Sony finally says "Whoopsie!" instead of 'WEMEANTTODOTHAT!"

Okay, that took long enough. Sony has finally implemented a free repair program for the dreaded stuck button problem. It appears that initial shipments of the device went through a faulty production process where the plastic under the case was not completely removed. This led to the button getting jammed, or feeling sticky. Nothing pisses fans off more than a sticky button. Sony will never forget that. They must avoid sticky buttons at all costs in future devices. Sticky buttons is fun to write on the keyboard.

[Thanks Scott!]

Now all they have to do is start shipping the PSP with a decent battery, put the thing in a a shell thet does not show every goddamn fingerprint, use 2 latches for the UMD instead of 1 to prevent the UMD from ejecting, fill it with some decent MP3 functions, remove the load times for games and allow the unit to play full-resolution movies off of the memory stick, it should be a really sweet device.

I WONDER IF ANY OTHER IMPERFECTIONS HAVE BEEN CORRECTED SINCE THE 2005 MANUFACTURING PROCESSES. IT SEEMS LIKE ALOT OF PEOPLE HAD THEIR PANTIES IN A BUNCH DURING LAUNCH.(eX:STICKY BUTTON, LOOSE LATCH, WHACK-ASS BATTERY)

Why are you yelling #2? Are you deaf? Is your Caps Lock key STUCK?

Excuse me, but I'm a designer at Logitech.

I would like to say the the Caps Lock button was made this way on purpose. It's according to specifications. This is something that we've created, and this is our specification. There was a clear purpose to it, and it wasn't a mistake.

This is the Caps Lock design that we came up with. There may be people that complain about its usability, but that's something which users and software developers will have to adapt to.

I believe we made the most beautiful keyboard in the world. Nobody would criticize a renowned architect's blueprint that the position of a gate is wrong. It's the same as that.
