Please don't buy it until they fix the issues on the next batch.
Always been a PlayStation fan. Bought extra controller, camera, 3 games, you name it. Got my PS4 today, and all I got was the blinking blue light, and no video output. System wont go in safe mode, and tried calling Sony.....1 hour 47 minutes on hold and just gave up.
Please, just please....wait and don't buy this rushed console. Let Sony workout the bugs.
Since I wanted Titanfall and Forza 5, I ordered Xbox One, so hopefully I'll have something to play this month, and HOPEFULLY no issues happen on the Microsoft side. I basically wanted to enjoy exclusives from both consoles.
I returned my PS4 today to Amazon, and will re-order when they update the model.
Not trolling as you can see my purchase is verified. Im a gamer, I don't take sides to bash on the other. If Xbox launches a bad system full of bugs next week, you can bet I'll review it bad as well.
We are spending a lot of money on these consoles and I expect quality from it. Lets come together like brothers and enjoy the games and console of our choices.
If they make bad units, speak with your wallets and return them.
Edit: I did check the HDMI ports, which are perfect. I tried the suggestion of removing the HDD and booting without it....nothing.
I tried doing the boot sequence "press power for 7+ seconds until second beep"....nothing.
I tried it all. What happy 5 star reviewers don't seem to grasp is that some consoles don't work AT ALL. No matter what steps you try troubleshooting this, it simply wont work. It needs to be repaired.....PERIOD.
Btw, anyone that down votes "verified purchase" 1 star comments, its either a troll, or an ignorant person that doesn't want to hear the truth about your beloved console. Just because its not happening to you, doesn't mean we "verified purchase 1 star reviewers" are lying. I wanted to enjoy my PS4 as much as the next guy.
