PSP bundle

As PSP hunters are aware at present the base pack goes for around £150 and the value pack £180

Found a bargin in town today. It is not on their website. At HMV store they have the following bundles which have a psp base console and a accessory pack which consists of an earphone and a pouch.

bundle 1 - choose from two games. Sorry lost the piece of paper which i wrote the names on. Cost £150

bundle 2 - choose from two games. Cars or juiced eliminator. £155. I went for this one. The bonus for me is that the psp is black. it seems all other stores have is the white version.

don't know how long this offer will last
Problem with having access to internet is that i get asked by many to solve their problems :( Well at least i learn something on the way :D

    Does the black one function any differently to the white one?
    If not and he prefers the black then it is worth more to him.
    And besides, the value only holds up if he intends to sell the thing and judging by the very fact he's only just purchased it the this would seem unlikely.

    erm i think you misunderstood me

    i bought a PSP base pack and an accessory pack and a game juiced eliminator (alone worth from £30 to £35) ALL FOR £154-98 as a bundle pack. Which is cheaper than the website offers listed above which comes without a game.

    the difference between black and white PSP's are erm the colour. When you compare the packs for the black and the white PSP's they have same spec and contents. My guess it is to do with marketing to keep PSP in the public eye. I prefer black because less likely to show up marks/grimes. Don't think my young one will be keen on wearing gloves if i bought him a white one ;-)

  • I think its posted elsewhere on here, but just a reminder that woolies are doing the base pack with 2 games for £150, or £135 on line if you use a suitable promotion code. Games are RocoLoco and F1 2006.

    Just to clarify, is it £135 total for the psp base pack and 2 games if ordered online? Can someone please point me to the link as I have been on Woolworths website and can't find this deal at all.

    many thanks

  • The white ones used to be worth more when they first came out because they were only available in Japan and everyone knew the firmware was hackable.

    Now they are freely available in the Uk there should be no difference in price .. altho the black one does show fingerprints more than white.

    I would be really interested in this link too. I am looking to purchase a psp and cant find it on the website.

    Thanks

    so if i had the white one the firmware is hackable? i assumed the black and white will have the same firmware by now for the uk market
