Hehe, my PS2 is still performing as it should and it's the first model they released in Europe.
I'll buy a PSP when the price has dropped a bit. -

- Now that they have admitted this, does this mean that these issues will be taken care of by March 24th or will we have to have our PSP's fixed shortly after launch?

- Wow...first it was "designed" that way and Sony told customers to suck it up and deal with it...
Now they're changing their story and saying that it's a "fixable flaw?"
Man alive, it never gets old seeing Sony do things like this....wait. Yes it does. -

- Life isn't fair. The reason Sony changed their story is because consumers actually DID SOMETHING, not sit and complain like the rest of you.

Complaining is what consumers actually did so Sony would make a move about those problems.QUOTE Life isn't fair. The reason Sony changed their story is because consumers actually DID SOMETHING, not sit and complain like the rest of you.

QUOTE Life isn't fair. The reason Sony changed their story is because consumers actually DID SOMETHING, not sit and complain like the rest of you.
And what exactly did these consumers DO instead of complaining? Did they redesign the PSP for Sony? Find some kind of workaround on their own? No, no, I'm pretty sure they just complained...

Following complaints by consumers in Japan, Sony Computer Entertainment officially announced that it will repair any PSP suffering from a defective square button. According to reports, a manufacturing defect caused some units' square buttons to stick when pressed and not pop back up. Sony released a statement that said the problem affected only about 0.6 percent of the 510,000 PSPs that were shipped during 2004.
