Well, I have been waiting for the PSP's price to drop, and just recently, Sony has dropped the price down to $200.00 for the Core. :bouncy:
I have done an enormous amount of research on the internet, and I have also decided that I would like to run homebrewed programs on the PSP despite the risk of bricking the PSP. However, I have been told by many that the warranty policies of both Compusa and Best Buy are terrible. In fact, my friend, whose PSP went black while running a homebrewed program, is now out $250 simply because Best Buy would not accept an exchange.
I have been told that Toys R Us, Wal-Mart, and Ebgames/Gamestop have excellent warranty polices. However, my main concern is whether or not the warranty of these stores (I’ll most likely get it from Gamestop) will cover a bricked PSP. Of course I won’t say bricked when I return it, I will simply say that it just stopped working. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated, because I have been told that Sony will not repair PSPs that have been bricked by homebrewed programs, for the PSP is “not intended for such use.” :roll: In addition to that, I don’t want to have to pay for shipping and then wait anywhere from 4-6 weeks!!!
. . . Sorry for the long read, I just want some reassurance I guess :lol:
