Ett fåtal tidiga Playstation 4-ägare har redan tvingas rapportera hårdvaruproblem, skriver CVG. Den första offentliga rapporten kom från Kotaku som skrev följande:
"In the past week, my Kotaku colleagues and I have used one pre-release PS4 and three retail PS4s with no problems. I've also heard from fellow gaming reporters who've used their PS4s with no problems."
"But the first retail unit that Sony provided me failed to work when I plugged it into a TV in Kotaku's office. A colleague and I were able to compare it to a second PS4 that did work and we found that the issue was rather simple: the bad unit had a faulty HDMI jack that we couldn't fully plug an HDMI cable into."
"It couldn't make a solid connection and therefore, apparently, couldn't transmit a stable signal to our TV. We tried different cables and monitors. The issue was with the console. Again, to be clear, the other four units we've tested first-hand have worked fine."
Den andra rapporten kom från en tävlingsvinnare som fått tag i konsolen genom ett event i samarbete mellan Sony och Taco Bell. Reddit-användaren Aragon förklarade att skärmen bara lyste blått när han kopplade in maskinen.
"When I turn on my console it just sits there pulsing blue."
"As far as I can tell it is supposed to turn white but it isn't doing that. There is no signal on my TV either."
Även IGN har beskrivit ett liknande problem med sitt exemplar.
Huruvida Sony hunnit fixa problemet innan lansering eller ej lär vi bli varse redan imorgon då Playstation 4 dundrar ut i Nordamerika. Sony meddelade hur som helst till CVG att man undersöker saken.
