You should have asked here first, man!

Here's the scoop. Someone is working on a downgrader for advanced PSP firmware revisions, allowing you to turn back the clock on your system, but it's not finished yet. Also, I've heard that hackers are close to breaking the security on firmware revisions 1.51 and 1.52, but not 2.00. Whatever you do, DO NOT upgrade to 2.00! Make like Nancy Reagan and just say no!

Just be patient. It's gonna be a while before the newer versions of the firmware are cracked, but don't make a bad situation worse by upgrading to 2.0. Also, go ahead and talk to the guy who sold you the system. Maybe he knows something the rest of us don't (although I doubt it).

no homebrew, NONE! will work on 1.51. im not sure that madden will update automatically, but your better off waiting for the release of the downgrader before you purchase. then you can run the version switcher without fear.

Take the sales slip back with the PSP. To the place you bought it.

No downgrader is possible without a hardware modification. Don't hold our breath.. return it and check ebay or craigslist. I got a mint unopened 1.5 for $225 in NYC on craiglists in 6 hours.

not exactly the bible... more like a cheap (but reliable) magazine full of spelling errors.
