    Hi,

    Only thing is we dont have a gamestation here. They are great prices for them.

    My problem is as always on a very tight budget so need as much as possible for as little as possible.

    My work are sending me to India for 5 weeks and a PSP was a toy to myself for quiet times.

    Could phone up Dixons at the airport duty free and find out how much they are selling them for!

    Actually I'm pleased I bought from a local retail store - I had a couple od dead pixels on the screen, but they changed the unit without any bother.

    If possible buy one with 2.0 ir 1.5 firmware then you can play homebrew games. (free software / games written by developers) most if not all gigapacks are 2.5 or 2.6 firmware i believe.

    i got one of these for christmas and have to say the psp is great but what is this about homebrew games, seen it come up a few times on google, where can i download it from etc? cheers

    If your firmware is 2.01 or above - forget about it for now. Only machines with 2.00 or less can be dowgraded to run homebrew software (i.e. Emulators such as a Megadrive or playing backups of you games off the memory stick).
    Never argue with an idiot. He will bring you down to his level and beat you with experience.

  • PSP Homebrew and isos are the way forward unless you want to fork out £30/game. Google it for more info. You need to have PSP v2.0 or lower as the previos post says. Can someone however let me know if I can use my PS2 power lead for a PSP?
