Is the PS4 worth it?

I recently purchased a ps4 and wanted to share my feelings about its "worth" to everyone. I purchased the 499$ bundle which came with Battlefield 4 and a years worth of PSN+, I luckily snagged an order the launch day on amazon so I was only a few days behind the rest of people. After getting it surprisingly fast (ordered friday got to my house on monday), I plugged it in and booted it up. What came next was interesting, a decent amount of people had hdmi issues, or they had other issues including getting a console dead on arrival. My console during setup had some issues, at least with the hdmi cable that it came with it, I had a slight heart attack as my signal went from clear to fuzz to clear again. I switched the provided cable with my wii-u's gray cable and it works perfectly! I have had only a single freeze in my whole playing experience which beats my ps3, and so far no overheating or other issues.

Now should you get it?
If the fear of something going wrong with the launch editions gets you scared wait a while to get one, and here are a few other reasons why you should wait.

-Not that many games are out yet,
-Games out now have bugs and glitches that can make it unplayable sometimes (Conquest in BF4 was not an option for a few days),
-Risk of getting a defective console might be a bit higher,
-Not many psn+ perks atm,
- And most games are released on both older and next gen systems so its worth waiting a bit, trust me. I know there is a lot of hype over "new" and "shiny" but in reality, in my opinion wait till after the holiday season, and first quarter next year when there will be many more games out, and price cuts on current titles snatch one up!


TLDR, Wait until early next year to get one when more issues are ironed out and more games are released.
