PSP defects

[SketchMaster]

It looks like Sony didn?t get all the bugs worked out of their new system.

Issues

Response

This really doesn?t surprise me, Sony?s systems have always had major issues. I work at a game store and I can tell you that the majority of systems we have returned or are asked if we can fix are PS2s.

Now I would like to point out that I am NOT a ?Fan boy? every sys has is Pros/Cons, I?m just saying that Sony should come down from their tower and say ?ya, we F?ed up agen. Sorry.? Not ?It isn't broken, your just not using it right!?

If sony can fix the problems with the PSP befor it makes it stateside then sweet. If not, I'll be one of the first to know.

And now for a amusing link on the PSP.

Of course not. At least in that case the gate is still usable!!

That's too bad, I liked the cosmetic look and feel of it. It's a shame when form follows function.

I hope sony fixes most of the problems before the usa release...

oh, sony, did admit to some of the PSP problems and offered to fix them it for free...
Free Fix

Thus the streak of every sony system released so far exhibiting defects continues. Their currently 3 for 3, booyah!

did you not see the dates on those articles?

i'm sure sony has looked into these problems before they are to put them on US shelves.

For about two decades my family has often bought sony products, and besides my PS2 dying after two years, none of them have every broken prematurely at all.

Anyway, consoles these days suck in terms of robustness.

I had the opposite problem. All my Sonys including a $2700 36" TV broke early. My PS2 hasn't broken though since I bought it the first day it came out. Its probably because I've used it maybe 6 times total.

i've never had a problem with a sony product aside from a discman. i have had 2 of those die on me. my 27" wega still plays like it did when i bought it 4 years ago, and my ps2 is still fine (and modded) and i purchased it on the release date.

that doesn't mean i know sony isn't overpriced. i would never buy another sony tv again though. my samsung makes me happy enough and is much better than any sony tv out there (well i guess sony doesn't really have a DLP so its not fair to say that ).

Could that possibly be due to the fact that Sony has a overwhelming percentage of the gaming console market as well as being the oldest of the big 3?
Could it?? Could it???

Man I got my PSP last night from Gamestop and there are 3 feaking dead pixels on the screen and one of them is hunge (size of 2 regular dead pixels). I am super disappoint on this for a small LCD screen the PSP have it is unacceptable to have more than 1 dead pixel.

In the manual:
"Red, blue or green spots (bright spots) or black spots (dark spots) may appear in certain locations on the LCD screen. The appearance of such spots is a normal occurrence associated with LCD screens and is not a sign of a malfunction. LCD screens are made using highly precise technology. However, a very small number of dark pixels or continuously lit pixels exist on each screen. Also a distorted image may remain on the screen for several sconds after the system has been turned off."

Now I can't even return the stupid PSP to Gamestop because it is an open system. I mean if I know there is a stupid policy like this I would have wait or not getting one. My Dell 2005FP don't have a dead pixel and my 30" Syntex LCD TV don't have a dead pixel and my 17" Sharp LCD TV don't have a dead pixel. This little PSP have 3......WTF.......

I called Sony tech support and I explain what happen to them and the stupid lady just hang me up......

Is there anyway or anywhere I can file a complain? I can't return the PSP and Sony won't do anything about it. There is no way I can found out in advnace that they have a stupid dead pixel policy until I open the PSP and once the box is open Gamestop refuse to do a refund. This just leave me and customer stuck.......
