As described in this thread: http://ntsc-uk.domino.org/showthread.php?t=33466 I have an (extra) broken PSP. The back of the PSP is dented, and there seems to be a crack just at the top of the LCD screen on the front, although you can't feel it to touch. Is there any place/person who might be able to do something with it? Obviously I would pay for any labour and postage. Any suggestions gratefully received...

Doubt you'll get it fixed in the UK mate, your best bet would be to ask someone who lives in Japan to try and return it for you. -
You mean like Sony Japan's repair service? Anybody living in Japan who could do this?Comment

Forget getting it fixed.
If i were you i'd be claiming for it on the household contents insurance. Tell them you dropped something on it. They'll never know you've got 2 and they certainly won't be be able to get it repaired for you either. Worst case scenario you'll get another new one, best case they'll just give you the money.
Obviously its dodgy and i'm not advising you to do it. Just telling you what i'd be thinking if i was in your shoes.
Before anyone accuses me of pushing up insurance premiums. I pay an absolute fortune every year for contents insurance and up to now have never claimed for a single thing. Its about time that people started getting value for money from whats little more than a legal scam.Last edited by Yoshimoto; 12-01-2005, 17:55.Comment

Sell it as damaged, you might get something back for itComment

Yeah, damaged old PS2's rarely go for any less than ?50 on eBay, so it's worth a try.Comment

Yod@ over at rllmuk is looking at it for me. I was considering waiting for the PAL release and trying it on. A friend of mine is an actor, I'll get her to coach me on 'looking innocent'Comment

Totally OT but what you suggest, aside from fraud/theft implications, is why you, and all of us, have to pay such high premiums in the first place.Originally posted by YoshimotoComment

The retail route is the way to go - wait for UK release, buy one that day, then take broken Jap one back next day.
There's nothing to feel bad about here - the units are "international" so if you bought one whilst on holiday abroad and it breaks after you come back to UK you SHOULD be able to exchange it anyway !
Plus the bint in the shop ain't gonna have a clue

The unit is completely borked - it's dead. So the whole pack is now for sale in the trading forum. (Mods - hope this is OK - some people PMed me to ask me to update this thread when I found out what was happening with it)Comment
