I got the silver Rachet and Clank pack yesterday, and after charging it for a few hours I tried to turn it on. The little green power light turned on like it was about to start up and then it just turned off. I tried it over and over until something happened and it turned on. I was going through the menus and it suddenly froze. I turned it on again and everything seemed to be working. Then today I tried to turn it on and again the light comes on and then turns off. I'm gonna return it today for a working one.

Anyone else had this problem or heard of it?

Wow you got it bad. I myself have a problem with my psp 3000 also. For some reason my psp 3000 only goes up two levels of brightness and with the charger it goes to the third level so I guess the problem is that ain't it suppose to go up to three levels of brightness and with the adapter it goes up to the fourth level. So is it broken or is it suppose to be like this? If anyone knows how to fix this than please help cause my brother's psp 2000 is outshinning my psp 3000 and I'm piss off about that.

Wow that's messed up. Just return it. You wouldn't want it or bother trying to fix it because you didn't even brick it yourself.

This better not turn out to be the RROD for the PSP, i mean.......XBOX 360 was and still is terrible about RROD and now the PSP 3000 is gonna be known for ******* bricking outta the box. Sony better have had just a few of these slip through and not be like microsoft and **** themselves by rushing its release.

1.) The 360's are doing a little better with the rrod.

2.) Another reason to get a 2000.
