The Worst Day of My Life with my PSX2

Well after waiting 14 hours in line and being the first one to get one, my PSX2 has just broken down.......i mean i just come home and its not on standby so i try to flip it on..nope...try another outlet....nope.....drive 2 hours to use my friends power cord...nope...and now since i cant return it Sonys gonna fix it.....the REALLY bad part is a rental game is stuck in there and now i have to buy Street Fighter EX 3(god why did i rent that) and give it to blockbuster since the manager was`nt too happy about it....i`ll give sony credit their paying for the game, and for it to be shipped both ways but i mean 2 months with no psx2 oh well....sony is awsome for what their doing but what happened is horrible and even thought it was starting to get dusty i miss it more now since i cant play anything i mean ahhhhh oh well enough about me complaining....its true thought u never know what u have until its gone....time for some psx and sega action enjoy what u got i mean nba live i cant bare the thought  

its good to hear that sony is handleing this well and treating the customers well
Sorry for your problems, hope your future is better

[Evi]

That sucks...:sconf:...I\'m sorry dude...

That\'s good, but mostly bad, two months, why so long????  At least they paid for the game, but still, two months???

Thanks for the support....well since they are paying for it they are paying for air mail to send it to them and ground to send it back.....and then 7-15 business days after they get it until a tech gets his hands on it, and then another week or two to get it back so it is possible for it to be 2 months... all i know is that now that this happened i need a new cpu because there are a few games i want to play and now that my ps2 doesnt work..its an excuse to get one :)but i would have never thought that with all these sweet games coming out my nice little psx2 would go away....if only they made enough so i could just return it...oh and anyone who reads this if u got an extended warrenty from best buy or circuit city or anyway for that matter they WILL NOT give u another one....they will give u ur money back and tell u that U MUST FIND ONE on ur own and they will not hold one for you when they get more...so i pretty much wasted money on an extended service program..

Sounds like a pretty lousy situation. It is good that SOny is doing so much to help you with all of this stuff. Of course it is their fault for making a bad system, but it\'s a pretty rare sight for a company to serve their customers that well.

I hope all goes well for you.  It\'s going to be my turn next.  My PS2 plays like crap.  Smackdown 2 won\'t play.  90% of the DVDs I get won\'t play.  I already e-mailed and called Sony so maybe I\'ll get a response tomorrow.

you\'ll be waiting longer then you thought to get it back. I sent my unit in on December 27th and they received it on December 28th. My PS2 sat there and collected dust until they 6th of January. That\'s when they assigned it to a technican. So i called them and ask them how long. I was told by 2 different people that i was told incorrectly over the phone that you won\'t get it back 15-20 business days from shipping it but 15-20 business days after being assigned to a technican.

When i sent mine in they couldn\'t figure out what was wrong with it so they sent me a completley new one.... It took em about 3 1/2 weeks to get it out to me though. Oh and the iceing on the cake is I had to pay shipping and handling $20. Oh well i got store credit for it but still its their fault for making a faulty system then i dont have it for over 3 weeks then must a pay a charge. Does anyone else see a problem with that? I do. Oh well its all cool now.

Damn, these stories just suck.  A product should not break down like that 2-3 months after purchase.  I hope Sony is pulling together a lot of resources to give customers what they deserve & more.  Haha, and that story about that Extended Service Plan is just a joke, what a ripoff.  No wonder so many people have bad-mouthed and made fun of them.

I feel so fortunate since mine seems to be running just fine, I hope I didn\'t just jinx myself.......

you didn\'y have to make that two hour drive, you could have tested /w your original playstation power cord; thier identical...  i feel ya... mines being repaired also, but that\'s cool i\'m buying a new comp. today an plan to play "the sims" for weeks.  i feel ya bro

THX:

my apologies foe the double post, but THX\'s comment about the jinx got a laugh out of me.  if i would have thought twice i would have realized this post was a waste of space.

Ah man... I really hope that I will not be in your situation...
