Great. Anyone else having PSP problems already? (got dead pixels?)

[quote name='mmercer131']Most of you sound like nit picky old women. Quit bitching, pick up this amazing piece of technology and have some fun with it. I understand if you have A LOT of dead pixels BUT all lcd screens have some.[/quote]

There's far too many people that make comments like this. That's why Sony continues to have launches like the one they're currently in the middle of. Sony doesn't care because too many customers don't care either...I don't think that is good for all gamers.

It is an incredible peice of hardware, but if you're spending $250 on a handheld, most people would tend to expect a little higher quality. As I've said...they have work to do before I purchase a PSP.
 
I've got one stuck pixel, and it's about as perfectly center as you can get on the screen. I notice it most on dark screens, but once there's bright colors or motion it's barely visible.

I highly doubt I'm going to exchange the PSP, I could get one that's in much worse shape.
 
[quote name='mmercer131']I understand if you have A LOT of dead pixels BUT all lcd screens have some.[/quote]

It is inherant that LCD screens will have a percentage of dead/stuck pixels. From a batch of LCD monitors manufactured, it's almost definite that a trivially small number of the monitors will have a defect (trivial being 2 or less out of 100). However, if the amount of CAGs is any indication as to how the rest of the nation is right now, which is should be since there's CAGs from all over the US talking in this thread alone, then it would be more than fair to assume that a non-trivial number of PSPs were shipped defective, which is unacceptable. I assume, however, that the number of faulty machines per batch produced will reduce to a trivial number by this holiday season (when, hopefully, the PSP will be sold by itself instead of in the shitty bundle).
 
Mine has 2 dead pixels but they are in the top left corner of the screen and out of the way. I would complain except I got it for free by raping Gamerush's trade deals a few months back.

Free is free.
 
God....this is just flat out discouraging.

I have the worst time fighting with my good sense and waiting for some revisions. Everytime I even think about buying one, the Target by my house still has like 50 in stock, this immense thread kicks me straight in the ball-sack.

I want to get one soo bad, but they've had months to work this nonsense out....goddam it.
 
Since mine only has one dead pixel, and there is a little dent in the screen, do you all think I should still go exchange it? It is mildy annoying but...I dont know.

Dude, you paid $250 for this thing. Hell yes you should......I would anyway.
 
Honestly this whole topic is blown WAY out of perportion. I'm far to busy enjoying my PSP then to worry about 1 dead pixel.

Yes it's Sony's fault, but it's just as much yours for trusting them :p You knew the risks.

All you need to do is ask yourself one question; Can I live with it? If you can sit back and enjoy, if not go exchange it.
 
[quote name='mmercer131']Even if you have a few dead pixels, which should be expected, you REALLY HAVE TO LOOK!!!! And there's no way it affects a game like Ridge Racer at all![/quote]

Right. But people are using the PSP for more than just playing games like Ridge Racer, remember. They are also using it to watch videos with. I don't mind the dead pixels much when I'm playing a game, but they are much more obvious while I'm watching a movie and they are annoying as hell too. That's why I returned 2 PSP's already.
 
I noticed some dot on the screen but they are actually on the surface of the shell not the actual screen directly.

However, I went exchange mine and opened three boxes and all of them have some inperfection on it and I just picked the best one.

Don't know if I can live with it yet but very disappointing.
 
Look at this way, some people might be so upset (or too ignorant or ambarassed to bring it back) they would eBay their PSP. Imagine how much less you can pick up a PSP with 1 or 2 pixel problems. I would guess pretty cheap.

Agreed.
 
Ok, I'm going to go exchange mine. Just a quick question to those that have already exchanged.

I bought mine from Gamestop, does anyone know If they take everything back (even teh memory stick) or if they just exchange the psp's?

Sad thing is after talking with my girlfriend, she hinted that she might be picking one for me for my 30th birthday next week. I would hate for her to think that she was getting me something so great and have it turn out to be incredibly underwhelming and annoying.

On a side note, any girlfriend that would spend 250 bones on videogame stuff for her man is a gift sent from god all by herself :D

Man, I couldn't agree with you more. I understand that there will be some that need to be returned but some of you have the damn magnifying glass out. You wonder why systems cost so much it's because some of you return 2 or 3 because they are not perfect.

No, they've launched 3 platforms, 3 times each for the different regions, Japan, USA, and Europe.

At best they're 0 for 3. In reality they're 0 for 9. I'm not here to rag on the PSP though, Sony will fix these problems eventually. Just give it some time.

[quote name='mmercer131']You wonder why systems cost so much it's because some of you return 2 or 3 because they are not perfect.[/quote]
If I'm paying $250-$300 for a new system, it damn well better be perfect. Would you be happy with a dented new car? Or a TV with areas that didn't work?. With the small screens that are on handhelds, even a single dead pixel can be devastating if its in the middle of the screen. But given Sony's reputation, its much wiser to wait a while.
 
