So if you've been following the PlayStation 4 drama over its entire day of being on the market and available for general public, you'll find that the internet is now flooded with FUD stories ranging from simple things (not being able to log into PSN) to things that have not properly been confirmed (the system is overheating, smoking and bricking).
If you've bothered to read comments from any gaming site, they're all pointing to Amazon's verified reviews, where approximately half of the users seem to note that their console arrived in less-than-pristine condition and either showed up dead on arrival or stopped working shortly after plugging it in.
Over on Reddit there's a thread about the PS4s suffering Red Lights of Doom, aggregated from an article on GameZone. There's also a lengthy NeoGaf thread about these “widespread” issues, but again, many of these individuals suffering these problems also seem to have received their units from Amazon. Thankfully, NeoGaf also has a troubleshooting thread for users to try a few things to get their system working again.
I might cancel my preorder (UK, I know how y'all try to be smart and I'm not here for it )
I'm still on the fence on this one.Game wants to take the money out on Monday so I have a while to think about it 50% of them are semi-faulty, but I don't want to wait all the way until Xmas for another chance to buy one.
Not buying this console any time soon
