Those assholes at Sony can never get it right, can they?

Typical launch problems, and I think it's less than .4% having this problem. That being said, haven't had a problem with mine.

And if this sort of stuff continues, I wonder if Sony will be generous enough to extend their warranty to three years like Microsoft did? Not that it would matter, general consensus is that Sony is God and Microsoft is the devil no matter what.

I wonder if both companies give as much of a shit this year as they did with ps3 and xbox 360. hopefully they both took their time to make a finished product.

Doubtful. The hardware was obsolete before either system was released.

Like last time, the consoles were rushed and incomplete. And it will be years before games come along that take full advantage of the upgrades and truly showcase the consoles ability.

Pass for now. $400-$500 is too much to drop for 60-something player Battlefield 4 conquest or a KillZone or a Forza.

One thing I can say while playing Killzone: Shadow Fall:

If the report is true, some of these problems may be due to a group of Chinese students working at Foxconn sabotaging them as they were put together.
