Shocking - a new piece of hardware has issues (and idiots putting the system on the carpet or other places that isn't a table or TV stand)....I'm shocked. Not.
Xbone will have similar issues I'm sure.

Without a doubt. But if you think it's because people are putting their brand new 400 dollar console on the floor, you are being fooled.
I just find it funny that some of these PS4 are bricking right out of the box.

Perfect encapsulation of how I feel. Love what Sony set out to do but I am a major Halo fan and competitive multiplayer fan. Would make the switch if a game on Sony's system could really compete with Halo's multiplayer. I have been looking at Kill Zone and the new COD but I'm just not sure. I'm geeked up about Destiny. Thinking about getting the PS4 early and maybe get COD then Destiny. Then a year from now buy into Xbox and Halo 5.You shut your mouth, boy!
All I was saying was that Sony, in a haste to release the console, didn't release good games with the PS4. It can be rectified with the release of new games that have gone through the complete development cycle and not rushed to production due to the need for release day numbers.
No reason to buy now, but still want to buy. I want Sony to win... I hate M$. I hope they spin off Xbone. I am a big Halo fan though. I am conflicted. It's complicated.
edit: PS: Don't tell BN24!

I've seen people take $40,000 router modules and put them on the floor and then walk into them, it's absolutely happening in some cases.
they've always done that, I have the dubious distinction of having an original Xbox AND my first PS2 brick immediately after purchase. These are just specifically-purposed computers and nothing more.

It's not like this is a console only problem either. You can buy pc parts that are DOA as well.

Loyal Playstation guy here. But I have gone through 3 PS3's and now it appears a PS4. I was playing BF4 for about 30 minutes and it turned off on me and now wont turn back on. It sits on the top shelf of an open air unit meant to hide wires for my TV that's mounted over my fire place. Circulation isn't the issue (ceiling fan on and blowing on it, as it happens to be), but the console is very warm to the touch on top.
It's a shame that early adoption of technology is just assumed to have hardware and software issues. Especially for items like this where most people stand in lines for considerable time (or pre-order 6 months in advance) and spend a sizable amount of money on. Not to mention these gigantic organizations have years of preparation, R&D, and predecessors in which to analyze potential hazards.
But in their defense, it's not like computers/consoles have ever overheated before. So why would they anticipate this as a possible issue?

I read on one site where the new consoles basically have a fail safe to prevent overheating from destroying consoles, but what's the point if the console always overheats?

It will get replaced and I still have my PS3, where our NCAA league is still going on and GTA V still has my attention. With what little time I have to play anyways.

It's time to bring it!
Got it Friday. It got pretty decent use over the weekend. Didn't experience any major issues. Had a while where it said it couldn't connect to the Internet. I eventually restarted the system and it worked again. I had issues connecting to EA servers for FIFA, but was finally able to connect on Sunday. I'm thinking that was likely an EA issue of some sort.
Had fun playing FIFA with my kids. I don't know that there is much of a visual difference between the PS3 and PS4 versions. My 6 year old really enjoys playing KNACK. It seems to be a decent enough game that follows it's own little story. The best way to explain the gameplay is that it's similar to a Skylanders game.
Signed up for the free 30 day trial of PS+. Downloaded several free games that I haven't really played yet. My 6 year old is very eager to play the DC Universe Online game. We already created his character, but he didn't get to play because football was starting. I won't really know how the other big games (CoD, BF4, etc) play until Christmas. The PS4 is very quiet. I don't even realize that it's running, as it doesn't have any noticeable hum.
