If there is a sign that a console is the improvement of its previous generation, it would have to be the fact that some problem areas have been resolved.

And this is what happened with PS4, coming out fresh from its FCC registration with an approval.

NowGamer reports that the PS4 has already resolved this major issue of the PS3, dubbed to be the Yellow Light of Death, thanks to lower power consumption for cooler temperatures during use.

According to the report, an approval from the FCC means that it is an electronic device that can be sold around America. In addition, some details for the approval have been leaked, such as the 5-35 degrees Celsius that the PS4 will run on, way below the current-gen's 45-55.

This eliminates the possibility of overheating, which can pack some significant damage to the console.

There is also a report of the maximum clock frequency to be at 2.75 GHz and more than half the weight reduction from the original PS3 at 2.8 kg (though a bit heavier than the latest model, which is at 2.1 kg).

User Interface for the PS4 revealed

Along with FCC approval comes some images of the user interface for the PS4, and they are officially released by Sony.

PlayStation Lifestyle has the complete gallery of photos with the UI for the console, smartphones, and messaging systems, as well as snapshots of the PS4, DualShock 4, and the PlayStation Eye--basically most of the ingredients that you would want to be playing with when your order ships this holiday.

For the meantime, check out the trailer video that Sony presented after its E3 conference showcasing the UI of the PS4.

Check out these ridiculous PS4 prices

The preorder craze for the PS4 were obvious from the beginning--apart from being dubbed as the supposed "gamers' choice of console" to showcasing many features that Microsoft is just starting to mention for its Xbox One, the PS4 is one of the got-to-have techs coming out later this year.

But the craze should only go so much, especially with the PS4 touting its lower price of $399, compared to the Xbox One's $499. Yet there are many people who may have loaded on their preorders just so they can sell the console at a higher price.

A bevy of ridiculously priced PS4 bundles have appeared on eBay, with some of the lowest prices veering at $850, as per Gadget-Rumours, technically double the actual selling price from Sony.

There is also a report, snapped with a photo, wherein the PS4 preordered console will be selling at $9,999 and a free overnight shipping. But the more incredible part of the report reveals that the console was sold.

According to Hot Hardware, the listing also comes with a story behind it, wherein the dealer from Jacksonville, Florida has a pregnant wife, and that they are both in need of financial help--as well as donating a large percent to Make a Wish Foundation.

Obviously, there's no way to see if this is a legitimate story or not. Even the purchase cannot be verified if the transaction is real. But this is not the highest price that the PS4 was placed as a preorder.

Gamezone reports a whopping $20,000 price tag for a PS4 launch day bundle, and one that has a story of its own.

Aside from boasting a seemingly charitable 50% donation to a "qualified tax-exempt organization" for "much needed funds especial in these tough economic times," it also states in the listing that what he offers is a sold-out PS4 bundle that will also have "an extremely nice tax write off that will save you money at the end of the year."

This trend has always been a display of capitalism in terms of those who can and would. And padding prices for much-awaited items and selling them to those who just can't wait for these devices has been a practice ever since sites like eBay have allowed buying and selling in this manner to be more or less "official."

But sometimes, there has to be a limit to not only how much people are willing to pad for profit, but also for how much people would pay to be first-to-have.
