I figured if there was anywhere I could ask without being berated by people saying that it's not right and getting banned, it was here.
So I bought a PS Vita on release day from target.
Two days ago I had it in my pocket and the screen broke. Never dropped.
Now, still within one year warranty, I call Sony and ask and they say that accidental damage is not covered. Even though I explained that it never got dropped, it just broke in my pocket.
So they want $130 to fix it.
Now, of course, I can always pull the walmart switcheroo.
So, here's the scenario.
Go in, buy a PS Vita using my credit card.
Come back out the store, head over to my car, take the serial sticker off my old PS Vita, and the new one, then reapply the new serial sticker to the old using a tiny drop of super glue. The people at walmart won't know the difference.
Now if I go back to the store (say hang out in the car for 30 minutes?) and try to return... say "it wouldn't turn on"... if I had the receipt, would they definitely give me the money back on to my credit card?
I know they'd take it back but would they give me my money back on to my card?
Or would they insist I either A. take a replacement Vita (since mine "wouldn't turn on") or would they B. say the only thing I could have was a gift card?
I need the money back on my credit card, I never ever shop at walmart so a $250 giftcard is useless. I need that money back in my checking account.
Thanks in advance and please don't judge me for it... I sold an xBox to get the vita and don't just have another $130 laying around to repair it... And I literally DAY THAT IT BROKE had bought PS Plus with a christmas giftcard so I could get all the free games... Shittiest day ever...
