f@#$ing Handhelds!

[KCBlack]

Well, a while back, I dropped my PSP while playing GTA. It fell on the carpet and may have bumped my chair. I figure, no biggie. I pick it up and it's turned off. Kinda pissed that I'll lose all my data, but still no problem. So I turned it on to find a huge spiderweb crack branching out from the center of my screen. What.. the... ****? My mom didn't buy the warantee on it and I had a shitload of problems sending it to repair services after my dad broke it more (I bought a new screen and we tried to put it in: broke the clasps off the motherboard in the process). That was last year.
So recently I start saving to buy a new PSP screen. I have a DS Phat/Original and a flashcart for homebrew so it's all good. I had my DS in my backpack for about 4 days and hadn't touched it. Yesterday took it out to play it, the bottom screen has a crack running down the center with grey dead pixels surrounding it. It still works and displays picture, but it's highly distracting. Now I have to buy a DS Lite. >.> I found out it happened because an old DS cartridge I had in the bag with the DS got inbetween the space between the top and bottom screen when it was closed, and I guess the pressure caused the crack. Either that or my backpack being in the cold weather.


On to my point: who here has broken their screens for any handheld due to carelessness (PSP, GBA, iPod, cellphone, etc.)? I know the PSP has a lot of victims due to its fragility. The DS is more hardy. You have to be a real idiot to damage that one.

Not realy,handhelds aren't my type.

Altough,some forsaken mobile phone with the code name Motorola V3X...

[cyber7chink]

NO dmg at all to any of the hand helds we have in my household.

2 PSP- 1 for my oldest (11) and one for me
3 Nintendo DS- 1 for each of my children (11, 9, 7)
1 SP- it was purchased before DS was out. Its now my wife's little toy.

lol. I remember my SP...

Anyway. Thats the only bad thing with portable gaming. It breaks easily. I dropped my PSP and it has a little darkened pixels at the top but its not very noticeable. If it ends up breaking I'll just buy the portable x box thing if it ever comes out. Playing Halo 3 portable!

I know. I'm talking about the SP. I totally missed the Advance time. I got a color then an SP. Didn't like the DS so I returned it.

I had my fun destroying my 8 years old computer a few months ago. You have no idea how fun it was to smash a computer to bits.

Believe me,i do know.


*Fun memories of smashing that annoying barbie computer*

I was supposed to throw it away but...smashing is way more fun.

I remember buying a gameboy color when it first came ou. I dropped it several times but it still worked. Guess they dont build em like they used to.

[Runahs]

I got a pin and then I stabbed my ds touch screen and it cracked. Don't ask. Its not even big though

[KCBlack]

Lmao @ that pic. Just remembered: I dropped my old GBC in the toilet and I left my SP in a rental car. Luckily, the GBC still worked and I was able to get my SP back. Nintendo and me just don't get along apparently. -.-

[alimobeer]

When i was little i got so mad because I couldn't catch zapados on pokemon that i whipped my GBC at the wall and obliterated the screen.

[Jeszus]

Lol i used to RAGE on video games when i was little. I don't even know how many n64 controllers i went through trying to beat mario cart 64

[cyber7chink]

I have dropped my PSP once, only thing that happened after it bounced down the carpeted stairs is that the disc tray opened and the gamedisc went fyling. No real damage.

[Mr. First Name Basis]

Well my PSP doesn't shine very brightly. However I have a Gamecube portable screen thingy and it broke or something. Doesn't matter cuz I never used it. I don't have any real problems with handhelds cuz they're for car rides only.

[nancy.<3's.you]

i have 2 gameboy colors (indigo and clear), 2 gameboy advances (clear blue and clear pink), a ds (indigo), a ds lite (pink), and a psp
my parents never bought me a sp tho lol

[BabyXSoap]

i dont handhelds nowadays What ever happened to cartridges?? For example the PSP its a little cd with plastic as protection..The ds, a centimeter size chip....>_>

[Trisomy]

I use a case for my psp so even if it falls nothing will happen.

[Kriff]

My PSP screen is cracked. It really wasn't a very fun system anyway, but I wish there were some way to fix it and sell it.
