Shops Get it Wrong

If it's between downgrading and buying the UP chip though, you might as well downgrade as if you did manage to brick your PSP, the UP chip would effectively unbrick it

I have to say people want the great 1.50 without goign to the trouble of looking.
Just two weeks ago i went to mi local gamestop asked to test some psp looked at the firmware and bought 2 (2.0) psps for 350 and sold mi white psp on ebay for 500 now thats a profit people just go out and look theres still plenti of them out in the stores

That's not really all that true. I had spent close to 6 hours on the phone (over three days), crossing all of the stores on my side of town off the list. No Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy, Circuit City, or KB Toys had one in town. Costco DID have one, but 2 days from when I called, they shipped them back along with other PSPs that Sony said had "defective" parts.
I hadn't even thought of Toys R Us until I saw a banner ad for them on the net. Guess banner ads DO work.
