Karak of ACG reports that their review PS5 died on them...
- Thread starter DominicanGlory
- Start date
Launch period consoles usually have a higher rate of failure, I don't see this being indicative of a widespread problem as of right now
If we see more reports as people start getting their consoles then I'd start to worry

All electronics have a fail rate margin, no matter when it was made or how many, others will die, as will Series X.

Well, electronics fail. It is expected that if one of the very few available fail, fuzz will be made despite not being confirmed as an actual issue.
Can a mod change the title?
His name is Karak
Probably just a typo or autocorrect but still
There are lemons out there. They always exist.
Now if it starts happening to multiple people then we have reason to be afraid (I see you joy con drift) but nothing to worry about yet.

I'm not saying it's his case, but with youtubers and Social media, these situations are going to be bigger than they are. And I always wonder, how many people mess up their consoles to get some views and clicks.
It's one console out of a launch of how many Sony released. Usually someone ends up sadly with a defective console at launch. Hope he gets his fixed or replaced soon.
This actually goes my anxiety. My PS4 on launch was one that was dead on arrival...I hope this isn't the case again.
Remember when people thought the PS4's Blue Light of Death was gonna be a huge thing
Unfortunately, electronics do not have a 0% fail rate, hopefully Sony's turn around time is quick

My serie X died almost 2 or 3 hours after I bought it, I'll have to wait weeks now to get repaired so it's not surprising if PS5 are dying too
Yeah but the display one was probably due to the way it was encased.
One person out of how many so far? Don't think we should fire the alarms yet until it gets to a concerning rate. This is bound to happen with hardware in general. Pretty enlightening from cautionary standpoint though.
I assume it comes with the stock 1 year Sony warranty. Bummer. My launch PS4 actually died a month before the warranty expired but other than that I've had no issues other than a 3 year old Wii system dying. Fingers crossed I'm not one of the unlucky few who get a bad unit
Same, despite already knowing that this happened.
Here's hoping this isnt a bad sign for launch PS5's! I should have one coming this week.
*narrator voice* They were never buying one at launch in the first place
Yeah as others have said, it's not going to be a 0% fail rate.
Damn that sucks... sorry to hear that :(

Doesn't mean much at this point, but I am curious to see what the failure rate will be on these things. This year has been so fucked up for manufacturing and supply chains of any kind. I didn't think we'd even get new consoles this year.
Yeah and there was totally no explanation for that other than incompetent design!! *shakes fist at sony*
One of the many reasons I'm glad I'm not jumping in at launch this time around.
Got burned in one way or another each and every time. Bad hardware, missing features, waiting on must have games and patches and peripherals. There's no way these things aren't coming in hot under the best of circumstances, but I'm sure COVID and general 2020 fuckery doesn't help matters.
