The PlayStation 4 officially arrives in stores on Friday, but a lucky few have already received the console before the time out there. However, what should be joyous turned into a headache for many people, since some devices began to malfunction after a short time of use.
The first reports of problems arose with the staff of Kotaku. In their analysis, the journalist Steve Totilo says PS4 obtained by one of the staff was not able to send the images to the TV. As much as he changed the monitor or the cable, the result was the same.
After several tests, it was found that the fault was on the HDMI output. According to Totilo, the connector was not working properly and therefore was unable to stabilize the transmission of data between the console and television.
Only that Kotaku was not the only vehicle affected. IGN also reported that one of the units tested had a similar problem. According to the website, the PS4 started normally, but the image suddenly disappeared after a short time of use.
The page also points out that the failure arose after installing the version 1.50 system, although not able to determine if the installation of the update had some influence in place or if it was just an unfortunate coincidence. And like Totilo, IGN also conducted several tests to see if the PS4 somehow answered, but nothing worked. However, they point out that, by making a slight pressure on the top of the device, the image flickered briefly on the screen.
Winners not so lucky
Whether by chance or evil eye of people who are going to have to pay $ 4000, the truth is that many people who won the PS4 in promotions encouraged by Sony also encountered instability of HDMI console. Some reports of defective parts arisen in forums, leaving the people who could not wait to get their hands on the new generation system much more afraid.
In a thread on Reddit, user Arogon account that received the device in your home, but the equipment was not working as it should. According to him, to turn the light appeared in blue instead of white and no image was displayed on your TV.
After much struggle and attempted to contact Sony support, he got an answer and a solution: changing the console. According to his account, the company secured a period between five and six days for a replacement.
On his Twitter, the president of Sony Studios, Shuhei Yoshida, said the company is investigating the alleged failures and says that the number of reports is still very low compared to the total units shipped to stores. Because of this, he believes that it is only a few isolated disorders.
console crooked
Furthermore, Kotaku published a small video that shows the PS4 is slightly bent, creating instability in an annoying one of the corners. According to the website, the problem occurs because of a slight difference in height at the base of the console.
Will this matter?
And therein lies the fear of the Brazilian player. On account of the high price charged in the national version, many people chose to import the U.S. system. And if this failure is repeated in one of these devices?
Will this matter?
As alarming as all this is still no reason to go into despair. To date, the number of problematic consoles is still small and it is difficult to say whether this failure will be the equivalent to "3RL" Sony this generation. With the official launch of the console on Friday, we'll find out if we are facing something of a point or "crisis" widespread.
Also, please note that these problems are, in a sense, "common" in early generation. As the company has been racing against time to finish the production on time of release, is no stranger to either drive end up falling short in terms of quality. The problem is when it involves a whole lot.