I'm talking U.S. launches. I understand to a point, but some of you are ridiculous. All I'm saying is everyone bitched about the price, which I don't think was too bad considering all it does, but no one seems to think about why it's that high. Sony is in this to make money. I mean why buy something you know you're going to bitch about. Don't buy it, let alone stand there and look at 5 or 6. Hell no I'm not going to buy a "new" dented car. That's my point, don't buy it. NOTHING is perfect.

Serously, $250 is a lot and you should get what you payed for, not a "defective" system or a system with dead pixels. I have to earn my money, therefore when I use it I dont want to be given a product with something wrong with it.

I know you meant US launches, but launch problems like this happen regardless of region. People are upset about the price because its cheaper in Japan, and because a $250 handheld is unprecedented. I'm not particularly upset about the price myself, but it does seem a bit high for me.

If you've got dead pixels, and you can return the system without a problem, thats fine. Slight inconvienance, but you end up fine in the end. But if they don't accept them (they don't in Japan), then there are some serious issues. There are higher standards for quality in expensive electronics such as this.

ALL LCD screens have them? Wow, I must be the luckiest person in the world because NONE of my lcd products have dead pixels. Obviously I am the one exception and you are right that EVERY lcd screen has dead pixels. Obviously.
 
My DS came with two stuck pixels, one on each screen. Nintendo FedExed me a replacement! I'm having a friend ship a PSP to me, he reports no pixel problems.

With the exception of the PSX, Sony has released all of their consoles over here.

The point is not the people who bought it, foolio. The PSPs that people own at the moment were going to be purchased by *someone* at some point in time (it's not the Jaguar, you know). Those PSPs are going to have defective screens whether you or I buy it. Why are you getting snarky with people, when the system is what has the problem?

I thank you for your allegiance to Sony, but you're not going to get any free games out of this. Why have such hostility to people who spent $250 to find out their console is defective? What purpose does it serve you to encourage people to ignore a defect that has been found in a significant percentage of systems?

Look at it this way. This morning, CNN (and possibly others) reported that a consumer found a human finger in their cup of chili while eating at Wendy's restaraunt. How many cups of chili have been served by them without fingers? Likely a larger percent than there are DP/SP-free PSP consoles. Is finding a finger in your meal more disgusting? Undoubtedly. However, given the small room for error in the fast food industry, why would you encourage people to expect less for a $250 piece of electronics than you would a $1 cup of chili? Would you tell the person to enjoy their chili and shut the fuck up? I'd be fascinated to hear that rationalization.

myke.

That's the thing that's really chapping my ass about this whole dead pixel business... Sony doesn't consider it a problem.

It would be one thing if they said "Yeah sorry about that. Come back and we'll get you a new one", but they're saying "Yeah, so what? Deal with it"

So the issue here is not getting Sony to fix the problem, but getting them to acknowledge that this is a problem in the first place.
 
My import GBA SP came with 2 stuck pixels but I got over it.

They didn't except them in japan at launch because they certainly didn't have the stock to replace a huge amount of units. They're producing units at a higer rate now so maybe they'll change their position once they see stores returning like 15-25% of the stuff they sent out maked as defective

As for them being 0 for 3 in launches the original PS launch was fine, they didnt really have skipping issues develop untill later in the systems life, like 2 years. Sure the Launch games looked like ass by todays standards but they DID have a few to choose from.

Are you serious? The original PS1 had massive problems at launch. That was by far their worst launch, PS2 had more down the road problems than it did immediate ones, though there were some.
 
so we, gamestop, got a call from our dm around 5 pm, and they said no more dead pixel returns because sony isnt going to give any money to the company, so the ones we did return earlier we lost out on 250, i dont know if this is all gamestops, or just our region
 
It would have helped if you named those problems. Personally I still have my first gen PS and it still works, all be it upside down but it didnt develop that for 3 years of hard use, I dont remember there being as big a stink over faulty systems when it came out, yeah maybe a couple of people said they had to return it for one reason or another but strangly enough the thing still managed to come out in first place.

The big issue though seems to be people talking about Sony's additude towards the DPs. and I have to assume they feel as long as it dosent impact the system functioning as intended it's not seriously damaged. Yes if you have 30 pixels dead in the middle of your screen this is signifigantly impacting the normal use If the majority of units had THIS particular issue it would nessecitate a full scale recall but they dont. 5 pixels in the corner? 7 around the edges with 3 in the center? Not a signifigant impact. Annoying yes but you can still play it.

If you couldn't return them with this problem it'd be bad. This is a retailer issue. They are taking them for the most part so that's good. If at some point they stop the stores will probably demand something be done because it impacts their sales too (too many fault units causes sales to drop even without a return policy).

I don't have a problem with it as long as they're accepting returns for dead pixels.

The first PS1's have major overheating problems, the power supply runs hot and is close to the laser, plus they used cheap plastic in the drive that wears out. There are later revisions of the 100x series that aren't as bad, but the problem is limited only to the 100x series.

Also, I don't care if I can still play it. I expect more from a $250 piece of electronics. Dead pixels = defective. If they accept returns for this, again, no problem. But its not nothing.
 
