Buying PSP (2 Viewers)

[stazi]

how would i know if it's a very very new psp slim though before buying it?

 

[red-butterfly]

you'll have to ask for the specs before you purchase it. thats the only way to know. depending on where you go to get it they should have the knowledge to tell you. if not... then they're dumbshits...

^ ^

 

[stazi]

what specs would i look for?

 

[red-butterfly]

what you'll be after will be at least a v2. ask them about what model PSp they're selling. most likely they'll be selling a combination of both.

but you want ur m-board to be TA-088V2 (max)hack it from there ^ ^



I made my own pandora battery with my phat psp battery. DON'T i repeat DON'T even try to make a pandora battery with your slim battery... it will kill your psp... not speaking from experience...

and since they're going to stop production of the 2000 psps to prevent hacking and stuff... its best to buy soon.

I'm still going to get a PSP 3000 to see how hack proof it really is

 

[stazi]

awesome thanks for your help. i may contact you via PM for more help once i get it

do you think the mobo number is written on the box or something? or is there some kind of indicator of which motherboard is on the psp? :S

 

[stazi]

i got an email from ozmodchips saying that they haven't heard of the v3 mobos in aus

awwhhh that is friggin awesome =]]]

imma getting a white slimm then

i guess when the psp 3000 comes out it'll have like v3 or higher though =/

do you think psp slims will have a price drop when the 3000 comes out? cuz i dont wanna wait until then.

hopefully they release some new decent games with the 3000 ^^

 

[stazi]

yep, they will have a minor price drop. $20 or something, iirc, so not too much. I'm going to wait until the 15th when JB's new catalogue should be out to check ofr deals.

thats like an entire week away :O

awww, i have to wait 2 weeks to get my psp anyways =/ stupid yearlies.

just out of curiousity, do you guys think a wii is better than a psp?

 

[stazi]

yeah, cos a wii is exactly the same thing as a psp. you both take them with you to play on trains...

haha yeh totally

nahh, its just that my rents decided to let me get any one thing of my choice. andd i dont have any consoles either.

 

[stazi]

get a 360 or ps3 then

 

[gmail92]

nahh,, i'd prefer a psp =]

 

[stazi]

do you do the majority of your gaming outdoors?

 

[gmail92]

no, not really.

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

umm no they are not. they hacked the new ones really quickly.

 

[gmail92]

apparently the new ones dont have the loophole that allowed for the older psps to be hacked

 

[stazi]

no, not really.

it's unlikely you'll play much PSP at home, then. probably better to get a console for use on your TV. I recommend the 360 as it's not too expensive, has great entertainment features and has a solid library of games

 

[stazi]

umm no they are not. they hacked the new ones really quickly.

as the guy above me said: they no longer have the loophole. similarly, the v3 mobo hasn't been hacked yet. the 3xxx mobos will be even less hackable
