I had a little wobble in the week, now I'm sure I will not be cancelling, more so after yesterday, when I logged into Amazon to change my card, only to find all my history gone pre order etc. Arhhhhh.

Anyway after contacting CS, they pointed out I had somehow logged into USA Amazon. yep, stupidity is all the rage with consoles, more so me on Saturday Mornings!

so reviewtechusa finally made a video and also some more updates from others.

the consensus seems to be at the moment xbox fanboys are posting fake reviews/posts and that the failure rate is lower than is made out, especially as over a million units have been sold.

in my firefox the page wont scroll.

in IE it scrolls, but is blank below the scroll point so incomplete, weird site.

trying it now in a VM on a default insecured chrome, as the siste I guess is doing something questionable security wise.

now read the article, it is informative, good article.

Glad you like it which makes a change as most of what i post seems to get your back up

I say it as i see it regardless of what console it is and what i own,and if for some reason I'm not happy with certain aspects of the Playstation 4 then i will post about it.

Im sure come Friday we will get reports about Xbox one doing this and not doing that,some will be from the other camp like Sony fanboys as you call them,personally I'm neither as i have always supported all the consoles in the past as they all have there strengths and weaknesses .

But for now I'm sticking with one solitary console,that may or may not change next year if a exclusive game comes on a system i want then i will take the plunge.

Many years ago i was a avid Nintendo supporter because there first party games were incredible,but the company has completely lost its focus and does not really cater in my opinion to the adult gamer,there motion controlled Nintendo wii was a something that does not appeal to me even though i bought one.

Within a month or so that console was packed away and traded,same with the Nintendo Wii U totally unsupported ,hardly any games and developers eloping in there droves to main platforms.

Would not surprise me if Nintendo was already looking at another console to compete with the Playstation 4 and Xbox One because WII U sales are appalling .

In fact Sony have actually beaten the Nintendo Wii U sales in 24 hours and the Nintendo Wii U has been out a year,i may be slightly wrong with that comment but its not far of if i remember reading a article correctly.

is about 3.5million wii-us sold in about a year.

about a million ps4's pre order and launch week.

I was considering a wii-u until I see 2 year old games been sold for £70 and the console for £230 only comes with 32gig storage, nintendo seem to have lost its grip on the market.

My thoughts exactly ?

Saying that i have a love affair of anything Zelda Related and the Nintendo Wii U should have shipped with a Brand new Zelda.Mario Game or Metroid.

So because they have a new Zelda out on the DSL this friday I've actually revisited my store and bought the Zelda special edition Nintendo 3DS XL.

Its no secret I'm not a lover of the hand held market even though i have just bought another one of these units again after trading a couple in the past and i also own a vita.

Yet for mobile games i tend to use my iPad because in the DS case i find the screens just to dam small,the upgraded systems apparently are better with a 90% increase in screen size.

But the truth of the matter is i have bought this unit to play 1 game the new Zelda that has some outstanding reviews.

For me to even consider a Nintendo Wii U Then it would have to be a new Zelda game or Retro developers return with a mind blowing metroid because Metroid prime on the Gamecube was one of my top 10 games of all time.

And yes the Hard drive space or lack of it leaves a lot to be desired and i agree totally,they have certainly lost there focus and seem to be hell bent on the kiddie market and short term entertainment fixes because there games are certainly not appealing to the hardcore like me.

Think they have sort of got caught up with there success of the Nintendo Wii and thought lets make a similar system and its not worked,they have bought out a console with about as much power as what we are about to leave behind.

Back on topic...

Sony have given an advisory on the possible causes of the PS4 errors and meaning behind the blue light of death as reported here.

Seems there are several more avenues to troubleshoot potential problems:

Power lead (weird one that)
TV (even stranger)
Loose hard drive (kind of weird but not completely odd)


Well, anyway. The BLOD event means the PS4 is either having difficulty detecting a compatible TV or there's possibly something up with the internal hard drive. At least they're on to helping fix the issues though I really can't understand the TV incompatibility issue. If it's a really old LCD then it might not have HDCP compatibility which is a necessity but surely that would be true for the PS3 too so why it's emerging as an issue is anyone's guess but there's more about the issue in Sony's new troubleshooting guide.

Well, let's hope Timey doesn't have any trouble eh?

Yeah else the mucks going to hit the Fan

I have bookmarked all the links to fixes just in case

Sort of backs up your thoughts and opinions ...

Xbox Trolls

I'm sure Xbox One will get the same from the Playstation fan base
