Buying PSP (2 Viewers)

[gmail92]

I was thinking of buying a PSP slim, probably a white one, sometime soon. Any ideas on how much it would cost now? Best place to buy it? I know the PSP 3000 is coming out soon, and apparently they're gonna stop production of the slim.


Also I saw a 4gb pro duo memory card for $32 + $15 postage = $47
(http://www.barnsaustralia.com.au/product/i/135336/n/sandisk-mspd-4gb.html)

or the ultra II version for $40 + $15 = $55
(http://www.barnsaustralia.com.au/product/i/135337/n/sandisk-mspd-ultra-ii-4gb.html)

would it be worth it?

nahh, im looking at the psp for its portable-ness

psp3000 is probably going to be really hard to hack, i already know that the brand new psp slims with the new motherboards are pandora proof...and obviously sony will be putting that into the 3000. thats the mean release for the new psp, to try and stop hackers...if you havnt figured that the new features are pretty useless anyway. lol, if you want a psp get a slim, but make sure its not the TA088 (v3), those are pandora proof..and i have no idea how to check slim mobos ><
hope this helps
and yes, theres a rumour that slims will stop production round sept this year

ps. all psp slim accessories will be compatible with 3000

*edit* reading this through...shit lol im such a psp nerd
ROFL

I bricked someone's psp and returned it to them without them knowing it was gone in the first place

What do you guys mean by 'hacked psp' and 'psp hackers'?

Im getting my cousin's psp, which is the first model, and some downloaded games, is that hacking? If i got a psp-3000 or the lite/slim one, would the downloaded psp games not work?

Or is that kind of hacking someting else?

 

[666_blessings]

Yes, I believe that would be hacking. It's kinda like the R4 cartridge on DS, only a little trickier to muck around with.

How would it be tricky, cant u just download games from some site like pspiso and copy into a memory stick, stick it in, and play?
If not, wats the technique?

ps: r4's awesome

negatory.

gotta hard-mod the battery to install custom firmware onto ur psp (3.71-mm) and then upgrade i t tothe latest one, or one of the latest one in order to play "backups of psp/psx games" (remember, no piracy talk here)

oohhh im thinking of getting one from JB after my yearlies, which are like 2 weeks from now. Its $299 with 2 games (Clank or something and a platinum game of your choice, probably Tekken). Is it an alright deal? Only thing i dunno whether its a slim or a phat =/ ill check it out next time i go.

If i go out and just buy a psp, will it be able to put custom firmware on? How would I know what firmware its running?

EDIT : Oh, and GAME is selling a silver slim psp and god of war for $300.

get whichever. doesn't matter once you get custom firmware.

in theory, yes you can unless youbuy one of those that have the latest motherboard on them. You'll need to hard mod your battery to install the CFW (custom firmware).

God of war is a good game, but too easy/short. lol

I like my PSP but to be honest, I never use it (It's often neglected because of my ps3 or pc). I have these games;

Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth
Metal Gear Solid: Portable OPs
Tekken: Dark Ressurection
Untold Legends: Brotherhood of the Blade (I only bought it because it was cheap)
Yu-Gi-Oh: Tag Force (I've always loved these games)
FF:Crisis Core
Metal Gear Acid 1 and 2

As far as I'm concerned, the psp will need some new serious games (I'm waiting for FF dissidia) to interest me once more in picking up my dusty psp...

 

[shinji]

Valkyrie Profle - lenneth any good?

Disgea has some pretty nice graphics, and the option to have voice in either jap or english =D

You can get the PSP pre-hacked batteries from www.dealextreme.com (This includes the unbricking ones)

On a related note; don't bother getting a PSP they have no battery life and no games and are fairly shit. However, for watching movies on the go they're pretty good.

I'm getting a psp the library of games is getting awesome, imo, and the integration with the ps3 is fantastic

with all that talk of some models being pandora-proof: does that mean you need to hard-mod the battery and then it'll all work fine and can be flashed?

 

[red-butterfly]

= = i bricked my psp but its getting fixed by my friend's brother soo its aalll goood!

 

[stazi]

"TA-088v3" is currently unhackable? Is this true? How would I know what version the mboard is?
