PSP screen is cracked pretty badly

I dunno, it was fine when I brought it back. Plus I left it on the coffee table, not the floor. Maybe it fell off, are you sure you didn't step on it?"
Helzown said:
No, when I asked him to replace it he said no. When I said that he needs to at least contribute to the repair cost he took out his wallet and put a five dollar bill on the table.

So I may kick him out. I haven't decided though... because I might just destroy his DS, in which case you can expect pictures. Or... although I live in Canada, maybe I could get directions to the East River?

What I can tell you is Ive delt with these kind of people. For the excuses hes just giving you it seems he did broke your psp an refuses to pay it. Think of it.
You found it on the floor. As soon as you ask him about the PSP he comes with an excuse and tries to put the fault on you by saying a"are you sure you didnt steped on it?". How the fuck would a PSP fall off a cofee table? Its not a fucking cell phone and it doesnt have rumble. Hes making a fucking drama by slamming doors on your room.

I would have punched him as soon as he came back. I cant believe youre falling for those excuses. Those are old as hell.
Thats why everytime someone asks to lend something of mine I make sure he or she knows how to take care of things. For example; If someone asks me for a 360 game, I make sure all of his other 360 games are in mint condition. I see 3 or more scratched its a big NO.
Your roomie never owned a PSP and doesnt as the money for one. He broke it and he wont pay it. Shame on you. Try to be more careful next time dude.

Don't blame it on your roommate you little punk. You just don't want GAF to tear your ass apart. You better tell us what happened or else.
You're the roommate AREN'T YOU. Is his name Tyler?
 
i think the most telling thing is that it was left by the entrance of your apartment on the floor and that your roomie said 'are you sure you didn't step on it?'

he left it there probably hoping that you would, to duck as much responsibility as possible.
 
tell him he either replaces the damage or gets kicked out

if he doesnt pay, change locks, take something from his stuff that is worth $200 and put it on ebay. put the rest of his shit in boxes and hand it over to him at work
 
If it's a Phat, then order a Camy faceplate. I bought a silver-dragon one from them, and the quality is seamless just like stock, but MUCH better quality plastic. The OEM case is crap, plain and simple. Camy's plates have great molding and are really strong. Only problem I had was one of the holes came stripped on my plate, but otherwise it's way better than the original.

Swapping is easy, but keeping dust out is not. I've had dust problems ever sine I swapped plates. PEACE.
 
Helzown said:
Well actually, it's only the LCD that's busted. What you are seeing in that picture is the backlight shining through said cracks.
Holy shit. How the hell do you crack the LCD and not the faceplate? These faceplates are so flimsy. You gotta make that asshole pay...seriously. PEACE.
 
I have no idea how he could break the screen like that without putting some effort into it. I've seen a PSP fall out of the pocket of a coworker on top of a ladder. It fell 10 feet onto cement and bounced. Aside from some scuffing it worked fine after that.
 
Kicking him out is a better option than letting him repay you now. Don't live with people like that.

And you should have made an angry face from the start, it looks like he's holding all the cards now.
 
so, let's say my psp is in good conditions instead, BUT its body is covered in small scratches everywhere. Are there full body replacements for it ? i don't need a new lcd (i do hope there's some plastic in front of the screen itself) just a new..envelope ? (case, faceplate..whatever)

right... and then tell him she felt from the coffeetable and give him 5 bucks... :D

For this post: :lol

For the thread: :lol :lol :lol

For the OP: The next time he gives you rent, keep $170 of it. The next time he leaves, move all of his shit outside and change the locks the next day.
 
cracking the PSP LCD is pretty hard to do, my brother dropped his many times without it cracking, and it took a friend of his having it in a pocket while playing basketball and falling to get it cracked. that shit takes extraordinary effort, something like a dumb bell, iron, hammer or person dropping onto it.

i'd kick him out post haste.
 
Yeah, you need to kick him out. He's laughing at you right now.

Also.... :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol at the photochopped image.
 
take your roommate to court. It's the only way to dispute the problem and hopefully the judge will award you in compensations..... that is if you can prove it that your roommate did it.

IAWTP...

Also kick the shit outta him, do this daily till he pays you. He had a chance to gain some respect outta this by holding up his hands. But im sorry he disrespected you MAJORLY.

Kick his fucking ass!!!

I remember what I did to the last person that disrespected me and lets just say he didn't do it again.

I agree.

The screen cannot break from falling, at least not like that... I'm 100% sure that's from applying pressure.

Buy a screen replacement, steal or/and break things from him until he loses double the screen price worth in stuff. And don't let him borrow stuff from you never again.

That's stupid, what if he gets caught?
 
I'm very surprised that the screen cracked like that. I've really abused my PSP and aside from some scratches on the shell, the screen is perfect.
 
I say kick him out

It has nothing to do with the system, it has to do with respect...the principle of it all. He broke your shit, tried the pass the blame on you, refuses to pay even double digit percentage of the repair costs, and is acting like a fucking drama queen.

You'll have to decide whether his contribution to the bills is worth sharing a place with someone who thinks so little of you. How much of the rent/bills does he pay? If he doesn't really help with bills then the issue is already resolved IMO. Kick his punk ass out.
 
It's clearly not the result of it falling on the floor. Both my PSP's have fell on the floor countless times and nothing ever happened. Though when my LCD did break it was because it got squished while it was in my bag without the pouch, means he clearly did something to it. So yea kick him out.
 
WOW @ this thread. More specifically, the roommate's total lack of respect for another person's property. You're only enabling him by allowing this to continue --- if he had offered $5 and then walked away to play some Halo 3 on MY 360, with MY Live account --- hoooooooo boy, there would've been some fireworks.

and ...

Who does this?
 
nincompoop said:
So you work with him? Come up with a way to get him fired.
Over a PSP? Wow. Materialism doesn't really justify being an asshole, you know.

If the PSP isn't very functional, just tell your room-mate that they will get you a new one.

Also, brandonh83: your image is pretty hilarious. :lol

Alright, I know this is a retardedly old thread but bear with me. Sometimes I go through my old posts just see the sorts of things I've said over time;

"Haha, that was a good one Helzown!"
"Oh Helzown, you never cease to amaze me with your wit..."
"Helzown... you're a disgusting human being. Your father hates you!"

Ah.. I love me. Anyway, I came across this thread and specifically this post:

Have sex with his mom, leave her on the floor, then play dumb.

And I thought Gaf would appreciate the fact that just last wednesday I ended up having sex with his sister. This was totally unrelated to the PSP incident, but if he finds out I promise you all my response will start off with "remember that time my PSP fell off the table?" Anyway, this can be closed or whatever. Back to looking for my first day posting at Gaf, I know something funny happened.

He wrecks your PSP, and in return you wreck his sister's vagina. Now that's a happy ending.

The story is only complete if he leaves her lying naked on the floor at the entrance to his apartment.

"I don't know how she got there dude."

Then lay $5 on the table.

Wow, you actually let everything slide...

Seriously, wow. I don't think even sleeping with his sister can restore your manhood after letting something like that slide.

Unless she's really hot.
 
You might have sexed his sis, but you're still bitch-made for letting him get away with breaking your PSP.

You'll get no props from me.

Then go use his mom to lighten the mood.
