My apoligies to those who aren't familiar with this topic, but for those in which it is I thought I would share in hopes of helping
so many who are torn on which system to buy.

Back in the day I had a PlayStation 1 and 2.

Converted to Xbox 360 later on because felt it was better overall compared to the PlayStation 3.

With the new console war and a tough decision, I decided to go with the Sony PlayStation 4 over the XBOX 1.

But just like hundreds, if not thousands of others, I've had nothing but problems with it freezing up every few minutes, and even getting too hot.

Sony supporters say that for the heating problem you need to make sure the system has plenty of ventilation and even have a fan pointed towards it. Well duh that goes for any similar electronic devices (dvd player, satellite, etc.) but they dont get hot like this thing does.

I say that's a complete joke after hearing the ps3 had similar issues, and the fact that I never had one problem with the xbox because Microsoft has enough sense to put a sufficient fan inside to keep it somewhat cool.

Hey Sony, it's's not the buyer's responsibility to have to be concerned with finding a secondary, alternative way to cool a system they just forked out $400+ for.

Not that it matters anyhow since the freakin thing usually freezes up before it even reaches the overheating point :>(

By the way, I don't even have much time to mess with these things, but these new systems have some excellent entertainment feathorrible thibg.

Ive recently watched & listened to people all over the world in their homes via live video feed per a ps4 camera.

Very interesting to watch them answer a barrage of messages and even critique on their screen, from other users.
Hilarious to hear them verbally defend themselves to total strangers, who are probably 50% young kids, thinking of any & every horrible thing they can think of lol...

So what's the deal. Are you stuck with the thing? I take it Sony won't allow refunds and stores won't allow returns on opened electronics?

I probably still have time to return it to store, and Sony is replacing them and paying for shipping, but every report I've read people are claiming that the replacement does the exact same things...
