WHAT THE HELL IS GOIN ON WITH FREEPSPS?

ok i know we all should be patient but this is ridiculous. It has been almost 3 weeks since i have been waiting for approval. Everytime i try to contact gratis they simply close the ticket and tell me to be patient. i know they have a big delay on the shipments but the least they could do is approve faster. This is frustrating because i dont know if any of my referrals will be rejected and if they do then i will have to wait another 3 weeks. very unorganized.

My approval process is even worse. I went for approval about a month ago. It took 5 days and one ref was rejected because we had similiar passwords. This lady lives in NJ and I am in Texas. Turns out her son's name is similiar to my dog's name, thus the passoword issue. We got the issue resolved in a few days. I went back into the approval review. This time the wait has been over two weeks. Still waiting.

well, look at it this way.....maybe the PSP's you receive will be from a later batch then the 1st gen. That might not be bad at all....considering systems always have bugs with the first gen.

One thing, many other people that finished (FREEGAMINGSYSTEM - and other GRATIS sites) they receieved their stuff and status never changed for them. Same thing happened to me with iPod Shuffle - I received the Shuffle and like 3 days later htey updated the status with tracking number.

Maybe they are having problems with referrals - they approved some referrals but they didn't get money for them, so they don't have the $ - or there is many people asking for approval - and

1st gen bugs were ironed out with the Japanese release ?

Well I've been stuck at the approval stage since 4/01/05 and reading from the threads, I still have to wait for a while....Lets hope GRATIS gets going and approves everyone.....

17-04-2005 12:11:43

actaully i've heard the 2nd gen psps will be worse because they are changing the screens to a cheaper one and its worse

DCJoeDog

17-04-2005 13:26:23

where did you read about the cheaper LCD's? I hope they fixed the dead pixle issue, but that is just LCD life and not really sony's fault.

I can't find it right now but its something between the difference of a Sharp screen and a Samsung screen

Japan PSP (sharp screen) or US PSP (samsung screen)

18-04-2005 08:06:17

That's odd, when all my offers went green, it took 5 days to approve it all, jus t like the site said.
However, my order has been processing for 16 buisness days now.

AJustQuestion, shut up, lol. In case you haven't read, people have been processing for much longer for you. I was a late one, and I began processing 3/14. That's a month and 4 days.

18-04-2005 10:21:28

You guys are processing though? Damnit, I haven't even been approved for the past 3 weeks.

18-04-2005 10:37:01

ya, its been a couple weeks for me now waiting approval. Hell, I even got a 6th green just to be careful.

And don't even get started on freegamingsystems, I've been waiting on my x-box for two months. They even had me down as "shipped" for over a month...

heres the response i got from customer service

Sorry for the delay. Because we approve each account individually, on a first come-first serve basis, this may sometimes take longer than the stated time. We are also currently experiencing an influx of accounts submitted for approval. Please be patient with us. Thank you for your understanding.

jhennson

18-04-2005 16:39:28

FROM GRATIS

We are sorry for the delay. Unfortunately due to such high levels of fraud we are forced to be very cautious in approving accounts. We have to approve accounts individually. This may sometimes take longer than the stated time. Thank you for your patience.

when they use words that they think sound fancy and official like "influx" it just makes the whole canned customer service response even more infuriating. I think that when i asked to switch gaming systems they said it would not be possible "at this juncture."

We're sorry for the delay but we are currently making the PSPs by hand. We have a dedicated staff of 14 Swedish children putting together the PSPs. As an extra bonus you will receive a $35 IKEA card. Thank you for your patience.
