I just got off the phone with Sony regarding this issue. The guy was very friendly and it seemed like he had been getting several calls of this type. He asked me when I bought it, read his script regarding dead pixels (basically word for word whats in the manual) then asked me if the pixels were bothering me. He then placed me on hold for about two minutes. When he came back he told me that they would replace my unit with a brand new PSP and would be emailing me the information I needed to ship it back. Total call time including time waiting on hold was about 17 minutes.
As a side note, the lackey at the Best Buy store I talked to told me that they couldn't do anything for me because I neglected to purchase their extended warranty. I probably could have pushed the issue with a manager but I figured I'd try the lower stress Sony option first.
thats what i thought for years till i played wonderboy in monsterland on a turbografix 16. iirc it was released by hudson where as the sms version was released by sega. my guess is that sega picked up the publishing rights for the sms versions of these games
you can pre-order the imports of these from www.kicks-hobby.com for $30 each. they also have some smallish pics of the cover art you might want to check out even if you dont do the import thing.
Today marks the first time that I have ever been ashamed to say I am an American. I have lost what little faith I had in this administration and can only hope that something stops Bush before big business truly is the highest authority in the nation. As for me, cashing that refund and moving to Japan is sounding better by the minute.
