i wanna buy my wife a psp. she likes the pink one from success HK but the thing is that i want to be able to downgrade to 1.5 then upgrade to 3.03OE - like mine - but i dont know what firmware the pink one is and Success HK have not replied to the email!

does anyone know?

also what is the highest firmware that is downgradeable right now. i have ahad a 1.5 for so long that i was never really bothered. i know you can downgrade 2.71 what about 2.8+?
thanks

any 2.8 is downgradable, TA-79, TA-82s, and TA-86s all downgrable as long its 2.8 or below, im not to sure what the firmware is though

i thought success HK tells you what firmware it is

i heard they were TA-86s.
0okm recently released a downgrader for 2.71-2.80 TA-86's, so all yew can do is order and hope.

Go to store, buy it, come back 20 minutes later if its not 2.8 or below and say that you purchased the wrong thing and you want to return the item.

i think that it could come with 2.81 or 2.82. not sure tho. try contacting HK and ask

Success HK is an online store. It was a good idea though.

Most likely by the date of which it was released my best guess its a TA-086 and with 2.82 or 3.01 FW

I was going gift one of these with homebrew for xmas but was skeptical like benn so i just went and got a pink ds

I don't think it's downgradable at this time as it's probably above version 2.80 (I think she'ld appreciate any PSP)

yo its 3.01 - they finally replied to email :(
i dont know whether to get her one and just leave her playing lumines 2 until i can downgrade it or buy a black 2.71 and downgrade that.
i have found a pink one in uk online store called argos that is 2.81 but that is $300! it is £160. UK is crazy prices.

Buy her a white one she'll probably appreciate it just as much

i got her a pnk one from Argos. it was a great deal. £119.99 i paid and it has:
pink psp
headphones
remote
case
cord
32mb memory card
limited edition P!NK umd and content

ok so the P!NK umd is going in the bin or ebay and i will give her my old 2GB card - i love 4GB!

but the psp is 2.81. is that downgrade-able?
i know that 2.8 is.... or are they the same. i presume not.

oh and she loves it to pieces. even if she can only play lumines 2 on umd right now

UK is crazy prices.

I live in the UK and i dont think the prices are crazy

2.81 is not downgradeable

2.81 won't be downgradable for a while so be patient

:rofl:
wtf - xbox360 games are like £45 - that is about $90.
in usa i can get them for $50 and even less. that is about £25. you do the math.

every game and system i look at is about one third to half the price cheaper than the UK.
the PS3 is going to cost u guys £500. i can get one for $500. your price is the equivalent of $1000. damn, that is the price they were selling on ebay within an hour of launch... you guys will be paying that for months.

now dont tell me that they aint crazy prices.
the only reason i got a pink psp from argos online uk is because they are selling it cheap as it is last stock. so you get all that stuff for £120 - everywhere else you look on UK sites like Amazon etc it is £150+
i was going to buy from HK as it was only $198 but that was basic pack with no extras. for the sake of an extra $20 i have now got her everything else.:thumbup:

We dont have to pay £45 a few people know where to get them on the cheap without downloading them.

And have you ever been to the UK

Maybe is the wifi card cause the pink psp is a TA-086 and those have different wifi card but I don't think that will affect it cause its just so it doesn't over heat.

yeah i been. this is getting off topic now so lets leave it, but fact is that if you search web and look and UK store prices and compare to USA, USA is always cheaper and mostly the difference is significant. i am not saying UK sux... just that it is an expensive place!:p

u can just remove the pink faceplate/backplate and install it on a homebrew friendly one and return the other one thats wut i did and worked like a charm. btw removing the backplate wus kinda hard.

yeah i saw some on there but my concern is that there is no possibility for a native pink psp 1.5

I dont think there even is PINK 1.5 PSP's around

Well it all depends on what firmware the PSP's come with

splodger15
