If you've decided, then why not just preorder one? Local stores like Gamestops, Best Buys, etc are only going to have a limited amount of reserves available so it might be a good idea to jump in early before all the "out of stock" delays come in. I know it still early, (and I'm not trying to start a sys war or anything) but there'll probably be a shortage of systems for quite awhile if some of those unhappy with Microsoft buy PS4's instead.Â
I will pre-order for sure. At $400, coming out at holiday season, and with a decent launch line-up, I think it's possible that they'll sell like hotcakes and there may be a shortage of them.
I've made up my mind and will be getting a PS4. Should I predorder it now or wait and make sure there are no problems with it?

Given the reputation that launch consoles have, it's easy to understand why some people would want to wait!! BUT I say that's the chance you take with all electronic devices..Ipads, Droids, tablets etc!!
I'd wait a month or two to hear feedback from people, I plan on getting one if the majority of people are satisfied with their PS4 and there's no known issues with it.
I'd pre-order one now while you still can. I wouldn't worry yourself over hardware failures. Yes, they can and do happen, but Sony's track record in that department is very reliable.
I've pre-ordered mine online, along with Watch Dogs, Star Wars Battlefront, Kingdom Heats III, Final Fantasy XV, Tom Clancy's The Division, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Destiny, Knack, Thief, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Dragon Age 3 Inquisition, Infamous: Second Son, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, and LEGO Marvel Super Heroes. I doubt they'll all come out at launch (some we know won't), but they are all titles I want, so thought I'd just get it out of the way and order them now, it helps that ShopTo doesn't require you to put a deposit down on anything.
I'm going to wait a bit and see if the hardware holds up. Since they're selling it so cheap, the material they're using could possibly have a high rate of defectiveness. I'm waiting until Destiny comes out before I buy one.
A question like this can only be answered by you. I mean, it's your money, your time & your life. Personally, I am pre-ordering mines tomorrow with some games.
I pre-ordered because I remember the problems getting hot consoles after launch. If Amazon can't deliver day one I could still grab one off the shelf and cancel (assuming there are any on the shelf). Plus, if delivery is delayed, I get that time to reconsider.
Preorder because the technology in the console does not run as hot as the PS3 did, thus it won't have problems like PS3 did. That's why PS4 is the same size as a PS3 Slim.
