i was playing my psp yesterday, and i hit the R button alittle hard and broke it a little, i cracked the bit that moves down behind the silver bar on the right side of your psp basically, and it came out. the R button still works, but i took it back to EB games to try and swap it there. the stupid fat piece of shit there said that it was: 'external damage' and that because it didn't come like that he was going to refuse to do anything. this is straight bullshit, because if it was to break while you're playing then of course it came fucked up, what a dumb shit. i explained i've never dropped it rah rah rah, anyway end of story is: i'm going to go back tomorrow and hope he isnt working tomorrow and try again, has anyone got a better story to try to get it swapped surefire? didn't there used to be problems with the square buttons? i got a 1002-K psp for christmas if that helps.
thanks
jack

Ehh no just stick to the one you have now. You were playing a game, pushed your R button and it broke. No matter what they have to give you a refund exchange. Tell the truth and dont lie, otherwise they might suspect something. Take your reciept. Welcome to psp3d BTW.

Do you have an Extended warranty (ESA)? if not, return it and say you smell a burning smell (make SURE the guy you first talk to is not working), then buy an ESA for future incidents(only buy one year, and if you dont break it, return it and buy another one, ebgames warranties are 1 time use only)
BTW, I am the master of social engineering or Scamistry or whatever it is called (according to everyone i know).
Anyone can PM me if any of you need any help!

I have done this before, worked like a charm, never caught.
The last one (i pulled this one off on walmart today

) i bought a DS on halloween, played it hardcore for 50~60 days, returned it to walmart (said it was defective, smellt a burning smell) then returned it for my cash back today, all $167.48 CAD of it

Worth my time... And the best part is, they just take your signature! Pay in cash, use a fake signature, you will never get caught (unless they photo ID you, then you are screwed)!
All of this will probably get me killed or in jail... but i do it for the fun of it, get's my heart pumping!

Wow Des, I bet you have some crazy stories. Why did you take the DS back?

Yeah I hate all the people that work at the Eb games. None of them are understanding or caring. Most of them themselves dont even like video games.

I almost got caught once, but she just said "We cannot return items over 14 days if their value is over $200..." which it wasn't but that was a close of a call that i wanted to get...
I have returned 4 used PSP's to walmart without a receipt or ID (luckily it was a hot chick, and being nice, complimenting, and persuasive definitely has its advantages) that i purchased off of ebay for ~$200 CAD, got back $340.99 (tax is 14% here, on $299.99 that is $40.99) It is very risky, because it technically is fraud, but they would make money off of it anyways :P But there is a chance of going to jail... But i have had my fair share of failed attempts, but i always test it out first out of town.

I took the DS back because my bro got one for christmas, and since he doesn't play it too much, i would rather put that money towards another new PSP for me
