PlayStation 4 (Official Thread)

I clicked this thread thinking it was for PS4 related stuff. My mistake

What the Hell were you thinking!

A few guys that I know over here also received DOA PS4's off of Amazon.
They say that customs here didn't tamper at all with their stuff. But most likely this Global Shipping Program shipping (same shit that eBay pulls) had their stuff opened and "examined" and then re-sealed without putting the padding/protection back properly (or not at all) as they should have done.


Similar to this scenario,

see that is exactly what i was starting to think, cause my unit is from that so called claimed plant in china (built on sep 13) that was supose to make all these bad units, but mine is doing quite well. the only thing thats not the same is i did not buy it at amazon, i went to my local walmart.

maybe amazon is doing exactly that with shipping ? or had some pissed off employee damaging units (either at the plant or at the shipping facility).

I could see some shipping department just being overworked somewhere and deciding that getting them out ASAP is better than ensuring they are packed appropriately.

[old man]

Those damn Japan hating Kentuckian rednecks and their fried chicken. How dare they trash his stuff. lol

Actually the shipping company probably just crams everything into the smallest boxes possible to cheap out on shipping costs. Space is really more of an issue than weight.

Pfft. I'm 5'10" 160lbs, athletic, play sports, in college, don't own a gun, and live in beautiful Colorado.

@bultje112: You're insulting quite a few Americans at this point. I suggest you stop with the stereotypes.

if I'm insulting you or anyone else then thats their problem. not mine. and what stereotypes did I even use?

[bultje112]

never order things like these online. postal companies destroy almost any item that can be destroyed.

Actually it is your problem. You're the one throwing the insults around. Calling all Americans fat, going on about how Americans are inferior, how there's no culture, the cities suck, etc. is nothing but an insult. There's no other way to interpret it. It's only natural for people to feel insulted when you act like a pompous asshole and insult their home.

and what stereotypes did I even use?

There was this for starters:

no culture to be found unless it's culture to be incredibly fat and have a mcdonalds in every street corner.

That's the Fat American Stereotype.

So yeah... the PS4 seems pretty fun.

That's great, now why don't you go eat your mid day hash brownie and take your bi-yearly shower?

No, those are stereotypes. That would be like me saying that it's a fact that all Dutch people are constantly stoned, wear wooden shoes, have blond hair and blue eyes, and most of them are gay.

[tomaitheous]

I love it when people come to visit the US and it's nothing like they expected or fantasized about. There's plenty of culture in the US, you have to know where to look for it. You'll almost never find it in large cities, with maybe a few exceptions.

Also, as far as fat is defined; I think it's defined differently in the US than the rest of the word. There's "few extra pounds", chubby, chunky, and then fat (30 to 35 lbs over weight isn't considered 'fat' in the US). The most people here in Tucson and the next city over (Phoenix, even more so), aren't fat. Young people tend to be pretty thin (teens, early twenties). It's usually the older americans that have settled down into families, that put on the weight; i.e. parents. Maybe the fat people stand out more, since foreigners aren't used to seeing fat people? I dunno.

What does this have to do with the PS4, though? Not really sure, but I'm digging the new PS4 slim downed look. Nothing like that PS3 fatty!

yes and it wouldn't offend me at all. see. being offended is the problem of the offended. not the offender

[TrekkiesUnite118]

No, it's really not. This is a child's excuse and doesn't hold water at all. This is like saying "Being killed is the problem of the person dying, not the murderer." It's broken logic that doesn't make any sense.

If you are being offensive and are aware that your behavior is offensive, then you should stop doing it.

What's up with the stripped out functionality on the PS4. No CD's and MP3? You mean to tell me my old ass SCD can play them and a PS4 can't!?
