[QUOTE="brakel, post: 116006, member: 416"] Foxconn is the same manufacturing plant that has done many iPhone models plus many other consumer electronics. While China really does need to do more to protect manufacturing employees, Foxconn is one of the better ones just because they get so much international media coverage. It seems hard to believe that there could have been a widespread internal sabotage. It's not like people working on them are in some little room or cubicle. They're in a large open assembly line where other employees and supervisors could easily see what they were doing. They also test units before they leave the line. If they started to have units fail they would have tracked down the problem. What I think we're seeing is just a normal number of sample defects that happens in a new product roll out. Today's electronics are put through design, engineering and manufacturing very quickly. Gone are the days of Zenith TVs built in the 1960s and lasting for 20 years of being watched every day. I think I'll buy the PS4 36 month extended warranty that Sony is offering for $60! :D [/QUOTE]