If you expect mroe tell them that. From their perspective that fact that it's still usable is enough. 4 or 5 Dead pixels = expected side effect of LCD screens.

Yes the early PS1 had over heating but it didnt effect the game play untill it damaged the laser track for me that didn't happen for 3 years. Yes it still sucks but untill it because an unavoidable problem nothing was done, it's likely the same will happen in this case.
 
U really only notice deed pixels when the screen is black. In my store we had one come back today that had 13 dead pixels. Now, 13 thats excessive i dont blame him. But to its credit, and he said

"I couldn't notice them if the screen wasn't black. Everytime the screen went black i could BARELY see them. But its like anything once you notice they're there they're there, u know what i mean?"

I glady exchanged his system for him and loaded it up and put in my lumnies so he could see the load screen black and there was no dead pixels that we could see. Also the pixels on this LCD are extremely small compared to other LCD's b/c of the problem of dead pixels. Dead pixels are unfortunately common, i sold $20,000 t.v's for 3 years at Tweeter/Hi-fi buys/soundadvice (all the same company) and i saw my fair share of dead pixels. I remember unpacking a brand new Samsung (no dead pixel policy samsung) LCD and i found TWO TINY tiny dead pixels. I asked 3 customers and 3 employee's to tell me where they were when the TV was on a channel and not on a blank screen. Not one could. Now i challenge you, Turn on ur psp if you know you have a dead pixel and play a game, and let me know if you can find a dead pixel. Honestly i would be amazed. I'm just really surprised how many people are ragging on the dead pixel issue. Although it seems as if the people who are raggin on it dont even have one and are just looking for excuses for why they dont like it. I.E Scorch (who i thought was a cool tool fan but IMO u really make urself out to be an asshat like that guy said you were).

I.E if you guys have dust underneath your screen it sucks but it happens we live in a dirty air world and while they are assembled in a room where its supposed to be dust free nothing is perfect. If your interested in Undusting the bottom of your screen There is a screw right below the PSP symbol on your system. If you unscrew that the cover comes off very easily and i took a can of DUST OFF and blew out the dust and screwed it back on and i was fine.

Good luck guys

I'll start a thread with number for sony support if need be when i get them on Monday from my brother. They will be replacing systems if need be. Also sony will be replacing dead pixel problems if u have more than 2 according to my brother also. I'll keep you informed sorry for long post.
 
I'm not regretting the purchase...didn't notice any problems till the credits for spidey 2 came up, then, lo and behold, something wouldn't wipe off on the right side of the screen right around the square button...it's *teeny*, I can't even decide whether it would be considered a string of stuck pixels or dust. in fact, i suspected it could be something under the screen protector which i stuck on there pretty much right away (too much money to scratch it yet) after debating if i could live with not knowing for sure i decided to pull up the screen protector some only to see that it was a teeny line of dust/stuck pixels but now i had a bubble where pulled the screen protector up =P

Still debating possibly protecting it with a prp (GS warranty), I've got seven days to decide. On one hand, there are times when I can't seem to keep my eyes from drifting to it watching non-full screen videos that I've downloaded onto her already, on the other hand, what we're talking about here is smaller then the width of a hair...

I did overhear a call this morning along the lines of
"where's the analog stick?"
"it's there it's that thing that looks like a speaker"
"all i have is a square, is the stick in here and i have to put it on?"
he came in and it was exchanged, np, the analog stick literally wasn't there. ^^;

Like I said, I'm still debating a warranty, but at this point I'm simply enjoying it too much, this is like a tiny thing, this dust/stuck pixels thing. my thumb after darkstalkers was more of a pain, lol~ and not in a completely bad way. can't wait to pick up untold legends tomorrow...by then I'll know what to expect as far as exhanges go. But I'm in no rush, I'm busy rocking out to that unexpected C&C video. ^_^

While I'm cool with it, I will have to admit that dead pixels and especially dust seems like problems we shouldn't have by now, right? i mean. make them where there is no dust, no ones figured out how to do this in how many years of manufacturing lcd screens?...I'll blame sony for allowing them to pass inspection, but I blame thoughtless manufactuerers of LCD screens for not figureing this one out before the lcd screen becomes obsolete.

haha, that's exactly how I felt about noticing them and then 'seeing' them.

thanks for the informative post, btw. I'm a bit in the group that I can see why someone needs to return their PSP that was shipped with no analog stick Way before I would need to worry about my 5-6 stuck pixels hiding in the corner.

You can bet they aren't going to take them back. Not when their manual even makes mention that a few are "normal." ... Right. Otherwise Sony (and its retailers) would be stuck with truckloads of returns. Ain't gonna happen ... don't buy or get over it.

No contradiction. Great (but pixel-imperfect) gaming machine. But good for little else. All the add-ons (MP3, Movies) but a gimmick cause they're all running off the same little Sony memory stick, which is way, way too small to be of any use. No threat to iPods, and after the "wow" factor of the new portable fades, no one will buy the movies ... not when they can simply watch (and rent them) and view on a 36-inch HDTV.
