Preffered 2.71 eh...Pretty sure that 3.02/3.03 OE's are better than any 2.71

im pretty sure they came with 2.80 so they must have been downgraded. this site is great so i doubt its fake!!

that is really odd. i have done extensive research and it appears that the pink psp was released as 2.81

i dont understand how they can be selling these as 1.5

if they have been downgraded then Sony could screw them harder than Lik-Sang.
if the motherboard has been replaced then it must have been done by the cheapest labour source on earth as they would be losing money selling them at that price.

sorry, i just dont believe it.

Well then there's only one way to resolve this SOMEONE BUY ONE

I am certain that they are legit. Remember that Ookm himself admitted that the 2.81 ta-86 psp were "hard downgradeable". You see psp's like these on ebay. someone in hong kong has crafted a machine that can forcibly rewrite the flash on any psp. With this equipment, they can make a 1.50 out of any psp and then try to sell it on ebay for an inflated price. SuccessHK must either be using a similar method, or they have simply managed to get their hands on a few.

Don't complain about how they came to be 1.50's, just buy one and have fun.

ROFL its a scam!! look in the photos lol network icon still there

It's no fake. I don't suspect treachery here.

wanan get me one anybody ? my psp lcd screen is cracked...

Yeah, I was under the impression the the colored PSP's, mainly the 3 colors listed here come pre-installed with 2.81 firmware.

So if this is true they were not downgraded in the traditional sense.

I would be very curious to know how they were switched to 1.50. I would not want to buy a PSP that has been dissected and had mobo's replaced etc.

I wouldn't so much mind if it was soft-downed. But again, how would they do that with a 2.81?

I hope someone who knows more can look into this a little deeper. If I can afford it I may buy one to test it out.
