Got my PS4 back from Sony yesterday. Went and traded it in to Gamestop for $397.50 and got a brand new one. For $285 I have a brand new PS4, not a bad deal at all.
Sounds very similar to the issue my replacement at launch had except mine would never turn on if in standby or completely off for more then a few hours, I would have to turn it on two or three times. If I turned it off or put it in standby for like an hour it would startup no problem. I got it...
I will also be taking the gamble and sending it in. I asked repeatedly. while getting the service claim completed. and they said even though I bought it used they would fix it since all systems automatically get a year warranty.
I'm not trading in a defective console and I know what it feels like as I received a defective unit on launch day. I will be trading in the replacement I get from Sony as long as I receive it in time and there are new PS4's in stock there. I will be doing it for the peace of mind of having a...

How much was Gamestop giving if you traded it in towards a PS4?
It wasn't totally unexpected with the weirdness of the deal to begin with. I'm not upset at all and know that at worst I'll have to drop it off at ups to return for a full refund.
I will probably contact Amazon to get a possible replacement (not likely I know) or contact Sony and see if they will repair it. I have a working one already that I got at launch and this was for my brother to use for The Show. I would rather not trade it in to Gamestop since I hate shopping...
Received my PS4 today and it is defective. Opened the box and the seal was broken so it was definitely used. Hooked it up and turned it on and it booted into safe mode (not sure if normal or not). It then started up and asked for language and then found the Wifi and asked for the password. ...
