Hey maybe it's the ULTIMATE version, beyond time and space

So it looks like Europe doesn't have manufacturing dates. And digitals don't either.

August for me, bought from best buy

Also...look at the model numbers. America seems to get 1015A and 1015B...while europe gets 1016A.
Maybe...

Any particular reason for asking for dates btw? To gauge manufacturing defects? I think the later made models if you got a console on launch day would be September

Yeah curious, also because MS said they started later in manufacturing vs Sony and apparently Sony started mass manufacturing since May. Which also says they may have a shit load of playstations made. From May to November.

From bestbuy.ca
Very quiet all around
No coil whine from a normal distance (can hear it below 12 inches)
Platinumed spiderman MM, never crashed

(I did make it crash on purpose, but that's a firmware bug)

Best Buy Canada

Zero noise, like I think I heard the fan once when I turned it on the very first time for a second.

July Model, Made in Japan, Shipped to US. Damn near silent with basically none of the common problems.

August 2020, purchased for In Store Pickup from Best Buy in Indianapolis USA.


Pretty Quiet. No Coil Whine, just a bit of a noisy disc drive when installing some games, or for the first 30 seconds when starting a disc based game. Honestly, it is pretty similar to playing disc based games on my PS4 Pro. Watching UHD Movies basically makes no major noise. It is the same level of noise my dedicated LG UHD Player makes. You can just hear it read a disc if you are really up close.


I have had a few crashes, NBA2k a couple of times, and a few of the "Your external storage was not removed correctly" after it crashed. So I had to rebuild the database. I think this is a common issue with external drives, I heard Blessing on the Kinda Funny PS I Love You Podcast saying he had the same thing.
