I've got an update on this today. Amazon replied, they can do a refund, but not a replacement (since they don't have any in stock), or they can offer me a 10% ($40) credit and let me keep it. The PS4 works fine, so I'm tempted to take the credit, but I know that crack is going to bug me...
How do you find out where and when it was made?
Thank youIt's on the back/bottom of the case.
That is an excellent idea. I'm going to check out how much those cost right now.How about you take the credit then get the ps3 ext warranty that covers accidental damage then in a few months claim the cracked corner. It should be covered.
Iv imported from the US, Amazon.com, expect to see it in the UK on Tue 19th Nov
Also have another PRE-Order for a killzone megabundle on the 29Th Nov at GAME UK
Im kind of lucky that I have 2 consoles at launch to ensure I have a working one. (If both work, I will be selling one to a guy in work for cost price, non profit)
I am concerned though that it will be DOA, the amazon one atleast... I have 3 queries though
#1 Is there a chance the Euro PS4 (altho same design etc) Will be a better build quality as its a later batch
and
#2 If my Amazon.com Console is DOA, I presume I dont need to send it back to the US? (unless its for a full refund) - I can just send to Sony for repair?
#3
ORRRR would I be able to swap my Amazon 1 into the GAME shop box and have them refund, at no difference to them?
So I set my PS4 up last night and played about an hour of Killzone. I had to get up early this morning and went to eject the disc. Well I couldn't find the eject button, so I just assumed I was an idiot and checked the manual. I touched where it said to and still nothing.
That's when I noticed this:
It looks like they forgot to give me an eject button. It couldn't have broken off. I've only had it in my living room and searched the carpet and the stand I have it on as well as the box. On top of that like any new console, I was babying it, and it wasn't dropped or anything. There also doesn't seem to be any broken plastic around where the button should be.

Please, create a thread where ppl can say, in some kind of pool if their ps4s are working 100% (hardware wise) or not
So, I got up this morning and decided to give it another shot, I had stuck it in the box last night so that I can ship it back to Amazon.
However, I plugged it in and it actually came to life! Unfortunately, that didn't last long. I didn't even make it into a game before it started to flicker like crazy, lost signal, and turned itself off.

My bf4 campaign wont load its on the second mission and its stuck in the loading screen for 20 minutes, the disc tray is going on and off repeatedly or something and making a high pitch sound, is this defective or a firmware bug or corrupted data?
You get your eject button with the next update, Yoshida confirms on Twitter...
I assume you've tried a different HDMI cable?
Yeah. I tried different hdmi cables, different hdmi ports on my receiver, tried connecting it directly to the tv, and even tried hooking it up to my PC monitor... All the same result.

Sounds like we're having the same problem.
Do you have an August model?
My console is working fine, but it seems like I have a dud controller. The one that came with my system triggers the home screen randomly. Faulty button?
The problem with stuff like this is that there are probably 100s of thousands of people playing without an issue, the people that do end up having problems seek out help on the forums making the problem seem more widespread than it really is.
I think Gaf is the perfect forum for a head count on working/problem polls. Most people going there to the Playstation forum are doing it for troubleshooting. A gaf poll could give us a good like at what the wild ps4 populous is like. Personally, I got my PS4, I set it up (firmware was quick and painless) and then turned it on and off at least 30 times and everything was fine. I haven't played any games yet cause I have exams to study for. Should I still be worried?
Nice thread OP. If I can add that my PS4 locked up yesterday and with the absence of the flip switch in the back it is tempting PTO unplug to reboot. That is likely the genesis of other bricks like the twitch guy.
Hold THE POWER BUTTON UNTIL YOU HEAR A BEEP and it will reboot in safe mode preventing a brick.
Mine arrived. Made in yantai, sep...yatta! I'm afraid to hook it up now
Two questions/comments from me:
Also...standby mode. Maybe I'm confused on this one but is the system still technically running in this mode? I put my ear next to my system this morning and it looks like the thing is still on (I can hear the fans a bit and the HDD).
Good luck man.Guys I'm going to the PlayStation store in Houston Texas. Hopefully they let me switch out my broken PlayStation for one that works..Wish me luck...
