Well I know this is true because I just bought one from gamestop it had 2.6 on it and they said the upgrade to test games. So you can still luck out as long as they use 2.6 games to test. It sucks I know. But I would hurry and get now.

Well my brother just got a brand new UK Base pack and it was 2.71 non TA-082. So guess what?
I downgraded that sumbitch.
When I got my PSP second hand from EB Games (never seen a gamestop) they told me that they upgraded them, they let me look at it but the battery was flat, I didn't know much about homebrew at the time but I knew i wanted a 1.5. When I got it home it turned out to be a 2.0 which I newbishly upgraded to 2.6.
My friend got a PSP on rent-to-buy from radio rentals (he'll be paying for it for three years) and it turned out to be excatly the same as the second hand one I got 6 months earlier!! I just used the same downgrader I already had on my laptop. Apparantly they got broken into a while ago and had all of their PSP's stolen except the display model which is what my friend got :) so there is still some first hand PSP's around without the new motherboard and/or latest FW's. I plan on getting a backup PSP while the old ones are still around.
That is total and utter wank. What gives those f*ckers the right to update PSP firmware?
My mate recently got his girlfriend a PSP for christmas out of GAME , Lovely wee 2.6 effort... fully downgradable. I cant believe Gamestop are updating PSPs... unbelievable.
Hey, why is it policy to not let people check out the used system before buying?
Cause they just wanna be a**holes
i may have to buy some psp from EB or GameStop
yeah, from expeiriance, the guys at eb games are nicer for some reason.
