I had a day one PS4 edition from Amazon, who suffered from the controller stick sickness. Got the whole bundle exchanged pretty easily without much effort or waiting time.
The problem is, that I activated my old console as primary PS4 in my PSN account and it seems that I cant change this setting unless being online throught said activated PS4. Major features such as cloud savings and what not are bound to this "primary PS4 setting"-BS and I didnt find a solution to this problem yet. Any hint?
