Time to Get your PSPs Fellow UK People

***wraggster*** · September 1st, 2005, 00:08

Ive had my PSP from the first week but now its the turn of my fellow UK people to get their hands on a PSP, tell us your thoughts about the PSP when you get it

Good Luck and safe shopping

If you are unlucky searching for one then SuccessHK who sell for $239 or £125 and Lik Sang US$ 249.90 (~139.91 GBP) may be a valid option.

Got my PSP at Midnight last night!!!

At last!!

Shame there is no way for me to play Homebrew yet as I am a developer myself and was looking forward to Saying "Hello PSP World" Today.

Guess Ill have to be patient and wait for the good fellows at PsP Dev to show us the fruits of their labour.

For now I am happy playing commercial releases, but rest assured I SHANT be updating the thing!!

Just got mine. No probems at all, apart from the dimwit's in woolworths not having Colin mcrae Rally, despite it being "In Stock" on the shelf. Idiots.

My heart stopped for a second as i checked the firmware version, V1.52!

So close.

There are rumours that Yoshisho of WAB has created a downgrade firmware that can go from v1.52 to v1.50 for JAP PSP's... we'll just have to wait to see if UK ones can also be done.

Do not upgrade to firmware 2.00 for the timebeing.

Just got mine from Game in Lincoln, Checked the firmware and OH MY FU%*ING GOD V 1.5, I dont know why or care why just bring on the Homebrew.

I got mine at midnight last night from gamestation in swindon and its version 1.52. Also got ridge racer and Tony hawks I wont be updating the firmware.

Does anyone know if its safe to put the Demo disk in or will it update all on its own?

I want to have a look at the demo but dont want to put it in if it will update to 2.0 on its own

chris, i really wouldn't bother. but it 'apparently' wont autoupdate.

I wouldn't risk it personally but if it does update you can always ebay it and buy another.
