Busted PSP

I bought my son a PSP for his birthday back in April. He got in trouble with my wife and she threw it.

So now the PSP looks fine, but locks up whenever a memory stick is inserted. It does play movies just fine though.

Real suggestions? (No, I'm not giving it away...)

trade it in at an unsuspecting eb or gamestop.:evil:
 
I'm sure Wal-Mart would do a trade with it, but I have never had the ethics of some people I know to do such a thing.

Only thing I can think of, if you didn't get a service plan, is to just call up Sony and get it repaired.

That's what I'm thinking. I still have the manual with their number. But has anybody sent them one before? Cost?

I'm sure they can give you a quote or at least an estimate...though I'm sure they'll say it costs $40 for repair, bill you $130 because of something that is special.

Little intricate gadgets, like the PSP, should never be bought without an extended reseller warranty!
 
i think sony will be nice enough to cover it under the warranty. if the throw was so bad you'd expect the screen or something to crack? but SD slot?
 
I would put it on Ebay (mentioning the defect of course) and buy another one. Dealing with Sony is a nightmare and takes forever.
 
get your wife some anger managment classes... I think that's the last thing she needs to be throwing

Walmart receipts contain serial numbers of all consoles they sell. Before returning they will make sure that S/N's match.

My mom has destroyed my brother's XBox and before that the DSL modem. He deserved it though, since he gets terrible grades in school(i.e. very lazy).

Sometimes it takes a little "shock and awe" to remind the kids what they should be focusing on. 🙂
 
Wow, the most expensive thing I ever threw was a $40 cordless phone... and luckly it still worked... after I put it back together. 😛
