Feeling a little nervous about my Scorpio edition. Last night we picked up mine at Gamestop then had to go to another to get my wife's (they would not allow me to pre-order 2 at the same Store). When we got home I decided to hook up my wife's system first and by the time we were done it was really late so we went to bed. Got up this morning had some coffee and breakfast and read a few threads here. Came up to my game room did some cleaning and noticed that on my Scorpio edition on the dead center bottom of the front facing of the box is a giant gash/hole in my box. It looks like something impaled it since it is a deep gash.
Booted up the system it turned on no issues and then I hit the Guide Button followed by "A" when you boot it up. Then at the update screen when I try to hit Start it does nothing. You have Start or Turn off system. Nothing would move, left or right on the dpad or thumbstick, no buttons would work, but yet it worked just seconds ago when it had me hit the guide and "A" button. I removed the batteries and re-inserted them and now it works. I am hoping there was no damage because the what that hole was something hit it pretty hard. I inspected the system and it looks fine. Where the hole penetrated into the box the unit was sitting higher due to the foam, so whatever hit it does not seem to hit the console. What bums me out other than being paranoid something might go wrong is that the hole is dead center bottom on the side that says "Project Scorpio". I know it is just a box, but I like to display my boxes in my game room and it looks kind of shitty with a hole in it. Since my wife could give a shit about a box, I might take her box and use it for the display. I wish I would of checked it before I left since I normally do...I was just in a hurry to get out the store and to the next store to get her unit. Hopefully after playing it all day today and being off tomorrow I don't have any issues.
