I am superbly disappointed in Sony. I bought a PSP when they first came out and sold it back a year later for lack of any good games (in my opinion, purely MY opinion). In the meantime, I was pretty happy with my PS2, even though I ran through about 5 of them, and my PS3, which is awesome. But just recently, I noticed a good influx of games to the handheld. Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core, God Of War: Chains Of Olympus, and many others. I purchased my PSP at the same time as FFVII:CC, and made it about 40 hours into the game when my brother and I noticed that the Square button was slightly unresponsive. That's cool, I can live with that. The game didn't require much of the Square button, just the map. But during GoW:CoO, it became a problem. For those of you that don't know, Kratos loves the Square button. It's used in almost all combos, magic castings, and button-prompt mini-games (of which there are a ton). Now, the button does not work unless I jam on it about 30 times..and then Sony had the audacity to tell me that they fixed the problem years ago, and that they would take a look at my PSP if I sent it in with $80, not including S&H, and the recei[pt. I refuse to pay $80 for a defective product that originally cost me $150+ to begin with. I always knew that Sony was a money grubber, but what major corporation isn't, you know? What I never would have imagined was that they would so blatantly disregard their customer's satisfaction in search of more money. Being a loyal customer of Sony for years, thru the PS, PSOne, PS2, PS3, PSP, many games, and much more, I had hoped for a little more consideration. Should have known. I am proud to say that I have been a gamer since I could hold a controller, and am a proud owner of every console I have ever owned, with the exception of the PSP.I hope that this is not a glimpse of things to come with Sony. If so, I will be playing my PC and XBox 360 full time..(Rant over)All that being said, is there anyone out there who can help me fix my PSP or direct me to a site that will help me do so? I don't care if I void my warranty. In fact, I consider the warranty moot in the light that Sony doesn't care about it anyway. So please, someone, help me enjoy my games once more.Thank you.
