I have to concur, it's time for the mods to step in and create 1 stickied thread or this will get out of hand from both sides....

is even possible for plastic to conduct electricity? With so many trolls and fanboys on the internet these days is hard to believe in people when it comes to this stuff.

lol, it's funny this came up.

i was on the phone with my buddy last night as he set up his ps4 and it shocked him.

i think it was when he plugged in the hdmi.

also it made me think of this.

Boy how fast they forget the good old days..

14 million games console owners are still at risk of waking up to find their Xbox has become an ex-box. For when Microsoft issued a safety advisory for Xbox customers last month, it failed to address the underlying problem.

After several reports of consoles catching fire, Microsoft urged 14 million console owners to send in their old power leads for a replacement. But hardware experts point out that the power cable was never at root of the problem: it simply made the existing problem worse. The meltdown, and subsequent fire risk was actually caused by wear and tear on the power supply used in early models of the Xbox. The replacement cable featured a trip, which cut down the risk of your house catching fire, but left unfortunate gamers with a fried console. The cord has an interrupter switch that acts like a conventional fuse, tripping power to the unit.

Still haven't opened my ps4. There's the misshaped hdmi connection, which apparent'y isn't widespread. Also, i've read the "death" bar is an overheating precaution. Still thinking about returning the console, though. Also, I'm beginning to think a lot of the complaints are from xbox fanboys fabricating stories. I'm not saying that some aren't true, but when something is widespread in such a popular product, Amazon themselves usually put some kind of clause/update on the website, or send an email, etc.

Again there are millions of these being made and shipped all over the world, there will absolutely be a percentage that break during shipping or internal power or ground wires that don't get soldered perfectly causing shocks or failures on boot up.

It will happen, it will happen to PS4 and it will happen to Xbox One.........COUNT ON IT !!!

Lol .4%? Is that because you have to plug it in?

I haven't heard of any one getting shocked by their PS4. That's a new one. lol!! That guy should call his lawyers so he can get paid. What a disaster this has been so far for so many fans.

LMAO @tormentos for continuously mentioning last gens Xbox 360 in every negative PS4 thread. What a sad, sad butthurt cow you are. You're an embarrassment to all cows. All you can do is damage control. lol!!

Probably just a belt from a static charge.

There's plastics that can conduct electricity but they have to be specially made.
