For anyone who thinks I'm some big Sony fanboy, here is further evidence that I'm not... actually, at the rate things are going (a defective PSX, a defective PS2, three PSP's with problems, and now THIS...) I'm starting to wonder if I would ever want to buy another Sony product again.
About 8 mos ago I bought a new PS One combo pack with the 5" LCD Sony screen. Now... I have barely even used this thing, maybe a total of 6-8 hours of play time on it... right after I bought it I found out how to softmod my Xbox so that was the system I played all the time, then I got a GP32 and then a DS and PSP... so have had plenty to keep me busy at work. But today I finally got a couple new PSX games I'd been looking for for a while and so decided to bring that to work with me tonite... well... wonderful little thing, now the backlight of the LCD has stopped working.
Well... the thing is already out of warranty (only 3 mos)... I figured, you know... knowing Sony... I should go have a look around, and sure enough, on the internet, places like Amazon.com or whatever, are tales all over the place of people having the exact same problem. And yet I bet that Sony will NOT do anything about it, will probably claim it's somehow my fault, and will want to charge me up the butt to fix it.
So I'm f'ing pissed... WTF Sony is it so hard to make ONE single f'ing game product that doesnt have problems within a year?!?!?!?\
Rant over...
