JohnC wrote:Thanks. I read the Kotaku article at work on Friday before I got my unit so the HDMI port was the first thing I checked... no dice. Would have been nice if it was, though . I also reseated the HDD a couple times and the file system check (apparently) passed but it once it tries to reboot it goes back to blank screen.Well, good luck with your unit. B.t.w, did you try checking for stuff like bent pins inside the HDMI connector or make sure that the HDD in your unit is seated properly?

Does this thing play Vita or PSP games? To me it seems like a good idea to me, though I guess Sony wants people buying $60 PS4 games and not $40 Vita games.

The second post is particularly interesting. Also the post #19.
Disgruntled workers? Racial issues? Or MS agents bribing some of them? Conspiracies everywhere!

It was to the point that they straight up asked me "Amazon?" when I mentioned that I had the issue. Also, based on what I saw and overheard, they must have processed a few dozen defective units at the store I was at.Amazon

I installed a Seagate 1TB SSHD in it and happy to say it worked fine out of the box.
ClickClick5, was it zinc oxide paste (white paste)? I'm not sure I want to reapply the paste right now, but if it's zinc oxide it'll be worth replacing in about two years due to dry out.
