Circuitcity Sony PSP

[sapiens74]

A little harder to get in Hawaii. Some games and the PSP sold out the same day.

I love mine, it has 4 dead pixels but no biggie. Don't really notice when playing

I'm thinking about buying one of these in addition to my DS, but I'm not sure it's worth it yet.

I love my DS, no problems, no dead pixels, and I have a few neat games that are innovative and fun. It's a little bit big (having been used to my SP), but then again, the PSP is bigger still.

Can somebody explain to me:

a) how bad is the dead pixel problem on the PSP?

b) what is the value proposition of this handheld? It seems like all it will have in terms of library is rehashed games that can be found on any of my consoles. I'm not sure I want to rebuy a copy of a game I already own, that I've probably already beaten. Will there be a lot of games that are good enough that I would have to buy this handheld to play anything like it? Why is there so much hype around the PSP, do people know something I don't?

not hot at all

cold at best.

lol.
Sony pwned itself-

WOOT!

On ebay all the PSPs are selling for the same price that the DS's sold for the first week-

how do I know?
I sold 10 of em. sold 10, and got mine free.

When I thought about egaying the PSP, something told me it would be DOA.
and -TADAA!
haha.

go sony-
go dead pixels!
go stuck button!
and go fake analog!
i could go on... lol. :thumbsdown:

The PSP is sold out at our local super walmart in Titusville, FL. However, I think there are a few places around that still have them in stock here, though. I think the price is preventing a sellout.

Maybe you should go look for some non-retail Hooked on Phonics for yourself. I think that would be pretty hot!!!!!!

Thats awesome....The funny is present.

I love my PSP. No dead pixel and Wipeout Pure rules ! The best Wipeout since Wipeout XL . A Killer App.
I like all the stuff you can do with it.
Yep, it's pricey. Though if you got the money, it's worth it.

 

[BubbleSparkxx]

pfffft - MSRP on something that is locally available due to overstock/low demand is most def not hot.

 

[hytek369]

not really hot

I don't see this "selling out" happening at all. The store I work at has hundreds.

Paying retail seems alien to me too.

Especially considering that it will drop by at least $50 by Christmas

You can use Wipeout now to browse the web. Ain't great, but it is possible.

Thanks.

i really want to nab one now but knowing sony, they'll have their own issues with the first generation batch. already, there's dead pixels, stuck buttons and reports of flying discs. i haven't visited my local best buy yet so i don't know how it's selling in the nyc area but i know there were tons of people waiting on line wednesday night/thursday morning to nab one.

My costco didn't have them in Culver City i would have bought it.

Yeah good luck driving back to Best Buy and getting your money back or a replacement same day.....lol Unless you paid for that god awful expensive warranty they offer and even then they tell you that they have to send it back to sony and youshould get a new one in about 2 weeks........yeah Best Buy is for me to poop on.

Um BBY has a 30 day (or 14 day on some items) return policy if you've got a reciept. As long as you bring back everything and it hasent been abused. Doesnt even have to be defective. Exceptions are notebooks and digital camera/camcorders which are 14days and 15% restocking fee if not defective.

Dude I understand their policy, but they give you a load of crap before they honor it.

Last Thrusday I went to Costco they have at least 40 of them sitting around. I advise whoever going to get a PSP buy it from Costco. Due to the chance of getting dead pixels on the screen. Gamestop and EBGames don't let you return or exchange for dead pixels.
