Brick'd

*UPDATE:

Contacted Sony. They're sending me a new one free of charge! LMAO. "I don't know what happened, it just stopped working!"

[splodger15]

Not that funny people who have sent it to sony came back with 2.80

[J.D.]

Well, at least it won't be bricked.

[Napalm-Death]

Sony probably knows you bricked it while downgrading anyway..

No homebrew

I'll keep my fingers crossed for 2.71 and a non- TA-082 but they'll probably upgrade it to 2.81 :/

i sincerely doubt that the receptionists know that kind of information.
Basically anyone answering phones at any company is a drone that has programmed responses. And i'm pretty sure the receptionists really could care less because the moneys not coming from their own pockets.

[J.D.]

^ Yeah, the receptionist seemed to not care about whether or not I bricked it, and since I still have 7 months of warranty left it's a free-of-charge swap.

Unfortunately, I think I'll probably get the kiss-of-death combo of a 2.81 system and a TA-082 mobo, but it's still better than what I have now, a system with the usefulness of a brick. Except it's a shiny black brick.

if u send it to sony, u might not get i TA-082, because they send u a refurbeshed one, not a new one. i sent in my bricked psp, and they gave me a non ta-082 2.80 psp.

[J.D.]

If I don't get a TA-082 I'll probably still have to wait until someone cracks 2.80 for homebrew :/
