Round 4: Calling Sony Style re: PRS-500 Firmware upgrade
I had a bad feeling come over me last night so at about 12:20 AM AEDT (GMT+11) I rang Sony Style. I had them confirm my physical address and e-mail address. They had mangled both. - The phone line quality makes things difficult, and the man (couldn't get his name again..) wouldn't send me a test e-mail
He told me I will need to pay to get it back. This isn't exactly what was indicated to me before, but I agreed to it - I really want my PRS-500 back! I will confirm details once more late tonight, and ask how I will go about paying (if necessary). Rounds 5&6.. Last edited by AprilHare; 11-29-2009 at 05:05 AM. Reason: Moar |

It would be nice if all threads you started regarding this issue were united into one.

Round 5&6
Ok, yesterday (Friday afternoon American West Coast Time) I rang Sony (twice). Firstly I had them confirm my address (again). They had mucked up where I lived. They had Sydney as my address - thats sort of like having a letter addressed to London, New York or Los Angeles: technically correct, but ultimately destined for the dead letter office (and packages that are misdirected eventually end up being sold here..)
I breathlessly told them my suburb and confirmed the whole address with a followup call. *Finally* I am sure they have my address and contact details correct! It was like pulling teeth, but by George (coincidentally the name of the operator for both calls) I think they've got it! The address that is, not the PRS-500 (that may arrive next week). Secondly, I checked whether I'd have to pay to get my package back. They assured me that my package would be sent back to me, by air. When asked whether indeed I needed to pay, they reiterated they were just sending it to me I guess I'm not paying I may get this thing back by Christmas after all, firmware upgraded and everything! Thanks again Sony! -- Oh, and according to Wikipedia: Quote:
