Ok i bought a PsP from wallmart today.. really wanting to get into the homebrew stuff... but of course its the TB-what ever MB.. the bad one.. 2.71 FW but wrong MB.. so i have the option of wait for the eLoader or what i was thinking was taking mine back to wal-mart and getting a refund.. and getting one off ebay.. a 1.5 FW japanese one (link: http://cgi.ebay.com/Brand-New-PSP-Black-Console-Jap-Version-1-5-Gift_W0QQitemZ130023101557QQihZ003QQcategoryZ75556 QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem )

anyone got a option? i'm not worried about not baing about to play region 1 UMD movies.. i'll be putting all my movies on my Memory card.. so what should i do?

all i can say is that 1.5 is better than 2.71 cos with devhook, 1.5 psps can have the same functions as a 2.71 by emulating firmware. Go for the 1.5!

eloader is nothing compared to solid 1.5

Get your cash back and get the eBay one. 1.5 is PSP Heaven!

buy a psp off of ebay, but it doesn't necessarly have to be a 1.50 psp, it could be one with 2.71. Just make sure it doesn't have the TA-082 motherboard:)

Brick it on purpose. Return to wal-mart and say it randomly broke. Then get your money back. Swindle wal-mart out of 200$ and get a 1.5. I can not think of a better day.

it was funny.. i packaged it back up just the way i got it and i was even thanked for doing so lol, its kinda nice to live in a small town with a wal-mart, you actualy get to deal with nice people.. its also ALOT cleaner then most wal marts.. you goto a big city wal-mart and its always dirty.. but the one by me is quite nice in comparison.. granted it is wal-mart the evil money grubbing company it is..
