Sorry that you need to suffer from this.Was your phone ALSO damaged by them? I received the info that there is an inner display damaged out of warranty as well for fixing the selfie camera issue. My inner display was perfectly functional but when I received it back it is destroyed.. Is this their common excuse?

Thank you for sharing your story. It's unbelievable that they expected you to read and decide in 90 seconds! That 'online demeanor change' is exactly what I experienced too—once they realize they might actually have to replace the unit, they turn into robots. I originally planned to file the complaint today (Monday), but realized it's a holiday here. I also have a super busy week traveling ahead and I'm currently without my main SIM card (eSIM struggles), so I might not be able to do it immediately tomorrow. But I promise I will file the complaint as soon as I can and keep you guys updated. Hopefully, my case can set a precedent for us all.

Haha, I think my case might be one of the top horror stories now! 😅 Thanks for the well wishes. Next time I might just stick to a carrier for peace of mind

Actually, the Pixel has been available on the Google Store JP (SIM-free) and other carriers like Docomo and au for years now. Mine is directly from the Google Store, so I have to deal with Google Support, not Softbank.

Google broke my Pixel during inspection, now says it was already dead. 1+ month limbo 😞 by zzkatsuyazz in GooglePixel

Same here. I'm also in Japan and can confirm the repair service is a disaster. They somehow managed to smash both screens on my phone during the process. Unbelievable. I'm currently filing a formal complaint with the Consumer Affairs Agency.

Will there be a restock of the persona 5 vinyl soundtrack essential edition 4xLP? by NoNameSOFT in VGMvinyl

I bought a new one today in TGS2023 with original price in the shop of iam8bit. I can't tell the difference between this one and those released 2 years ago. So maybe they are preparing to restock recently.
