    the only thing i would say is go to ebay and buy a psp 1.5 version.

    this might sound strange but could save you money long term.

    look into it or pm me with any questions

    I got my DD's one refurbished from Gameplay website for about £110 delivered (pay the 99p extra for 1st class post). But it does seem to be the black ones. If you phone them, perhaps they might have a white one as well.

    For games, I got Daxter on-line at PC World "collect@store" last week for £9.99 which is an amazing price! I had earlier got Burnout Legends cheaply in the Argos summer catalogue clearance.

    eBay probably good source for cheap games.

  • Kelkoo can't find them cheaper than £150 - you're best bet for a brand new "base pack" (ie just the PSP with battery and charger) looks to be Argos amazingly enough.

    White
    black

    Buy one, get your £10 voucher then use it on the second - £289.98 for the two.

    Of course, you can save a fair bit on that by going for refurbs (Bameplay still have them) but you might struggle to get a choice of colour. Oh, and if you do go that route, double check that there aren't any pictures or anything still on the PSP!

    Haven't got an ebay account:(
    Yes, we will be looking for the less recent version;) That is why we need the large memory card;)

    I think I'm going to purchase 3 x 100 gift vouchers from Argos to get £30 in vouchers back, then buy the 2 psp's seperatly to get 2 x £10 back.

    1st psp £149.99-£30 in vouchers = £119.99 + £10 GV back
    2nd psp £149.99 - £10 voucher = £139.99 = £10 GV back

    Total = £259.98:D

    hi sahra

    i bought my bro one from Gamestation last week - it was preowned but in perfect new condition in box. The box still had the 179.99 HMV price sticker on it. They let me check it thoroughly. £129.99 including 1 free game.

    Theres a 30 day moneyback guarantee with it - and a full years guarantee all in.

    They had them in black or white.

    You could check HERE to see if theres one local, might be worth having a look.

    Went to Game (shop) yesterday and bought one for my son. It was classed as a pre-owned one but apparently these are just units that have been returned with bits missing. The Unit has never been used still with original glass protector. Purchased for £109.99, Fifa 07 = £15, Logitech Box protector = £4.99 not bad for £130 me thinks!!
