Help! I need a UMD replacement Holder!

[SchmuckofNI]

It almost sounds like Sony repairs the case for you. Or maybe not.

[Greensprout]

Finally got thru on the number after going thru touch tone options for 2 minutes then been on hold for 4 more whilst the call got transferred then.. I finally got thru..

BUT not good news..

The Sony guy said Sony DO NOT and WILL not be reproducing after market disc surroundings.

His reason was that if they did produce them it would encourage piracy.

He suggested that they wouldn't break with normally use and would only break thru neglect or taking it apart.

I told him it was in my trouser pocket and I'd sat on it.
He said (smuggly) exactly that's neglect..

I said what happens when other people call with the same problem will Sony release replacements. He said it won't happen to other people unless they neglect the UMD.

I asked what I was supposed to do to play the game and his best answer was 'Buy the game again!'

Looks like I'm not playing this game again..

I HATE SONY! Sounds like there not interested in helping just in case I'm going to be pirating their software!

Anymore ideas?

there's this special kind of glue you can get at hardware store, it's meant to hold plastic together. maybe try using this special glue?

[shizzle]

not super glue, it ONLY sticks to plastic.
just apply a very thin coat around the outer circle of the claer plastic disk, then put it back where it goes, but tilt the UMD sideways, soyou can keep it above the actual disk, wwhill keeping it in place

I don't think it will be that easy to get it in a position to glue it

try this: here
I've used this stuff before, and it'ss pretty easy to work with. I found it at my local hardware store also.
oh, it's pretty thin for glue also, so it should hold it in place without being a bother to the psp

Man that sucks, I'll probably end up buying the same game and end up selling my previous copy to a pawn shop. At least then I'll get some of my money back..

[fukyou.]

i got a better idea buy the game new open it up take new disk out go back to store say its broken get another new game and sell it on ebay or keep it or swap it for a new game or even store credit whatever u can get

How about ringing back and telling them that as they are concerned about sftware piracy, you will take them the original damaged disc and case so that they can see that you are not actually long john silver!

failing that offer to take the original case and disk to them and shove it firmley up their arseholes.
