Boycotting Sony...

[gamer2]

Especially the PSP.

It is a faulty gaming console, the system is over priced, its clunky and it breaks Memory Cards.

Recently My original PSP memory card broke, figured that I left it in the system while charging too long because it was fried majorly. yesterday I go to the local game crazy, and picked up a new card for $34, 1 GB not soo shabby, its nice and green. I go and put stuff on it just now and BOOM it breaks, fried the same way. This is too many times in One 30 day period to be a coincidence. This shows that the PSP console is breaking these and that the PSP is faulty.

Boycotting sony is a logical choice. Dont buy the PSP. Spread the word.

I have pics as soon as my roommate finds his cable for the digital camera.

Boycotting sony is a logical choice.

No, it's a trigger-happy "let's jump to conclusions and place blame" choice.

How many other unique occurrences of this issue have you found? Have you done any more research into this problem? Maybe it's just your particular unit. Maybe something happened to it somewhere between leaving the factory and when the card bit the dust. There's nothing shorting anything out inside the unit, is there? How old is it?

I bet a JPEG of a Monopoly dollar that your PSP broke or was damaged somewhere along the line.

And need I remind you that nobody made you buy, use, or invest more money the PSP in the first place.

Besides, that's like me saying "My Walkman ate my Weird Al tape! BOYCOTT!"
I know the monetary values aren't the same, but when you consider this was in sixth grade when $20 is a lot of money... The basic concept is the same.

I cannot find anything about this, it may have been a rare occurrence. But crap when you are strapped for cash like I am, you get a bit "t-o"ed about $60.

Of course he fixed it because his wasn't fried.

I'm going to slowly back away from this thread before it catches on fire.

But like I said, you can't blame Sony for this, they didn't drag you to Circuit City and force you to buy another memory stick.

If that image is of your stick, it almost looks like the chip overheated and burnt out. Could be a short.

Most likely its a short on the PSP Mobo, but I removed the green one when I wasn't doing anything with it.

Hardware defects happen, and unfortunately the company is not going to be able to catch them all. I had a processor die on my PowerMac G5. Does that mean I automatically hate Apple and think their products should be boycotted? No. It's a manufacturing defect that one in a few hundred or thousand people experience. So just because your PSP has a defect does not mean Sony sucks. If it's still under warranty, get it fixed. If not, move on with your life and stop whining.

[gamer2]

Well I was mad last night. I literally wasted $60 on memory cards for this sucker. I'm ok now. I still need to track down my receipt to get the warranty number.

I think everyone is missing the point that sony is an evil corporation who has always made things that break. And lets not forget rootkit.

I think we should boycott sony anyways.

Right, like everything every other company has ever made is completely indestructible. By your logic, you should boycott every company.

EDIT:

a guy at work recently bought a psp, when he showed me i just shook my head and showed him the good ol' gp2x.

And then he shook his head and showed you WiFi and hardware accelerated 3D rendering?

Are you being satirical or serious?

Let's live out in the forests with our creature friends and start camp fires and sing songs.

Then work our asses off to make a decent living, like building a house and find sources of food and water.

Electricity? BAH! It comes from those evil companies, and I'm pretty sure a few house fires have been started by electricity!

And those plumbing companies... People have drowned. It must be the companies fault.

[Negative_Creep]

Lets boycott the company who makes possibly the best consoles since 1994.

Sorry, not a good idea. Sony have never gave me any trouble.
