As an air traffic controller, I will be short-cutting every single fedex and ups flight as much as possible tonight even if it makes extra work for me

Tuco, are you doing 2 prizes? possibly 1 mega-prize if you win both?

If so, how are you doing it? Let's say it's a contest of only Noodleface & Sean.

Sean
PS4 NA Sales by March 31st 2014: 2.5 million
Xbox NA Sales by March 31st 2014: 900,000

And the "real" amount is 2.3 million PS4's sold and 1,350,000 Xbone's. Exactly 1/2 way between both contestents. How do you decide who wins? (sean over on PS4's and noodle over on xbox).

Sorry for being a nerd. I just like math, so this makes me wonder.

I find it amusing the Utnayan has by far the highest estimates.

Ritley · Nov 14, 2013

To be fair he never said that they wouldn't sell that I could remember, just that any who bought one is a retard, sheep, etc

Good News About Our Once-Broken PS4...

Later in the day, I got a call from Sony. They'd examined our unit and they figured out the problem. A piece of metal in the system's HDMI port was supposed to have been flush with the bottom of the port but instead had been bent upward, obstructing some of the pins in the port. It had been hard to see, though I imagine we would have noticed if we'd examined the unit more closely and not given it back. Nevertheless, we were told that that PS4 had been fixed. The Sony employee testing our unit used a pin to push the small piece of metal back down. They then plugged an HDMI wire into the unit and it worked. They even brought the unit to our office so we could see for ourselves.

The obstructing piece of metal in the formerly-broken PS4 had actually knocked some of the "teeth" out of the HDMI wire-the one bundled with that PS4-that we'd originally plugged into the unit, the Sony folks told us. We checked two other HDMI wires that we'd used during our brief bit of troubleshooting, and sure enough, they were missing the same teeth, too.

The good news here is that the problem was small and easily fixed. The slightly bad news is that we're unable to tell you why this happened. It's certainly possible that we accidentally knocked that piece of metal upward when we first plugged Sony's HDMI wire into the PS4. We can't rule out human error on our end. But we've been plugging wires into HDMI sockets for a long time, and we've never had this issue before. It's also possible there was something wrong with Sony's wire and that that's where the initial fault lies. Or perhaps the jack was indeed badly made. Sony doesn't know. We don't know.

All we can say is that, if you get a PS4, check the HDMI port carefully. Check the HDMI wire that comes with the system carefully as well. Make sure everything looks flush. And with that, hopefully you'll avoid this problem and we'll never hear about it again.

Sounds like a problem caused by the uncontrollable sway.

Why do they let people other than Brandon do reviews? He is infinitely better than all their other voice over people, especially annoying long hair guy.

hodj · Nov 14, 2013

Wii U super mario just got a 9.6 from ign I think it was as well.

Even if the xbone and swaystation don't have a single game through the rest of this year, those two games alone will keep me busy probably for a good while.

It only ever happens when Brandon is completely unavailable (he's probably in NY at the PS4 launch). And yeah it sucks bad when it's not him, he's the best reviewer voice on the planet by a mile.

Noodleface · Nov 14, 2013

My PS4 is sitting in the town over.. I wish they would just let you pick it up or something. Instead you have to wait for the delivery window of between 8AM and 8PM. Seriously even Comcast has better windows than that.

There's two contests. Each one is to guess the total North American sales for the Xbox One and PS4. The first contest runs until March 31st 2014. The second contest runs until March 31st 2015.

As for what happens if the difference is the same between the two:

"What if it lands on its edge?"

Man I am fucking horny for that Zelda game. A link to the past is one of those games that is life-changing, and based on this review this one could be too. I would love to buy that 3DS bundle but I Know I would never use it except to play zelda

Yukiri_sl · Nov 14, 2013

I dunno whether it's my internet (which it shouldnt be) or if the PSN is sporting it's typically abysmal download speeds but Resogun is a bit over 400megs in size and Im approaching hour #2 of the download...

Regardless, please do yourself a favor and pre-load that system update onto a flash drive. Dont fight the crowd tomorrow trying to get the update if you dont have to.
