I keep putting off sending it back because i've become obsessed with Fallout 4. I've found by turning it off at the wall when i've finished using it, it will then work next time (sometimes I get the above error so hold down the button on the front and try again). Once it dies properly i'll RMA it (again). The most annoying thing is the constant wind up I get from mates telling me i'm an idiot for selling my PS4 Pro to get an xbox.

As @hardkore said, just send it back now, why use something that keeps playing up and will likely get worse, least you will have your ps4 to play while the exchange is processed.

Just get it sent off bud. Mine did exactly this and found the off at the wall trick worked a couple of times but now it wont even boot. Sent it back today.

I'm in agreement, you shouldn't have to put up with £450 quids worth of console that doesn't work properly.

You're both right of course, just struggling to put Fallout down, how did I miss this when it came out? So good.

It is excellent

Done it, got the advanced exchange. Do they actually take the money from your card or is it just in case you don't return the old one?

Only if you don't return the old one but your available balance should take into account the hold charge.

Anyone know what the turnaround time is for a controller RMA? My One X controller was dodgy out the box, RB was intermittent and the triggers squeaked so I posted it back to Germany on the 15th Jan, it arrived on the 17th and heard nothing since...

@Soulja What was the turnaround time like for getting your X repaired mate?

My first one was 15 days, not bad really.

Mine was similar to Arcanes. Last two times I've done the advanced exchange though.

Well mine arrived in Germany this morning but the more concerning thing is my microsoft account no longer shows any repair tickets. It was showing as repaired and delivered this morning which isnt right. Now MS support just keeps redirecting me to contact a US phone number. I spoke to someone this morning about the wonky tracking and they just assured me they have it.

I've got a bad feeling about this.....

Got the same thing with the controller I returned, was listed as a repair ticket until it arrived then it vanished. I assume it's going to wing it's way back at some point...

I got an email today that they have received it and processed it and no further action is required, they received it about 2 days ago according to UPS tracking.

@Soulja, do you know how long it takes for the pending hold charge to be reversed, on my recent purchases it still has the charge pending, Im hoping this will vanish in the next day or so?

What are all your thoughts so far on the console?

You should receive an email stating they have the console and that your card will not be charged.

Yeah got that today, but still have the hold transaction on my recent purchases in my account that says pending, maybe it takes a little longer for that to disappear.

Soulja · 26 Jan 2018 at 14:42

Yeah it should be gone in a few days, I checked after 4 days or so and it was gone.

Hardware wise and what it does, it's amazing, failure wise, i'd say it's pretty crap.

I'm well chuffed with it though and can't wait to get a 4K TV to go with it.

Failure wise? don't me we have another RRoD fiasco on our hands?

Certainly enough horror stories on here but it seems more a software issue than the hardware itself.
