Ok silly question here , Where is the best place to buy a psp?
See i don't actually own one myself I just use my brothers. He lets me use it because hes not smart enough to read through directions and put mods and games on it (and if he ever decides not to let me use it i tell him imma brick it on him >.>) I'm a nice little sister =D

So were would you guys say is the best play to buy one? I don't want a bundle pack with games I just want the psp so I can play all my fav psx games on it when I go on a road trip across country :p
I'm easy to please :D

Also I wanted it in pink but I guess thats only for the Japanese =/ kinda like that thing were the pebel only came in pink in the UK..A whole lota BS
So should I get a stick-on cover for it? or is that a bunch of BS making my psp all sticky?
Mmmm orangey <3
Im thinking orange so it matches the phone I'm geting :p

Any advice would be great =D thanks!
 
Hmmm dont know where you located so hard to say...

I got mine through buy and sell local forum (Red Flag Deals). It was good cause I could check the firmware, pixels and all before buying. Guy also threw in a 2gb memstick (not fake):-D


Other places maybe Ebay, local game store ( if the staff are nice, they might let you grab a used one with the exact firmware you want on it).

SOrry not much help I guess...
 
Thank you ^^
I was thinking ebay too, I tend to buy a lot on there, and I haven't got screwed over yet :p

Ok another question guys
The best deals im finding are for the ones from japan with ver. 1.5 FW
Can I put the D_A custom FW on them?
Or will there be some stupid problem .-.

Nope you shouldnt have any problem, as long as the seller is telling you the truth. (the package looks sweet btw)

Easy to upgrade to OE firmware from 1.5

Just be very careful that you dont get a fake mem stick. If you get and error msgs while upgrading (which is outlined in the 3.10 help thread) just stop and try and go with a different mem stick.

I upgraded fro 1.5 Jap PSP to 3.10 OE with no problems, so I doubt you will have any issues.

I live in Canada, so no worries about the region issue. Though not sure about the ac adapter (someone else comment???)

If something does come up though, the peeps on this forum are super helpful and will get you to OE freedom =)

good luck, but you wont need it =)

good luck with the decision, you cant lose either way though =P

Lol sweet XD, I have been able to mess around with my brothers for a while so it should be a snap for me to put the OE FW and all the mods I put on his on my own ^^ I'm pretty excited :-D
