Defective DualSense, I'm on board. My initial DualSense already has drift. Console has been fine though.
Sounds like a group of people who don't understand how software works and how (whatever the term is that I currently can't remember at the moment) acceptable failure rate(s)? are in mass manufacturing. This probably isn't going to go anywhere.
Yeah.. no more than any other electronic device in recent memory.
Not denying there have been some issues but this feels way overblown.
Isn't this just normal rare launch model deficiencies that virtually all major hardware releases go through?
Pretty much. Now if Sony refused to replace the consoles under warranty, that would be a lawsuit worth having.
I don't think you can sue anyone over an unstable operating system and lost save data. As for "potential damage to the overall system" let's see those receipts.
"They're willing to replace it in the first year so it must be broken" is certainly some logic 😂

My OLED has a 5 year warranty... it's garbage with a screen!
That's a reader feature. Which are always fanboy drivel. The website defo seems to be quite a bit anti PS with the way it portrays itself lately. Annnnd it takes all of its news from Era.The very same website 10 days ago:

Is it? I haven't seen any real concerns. There are obviously going to be some degree of failure, but nothing outside of electronics norms. What are you basing it having "horrendous" build quality on?
Probably some dramatic take on coil whine and varying fan noise depending on fan model.
Well my os has been fine, but i might have allowed for my ps5 to topple over from a very small height, clinching the hdmi cable and making the port inoperable. Personally i think it probably should have not been so touchy but it's being sent back to me right now so.... I'm not that upset🤷
Basing on my shitty Nidec fan which makes a shit ton of noise because I lost the fan lottery yet Sony refuses to exchange. Also based on cheap power supplies that makes a lot of coil whine to a lot of users. And yes based on crashes that a lot of people had (although that may be also fault of the OS).
Sorry some people weren't as lucky as you in Sony's lottery.
Always amazing to see people side with big corporations and not the users.
When you base your evidence and your case on:
"Unhappy people I found on social media".
You're done before you even got started.

yeah I had to replace the spring in the r2 of one of my controllers. and another one has bad drift.
Also agree no issues with console itself since launch
I normally don't like these type of posts, but then yesterday as I was mindlessly browsing YouTube Shorts (or was it TikTok?), I saw a video of someone who bought a copy of Anthem from GameStop for $0.01. I was in disbelief and awe, and you are indeed correct, you can literally buy 200 copies of Anthem for $2.00.
