Be advised that there is at least one known manufacturing issue with some of the new consoles, related to erratic wiring of the HDMI contact. Google "blue pulse of death". It seems to effect 0.4% of the produced consoles so far. Sony is aware of it.

Possible there is more technical problems as well. Later rebuilds of the console in question sometimes led to less noise, less warmth, less power consumption, less unreliability with any given component.

I would not buy right now, not this early.

But I do not plan to buy a console at all. I found that for my simulation and game interests I need a PC.

PM me an address and I'll send you one for free. I haven't taken it out of the drawer in several years, and don't even have a TV to use it with. Also all the games I have.
