Also, this PS4 also wobbles like GiantBomb's

Also, this PS4 also wobbles like GiantBomb's

Oh god...

 

[SwiftDeath]

Why does it wobble?

 

[Massa]

Why does it wobble?

It wobbles if you put pressure down on the glossy side.

 

[BronsonLee]

Looks like Tane designed the PS4

DO THE WOBBLE

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

Twerking PS4s

 

[Flo_Evans]

DAT wobble.

did I just make a dat post? yes I did.

 

[xxracerxx]

WobbleGate!

 

[Boke1879]

Wobble is a non issue. None of you will be pressing down on the top of your console for any reason at all.

 

[chadskin]

In all honesty, that's seriously disappointing. Not "pre-order cancelled" disappointing, but disappointing nonetheless.

 

[kuppy]

really nice, it's easy to change

Twerking PS4s

that's gotta be it

 

[Prevolition]

Too much focus on the insides?

 

[Valnen]

Wobble is a non issue. None of you will be pressing down on the top of your console for any reason at all.

Doesn't matter, it shouldn't do that.

 

[Faddy]

Why does it wobble?

They put feet on at the line break between the matt and glossy plastic rather than at the corners. I have no idea why they did this, maybe for the stand?

 

[Sum-Mischief]

I'm going to have is standing up anyway. But, this is something that in design should have been looked at.

 

[Lord Error]

Why does it wobble?

Because you're supposed to keep it vertical. It's the opposite of XB1

 

[Boke1879]

Doesn't matter, it shouldn't do that.

and it doesn't when it's laying flat not being bothered.

 

[shungokusatsu]

Should add something about SSD to the title.

 

[R3TRO]

I live in a volcano so this is going to be a problem, fix this Sony.

 

[Zombie James]

Of all the things to complain about, this is bottom of the barrel. The thumbstick issue is way more important.

 

[NeOak]

So it has to be 9.5mm max?

I was thinking of using a velociraptor in my ps4.

 

[coldfoot]

Should add something about SSD to the title.

Doesn't matter if it's SSD or HDD as long as it's a 2.5" SATA drive less than 9.5mm high.

 

[inner-G]

Doesn't matter, it shouldn't do that.

Um, it doesn't when its just sitting there.

 

[stang6604]

pre-order cancelled!

 

[SirMossyBloke]

The guy that made Knack made a console that wobbles. No surprise lol

 

[frayne182]

Wobble is annoying. I'm not getting a PS4, but would be kind of annoyed if it was doing that.

 

[Valnen]

Um, it doesn't when its just sitting there.

I don't want it to wobble when I touch it either. It should be stable. I paid $400 for the damn thing.

 

[The Cowboy]

Wobble is a non issue. None of you will be pressing down on the top of your console for any reason at all.

I can't agree with it being a non issue, the device has moving parts - one of which is likely to cause vibration (the BR Drive). Having uneven feet that allows the devise to wobble due to vibration is not good.

While the PS4 is just sitting there, its a non issue, when the PS4 is use it is an issue - not device such as this (with moving parts that can damage media due to vibration) should be able to wobble that much.

 

[Frumix]

The guy that made Knack made a console that wobbles. No surprise lol

Come on now.

 

[dazzlerazzle]

Why on earth this thing is not flat ?? 0_O

 

[DryvBy]

Doesn't matter, it shouldn't do that.

Yeah, I still don't know why this is the first mention of it.

MadCatz cardboard anti-wobble in the works to fix it though.

 

[xxracerxx]

I live in a volcano so this is going to be a problem, fix this Sony.

The volcano resides on that one corner of your PS4? I think the unit is stable to shaking as long as you don't press down on the corner.

 

[MikeE21286]

Stand purchase confirmed.

 

[Guymelef]

The question is, what happen if you go back to the old HDD???

 

[Snapshot King]

That looks really easy. What are the requirements for PS4 HDDs? Anybody have some recommended ones?

 

[Mr Moose]

Wobblegat...

WobbleGate!

Damn it!

 

[Qassim]

When you demand cheap hardware......

 

[Big Papa Husker]

Is there a backup restore process on PS4 like thr PS3? I might not get a new drive until Black Friday.

 

[Kintaro]

That's strange and a weird oversight. No one would want even the potential for their electronics to wobble. Hope this thing doesn't start scratching discs due a bad footprint (similar to Xbox 360 Slim).

 

[140.85]

This is like silly season the week before a presidential election. Everything little thing is a PR disaster/big drama.

THE NEW YORK TIMES SAYS "PS4 WOBBLES".

CAN YOU TRUST PS4 WITH YOUR GAMES?

Paid for by Citizens Against Playtation PAC

 

[SeventhSon]

Evidently, it only has three feet on the bottom, so it can wobble if pressed down on the back corners.

 

[N.Domixis]

When you demand cheap hardware......

It's not cheap it's just balanced on the heavier side. It won't move unless you press down on it.

 

[Replicant]

I'm guessing there's some kind of rubber base in the middle of the PS4 that causes it to be uneven.

I hope they fix this on the 2nd batch.

 

[NHale]

Scratching disks awaits

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

Glaring oversight if this is true for all production PS4s. :/

Guess I'll need a bunch of these:

 

[Loakum]

invest in a vertical stand. The wobble problem will be solved.

 

[N.Domixis]

Scratching disks awaits

No lol, the ps3 coul tip over and not scratch Bly rays. Ps4 should not have that problem.

 

[BRocknRolla]

Cool. Glad it looks easy and there weren't any hitches. Going to go straight for my SSD.

Scratching disks awaits

Could be wrong, but I think installing a new hard drive while playing a game would be a poor decision. Unless you're planning on rocking the system with one hand and playing with the other. That would be a nonsensical option too.

 

[Fermbiz]

Do I have to fold a peice of paper and stick it under to balance it out?

 

[Metfanant]

MS was right! DAT balance!!!


Will my PS4 also twerk when it comes on Friday?...Seems odd...but the "PS4 wobble" could become a thing...
