PSP Low Sales

In the end Sony is responsible for the screens, even if they are made by Sharp.

Anyway, bashing Sony won't help them improving the quality of their products. If you have a system with the problem call them and if they not fix it for free, sue them.

From what i understand, you can sue anyone in america, for practicaly everthying. Go ensure your rights.

 

mmm the screen is a piece of shit lots of ghosting , even in movies like spiderman xD man... hope they change screen soon

 

Higher quality screens than the DS? Than why are so many US PSPs fuxxored? Seriously.

The problem here is, many retail chains will not let you indefinately return your PSP, or at all, for dead pixels. Nor will Sony repair the dead pixels.

I will be waiting until Sony gets their act together and fixes the problems with launch hardware.

 

I wasnt really pointing out what screens sony uses, just that they plaster their name on it. I dont care if my lcd monitor was made by monkeys...as long as it's perfectly fine I dont care, but I didnt pay anywhere near $1000 for it..lol

I'm not fanboying over the psp, I've said numerous times I want one...

 

Does anyone read what I say?! I already said:

Sure you could take them to court, but you won't have a chance in hell of winning! There's NOTHING you can do about this.

I think this is all being blown out of proportion. The few people who did get PSPs with dead pixels are just making too much of a fuss.

 

I read somewhere (Gamespot i think) that Sony will fix the problem of the screens for you, even if it's not mentioned on the documentation.

 

It's the other way round, only a few people are getting them without dead pixels and those that do probably had to exchange theirs several times or was very lucky

 

Guys, the latest Japanese ones have no dead pixels but get this, they have crap under the screen !! I had to take back 3 and what a bloody struggle it was to get them changed. I was told to send them to Sony which I replied with a swift F*ck that ! After 30 minutes (YES 30 minutes) of Japanese polite arguing I got them changed. The problem was that between the screen and the plastic that goes over it there were 5 to 8 specs of dust. Now I know that's no big deal but these bits of dust were easy enough to see when the screen was bright. Paying a lot of money for a machine with dust behind the screen is beyond a joke.

This probably happened because of the rush to get more units made quickly. They are probably thrown together in make shift factories that don't have as high standards as the main factories.

I'm not making this shit up either. It's 100% true. Maybe there are people blowing the dead pixels problem out of proportion a bit but I know that the quality control and after service on the PSP are far beyond perfect and this will affect Sony in a big way. Time to pull you finger out of your arse Sony and sort out your problems before you go the way of Sega. (not that they will go the way of Sega but you know what I'm getting at).

Sony is making themselves look really bad with the trade policy on screens..they sell the things they should take back the defective screens.

I'm betting that's going to be a problem for them when they launch the PSP in europe.because european consumer laws dictate that the manufacturer is obliged to replace faulty tft screen products if the costumer wants it withing the warrenty period.

I wonder why there are so many defective PSP screens.. on a big dutch forum they had a poll on how many people had defective screens the scores were:

USA bought PSP's 21 total..14 defective screen
JAP bought PSP's 28 total 13 defective screens

that between 50-75% of PSP's has defective screens (pixels not working cracked screen etc)

That's a ludicris ammount which ever way you look at it.

 

Oh they will if they lose the Playstations power...

 

My friend has imported a new psp too. No less then 4 bad pixels, they're close to each other on the bottom left portion of the screen. He's really mad about it.

He should've listened to me and waited till European launch.

 

Or he should have bought it from my because I check every one I send out for dead pixels. :happyhap:

All this about dead pixels etc is making me want one less + less + less

First off the Hi Price tag for a console which for me would be used mainly for games as phones/pda etc can be used for music/films etc.......disks ejecting.

DS`s problems.................hardly heard of any....perhaps for handhelds that static medium`s ie carts/sd cards etc are better and more reliable than disks etc. Which would then keep costs down for production which could be balanced out against better QC on items such as debatable screens.

I am a HUGE Nintendo fanboy and am not a Sony gaming fan....but don`t really knock them as they have such a strangle hold but from what I read they are starting to creep over the top of that very slippy slope!

 

Funny how people here were like "OMG TEH DS HAS LIKE 1 BAD PIXELZ !!!!11!" and now are trying to defend Sony for putting out a defective product. "OMG LIKE EVERY LCD PRODUCT HAS THIS PROBLEM!1111"

Every LCD product I've owned EVER has had no dead pixels. Not my LAUNCH DS, not my LAUNCH GBA, not even the first production run of the Dell 17 inch LCD TV we own.

 

***LOL*** so you know that dell run those screens from the first production run and they werent from someone else making them for years...

Man give up with this LCDS dont have dead pixels crap...

 

I'm not trying to defend Sony, I'm just saying it's how they're trying to keep costs down by allowing screens with a certain amount of dead pixels to be sold.

I was trying to say how it does say in the documentation that comes with the PSP that there's a chance that there may be dead pixels, therefore a PSP with some would still be as described and not "faulty" by the standards they have set. They may give replacements, but they don't *have* to by any means. It's perfectly legal - it's like trying to complain about how your wine glasses aren't perfectly spherical or something stupid like that.

This still sucks though. I don't know what Sony are up to. Surely all the returns they'll be getting as a product of their shitty screens is gonna outweigh the money they're trying to save by their high threshold for dead pixels. And I know Sharp or whoever are making the screens, but it's still Sony telling how to make them and how much to make them for. It's not Sharp that are being shit - it's Sony being cheap!

 

I never said NO LCDs have dead pixels. Read carefully. I said, in essence, that it isn't that common of a problem. ESPECIALLY not in 4 inch screens.

 

So it isnt that common of a problem because you havent noticed one?

 

errr?? i dont know about you.... but my ds screen didnt have ghosting all over the bitch, my psp does

 

I don't know about YOU, but I'd be ready to kill anyone I found ghosting over the bitch. That's just not right! Who do these peope think they are, anyways?
