Not sure which shipment mine was from, it has at lest 3 single dead pixels and two big groups of pixels (scratched under the screen), horridly noticible. I'm going to try and take it back to EB tomorrow and exchange it.

No, they don't care and won't replace them. Nintendo replaces all DS's with dead pixels for free.

Sony will only replace them if the pixels are really bad, such as a cluster of dead pixels. If its only one or two dead pixels they dont care.

Had a cluster of about 8 pixels. Walked into EB, showed them, and they gave me a new unit. From what I can tell, no dead pixels now (might be one or two, but its not noticible).

Okay Im gonna let you all in on a little secret. Its called the microwave. This is not the most honest thing but... If you have dead/bad pixels try to take it back the where ever you bought it. If they tell you to piss off, go home and stick your psp (any electronic will work)into the microwave for a couple seconds. not long enough to melt anything, just long enough to f*** everything inside up. it should then not work at all. take it back and say it just stopped working. then they have to take it back. This works best at stores where you can buy and extended warranty or a replacement plan. now I don't want to hear anymore bitching about dead/bad pixels. peace out

They rush production to have 1 million PSPs which will increase the chances of faulty hardware. Then they tell you to use it for 3 weeks and then decided if you want to return it when you get a faulty PSP.

Huh? The Sony rep just said they are recommending people play their PSPs for "1 to 2" weeks to see if the pixels begin working and then if they want to exchange their PSPs they can. Why are they asshats for saying that? What he says is true, some pixels may indeed begin to work after a little use.

[edit]
Well, apparently that specific article doesn't mention the dead pixels coming back to life, but this one does: IGN Article

That is what they are doing... they are hoping some people's dead pixels will begin working so they have a fewer exchanges to deal with.

I heard dead pixels rarely heal, the ones that are color shifted can sometimes be coaxed back to the right color by rubbing the screen lightly(normal LCDs). I returned mine for a refund, after having 6 always on pixels.

I ended up exchanging mine(it got worce than it was) 2 more times, all bad. Each time they refunded my credit card.
As soon as the credits show back up on my card(close to $800 on my credit card is tied up in three returns) I'm going to try the local best buy's systems.
