Just had a friend pop round who works at game a big retail outlet in the uk, I was a bit shocked to find they sold 36 ones and have already had 8 returned as faulty :(

Making the PS 4 seem more attractive for a guy that's on the fence.

    Both are having issues as expected. Some PS4s are losing power I believe, or some light issue. Can't beat a good trusty PC

    Darren,

    If your talking about the gear inside the Xbox not working right, I read a article this morning about Microsoft is issuing those people a new Xbox one and a free game for the trouble.

    You know how these consoles are when they first come out always some trouble, I don't think they ship the console to themselves then test it lol. It's probably the shipping that's messing these consoles up. I guess shipping to themselves then testing it would be kinda like a ad hoc build for us ;)

    Just read about the ps4 and yeah I remember problems with 360 I was just shocked at the amount as I read it was less than 1% but according to my m8s experience it's higher than that.

    50% of Xbox 360 consoles died or had issues - it's made my friend jump ship for the PS4 in next gen - shocking statistic - and now teething issues for both consoles. Lets see who comes out on top in this one...

    I've got an unopened day one edition xbox one sitting in my closet. Not sure what to do with it:)

    Try and pawn it on the street as a DVD player maybe?

    Oh, no, wait, it's too thick.

    VCR. That's it.

    I thought the 360 failure rate was higher than that... certainly seemed to be since I didn't know anyone who still had their original. Hopefully the One is a step or two better in this department this time around.

    Over the years I had four defective Xbox 360's and one defective PS3. So far no issues with my Xbox One or PS4.

    I bought my 360 a few weeks before Gears of War came out and it's still running like a champ and I run it almost 24/7 the only problem I have is I sometime have to tap the DvD door so it will open.
