    Beautiful piece of kit. Smaller than I was expecting, but you appreciate how deliciously designed it is when you see it in the flesh.

    I'm tempted to rush into things, insert the battery pack and switch on, but I'm going to take it slow.

              You should be within your rights to claim this as a fault. Nintendo set a precedent when they acknowledged this as a fault during their response to many people finding a particle of trapped dust in the screen of their GBA SPs.

              Please refer back to my previous post in this thread (if you can find it in this incredibly long topic) where I posted the full text of Nintendo comment about the matter, for more info. Sony would have to be real bastards to refuse to do the same.

                    Its all about adding cost to the PSP though. Would you have bought the PSP if it came to ?140 + ?95 = ?235 ish plus say ?15 on a case, screen protectors etc = ?250 ? I might have thought otherwise.

                    I'll wait for a price reduction.

                      Try a guy called call j.m.ratkos over at the rllmukforum - he has ordered for loads of people (he lives in the US), including me, and has been v reliable - quicker that VG+ for delivery too it seems!

                      You should see his thread in the Trading forum section.

                          are you going to keep the order or cancel it.. I'd ask for some kind of compensation if you're keeping the order!!

                          its a disgrace how they have handled your order mate!! ft:

                              Memory card slot is a bit fiddly. The Duo with the value pack kept slipping out until I properly inserted it in.

                              Apart from that however... wow. The screen really is as pin-sharp and has the depth people have been talking about.

                              Only had a couple of races on Ridge Racer so far, and taken a look at the sampler. Gretzky/Spiderman 2/Wipeout Pure/rest of the sampler will have to wait until the unit is charged and I'm back from town.

                              It's an impressive unit, but you do get the sense it's ever so fragile. I haven't touched the screen with my hands, but it's attracted fingerprints, stray hairs and dust. Same for the rest of the device.

                              Lovely kit though, and I can easily see myself watching encoded tv shows (especially with that screen), in the future on the move or lazily in bed.

                              Certainly beats having to sit at the computer to watch them.

                              I'm delaying playing Pure because I know it's going to be worth the wait for later.

                                I don't think it's worth the cost and the risk - it would cost me personally to send it back to VG+, then there's the risk that I would get one back with dead pixels, which wouldn't then be classed as a fault...... it's not too bad, I can live with it, safe in the knowledge that I got off quite lightly compared to some people, like the poor guy with the S shape made out of permanently lit pixels...
