Hardware PSP Go! Purchase

[Mantis41]

I recently purchased a PSP Go! Console from Amazon UK. The item arrived and WTF!!!. The build quality was horrible; it arrived in a PSP 3000 box. The top screen cover was coming away in the corner and overall it felt similar to the build quality you get inside a Hyundai.

It turns out the item is MP5 player made to look like the Go! It has the sliding screen and a reasonably bright looking display. No money has been taken for the item as yet and I have requested it to be returned for a full refund.

I'm not sure if the seller is a having a bit of a laugh pushing these on Amazon or what.

wow they had better give you your money back!or at least not take it...

Yup see them on eBAY all the time. Just out of curiosity, how much did you pay for it? Can we get pictures?

 

[Schlupi]

pics, please? I am sorry, it's pretty funny. Stupid assholes online ripping people off.

Was this on Amazon UK Marketplace or Amazon UK proper? I avoid that now (marketplace sellers), was ripped off myself. I only use Amazon UK & DE proper these days. You definitely have my sympathies.

Yeah, I would like to know too. and what is the name of the seller who sold it to you?

 

[Mantis41]

Close but it has a sony badge on it LOL.
Strange that I haven't had any charges against my account yet. The purchase price was £124 with postage.

seller was 11ComputerGeeks of all things. I'm not too stressed. Even with third parties, Amazon purchases are a lot safer than ebay. I have filed the complaint and requested a return inside the return period of 30 days so there won't be a problem.

 

[Schlupi]

Holy shit. That thing looks pitiful.

I'm so sorry they sent that piece of shit.

MARIO DIAPERS?

There seems to be a few new sellers on there who have 'just launched' next to their seller rating and zero feedback.
Is this the same as yours it looks dodgy and the description is misspelled and he has no feedback?

Ceramic WHITE?

Oh my God. I should invest in Chinese knockoffs. They are funny.

 

[dickfour]

That's awful, I picked up a GO for 100 usd new! The same price as one of these knockoffs.

 

[Mantis41]

They offered me £43 and keep the item.

I threatened and they agreed a full refund. Item has been shipped back today.

 

[RoMee]

you should also report them to amazon

 

[Mantis41]

you should also report them to amazon

I think I will leave it be. They have given me a full refund. I checked the seller's shop and it looks as if they are only selling accessories now.

Shit like this should always be reported.

What happens if they do it again?

I finally found another one for £129. It has arrived and is an original in a sealed box. Thank fuck. I was a bit nervous about buying another cheapy. It is also looks like old stock and had firmware "5.something"

Thanks for the PSP Tuts Ryds if your still lurking.

I found the downloads for CPS1, CPS2 and MVS with full ROMs. All I have to say is "friken awesome." The DSiXL is collecting dust.
