC]

2. I don't know, take a look at the feedback on Amazon.com...

Sounds like the "blue flashing light" and overheating is a real problem, just like with the YLOD (Yellow Light of Death) with the early models of the PS3.

I never buy consoles at first launch. Wait a few months until they mature a little first, work out the kinks...

[Dwayne Hicks]

4. Its not

Its a very small percentage of people. Basically the PS4 launch is a resounding success.

[LAGC]

5. Maybe its just the few unhappy complainers who are speaking out disproportionately.

Whatever. I was actually thinking of picking up a PS3/GTA-V bundle once it hopefully falls in price, now that the PS4 is out.

I've never owned a Sony console before, but there are a few PS3 titles that caught my eye, as well as classics available through the Playstation Network.

So hopefully the PS4 catches on and people flood the market with used PS3s.

3. A million people here, a million there

Who cares, it's not ACA, so back off.

[NuclearDem]

6. It's Sony's brand new stupid piece of shit

That doesn't do the goddamn thing it's fucking supposed to.

[L0oniX]

10. Because MicroSoft is perfect.

[NuclearDem]

11. Actually I've got both a PS3 and 360.

And they're both equally aggravating at times. Sony's hatred of anything Bethesda and Microsoft's disdain for sensible interfaces.

But that post was just referencing this:

12. It was Bethesda that fucked up Fallout w/expanded packs. Pissed me off.

[NuclearDem]

13. Not just Fallout, Skyrim is virtually unplayable on PS3 as well.

In fact, FNV and Skyrim were the reasons I bought a 360 in the first place.

[last1standing]

7. Yes. We should always ignore the problems of minorities. Just saying...

[Boxerfan]

8. My PS1 still works fine-and games are cheap.

And frankly I prefer the earlier games.

Did I say get off me lawn there bucko?...Na not me...

But I refuse to buy in to the latest greatest yada yada-and yes I have kids who suffer terribly with PS2 & Nintendo DX etc..

I always wait after a product release in the latest greatest whatever. Bound to be a few bugs to work out-and your paying to test for them?.

[Archae]

14. I have a Gamecube, PS2 and XBox 360.

All second-hand.

I play PS1 games on my PS2 with a PS1 memory cartridge.

Spyro!

Sony looking into PlayStation 4 hardware problems on eve of launch

Ahead of the PlayStation 4's official release on Friday, reports have already surfaced of gamers and reviewers receiving retail units that aren't fully operational.

Gamers who received early PlayStation 4 units through a special promotional deal Sony offered began to receive their units on Wednesday, and some of these early adopters quickly discovered problems with the new gadget. Two Reddit users claimed that their consoles were essentially dead on arrival. Another early PS4 owner said his console froze when he was updating the game "Battlefield 4" and "hasn't worked since."

---------------------

I think I'm waiting about 6 months - I still have too many PS3 games I haven't tried yet - and the few games they have out for the PS4 don't interest me anyway.
