Sony UK has 'pool of stock' to deal with 'dead on arrival' PS4s

4.7
Sony UK has prepared for any malfunctioning PS4 consoles, including the dreaded "blinking blue light" error. PlayStation UK Managing Director Fergal Gara told Eurogamer Sony has a stock of PS4s ready to deal with any consoles that are "dead on arrival."

"One thing we've done within our stock allocation is make sure we've got a pool of stock to deal with any 'dead on arrival' issues," Gara said. "It's not a vast volume, because there's no evidence to suggest we need a vast volume to deal with that. But our consumer services helpline is there to support gamers and solve any problems that do emerge."

When the PS4 launched in North America on November 15, reports of isolated issues started to surface. Now, with the PS4 enjoying the most successful launch week in UK video game history, Sony says the roll-out has benefitted from the extra time between regional launches. "[There has been] no major panic or changes required, but little bits of fine-tuning, not just on our side but also on the publishers' side," Gara said. "So, some small little glitches on some games that can be ironed out, patched and tweaked before it comes into Europe." Gara concluded, "the great news is there isn't anything serious."

HxD love how in th pic those boxes are ripped lol`


Those are the shipment boxes, the boxes that PS4 boxes come in for retailers


Exactly.
Probably ripped open for the picture or ripped open to be put on shelves.


Either one of them is pretty valid. I would think that it has been ripped open for the photo in this case though


Yes, although if these were ment to go any farther than the facility they were taken in, I would imagine whoever ripped them open was taking quite a risk, lol.


I would think so as well. It's pretty unlikely that said person will get caught though

That ain't no doubt.
The only consoles that I were able to find were on Craigslist for more than retail.

CommanderPig Wow thats a ton of ps4's.... XD


They need to send some to the US


Well there was probably a lot of people anticipated for the new console, that they might of ran out of consoles or so.
Barely anyone in the UK is buying the PS4. Their available in pretty much every store...


Someone in the UK that wanted to make extra money should buy and resell on eBay to American consumers, lol.


Barely anyone buying in the uk ? they have the highest amount of sales this week for the ps4 :/


That is just what I have been told via the person who has commented above me.
