I purchased a PS4 from amazon and got it in today. I got Bloodborne with it for someone else in the household (nothing out I particularly care about currently).

It bricked within 6 hours and looking at the negative reviews on Amazon the way it bricked and it doing so w/i days turns out to be a very common occurrence for the PS4.

It's not common at all. More than 20 million consoles have been sold to date. If it was a common thing you'd hear about it a lot more places than Amazon reviews.

hit up google for the most common issues with the PS4.

I'm glad you've gotten lucky. Really, I am. But when a PS4 bricks after 5-6 hours of use and you find thousands of reports of the same thing on a single website.

Well, you may want to define common, but the point remains.

I'm sorry but thousands of reports out of 20+ million units sold is a drop in the bucket.

I remember when people said the same thing about the XBox 360's RRoD before it was publicly acknowledged.

amazon sold 20+ million units?
