Devastated vita owner

When i got home today i found my vita on the ground. I dont know how it came unplugged from the charger or anything but now i have two nasty dents in it. These dents discolor parts of the screen. Now i have only had my vita for a few months and was wondering what my options are for fixing the screen/repair/getting a new vita. I did not get and warranty from the store i bought it from cuz it was half the price of the console... Do i have to bite the 350 dollar bullet or is there some cheap way to fix this? BRB getting tissues to wipe my tears.

Wow, how bad was that drop? Do you know how freaking strong that playstation vita screen is? It barley even breaks, but i had this happen to my psp along time ago and i just lived with the dent... its not that hard.

I love my games man, but tears? Really? :? See if Sony will repair it, and if you really can't live with the discoloured screen than yeah, you might have to buy a new console.darkspineslayer

It's $250 + whatever accessories/games he purchased for it, no chump change there.

But yeah, how did you (TC) managed to do that much damage to your Vita? I dropped my first unit from waist height onto the pavement, and all it got was some scratches on the corners.

Anyways, best bet would be to get Sony fix it and see if the 1 year limited warranty can do you any good. If you're trying to save some money, you can always take your chances with a 3rd party electronic store and get it serviced.

it fell on my cell phone charger (electric prongs upward) for whatever reason it was upright...

................................but

i convinced the retailer to give me a new one free.... so hugs all around.

I guess the chick on the phone was really nice... I told her my 30 day warranty was up and i had dented my screen and asked if she could do anything about it. I got to Future Shop (Canada) (basically the exact same as Best Buy) and she looked at the dent and said "that can pass as not looking like u did it" then she opened a new vita box and gave me the console. Then some big lady gave me my reciept and was pretty pissed and said "sorry but we can't do this again ever". So i walked out with a new vita happy... just thinking if that first chick was gonna get lectured because i told her I dented the screen and it wasnt like that out of the box yet she knew. Maybe she was unaware of her own store's return policy?
