From the same store you can purchase a basic pack that doesnt include a memory card or game for about £149 (it might be cheaper again but i cant remember). You could then order a 4gb card online for about £70 http://www.yesasia.com/?/product_html...tml?aff_id=24# and pay the same price as the 1gb PSP pack from the UK store (Comet).

Like someone previously said if you look around you can find it for quite a bit cheaper, but you cant beat walking to the high street knowing you wont get ripped off, as opposed to some of the bafoons selling on ebay etc.

Just to let everyone know, Gamestops and Bestbuys in the bay area (maybe all of the US) have only TA-082 motherboards. Sony actually called one of my local Gamestops to send back the non TA-082s...

That is discouraging. I didn't expect SONY to go that far to fight downgrades. Looks like it is going to be hard to track down non TA-082 PSP's.

Oh my, seriously that's a wee little too far...man Sony is determined...I really didn't expect THAT much.

Soon there will be a TA-082 downgrader, so don't be afraid of buying that, I say. Are there any good things about that motherboard? Doesn't it use less batteries or something?

wow, sony went as far as to call back the non-TA082 psp's >.>

I thought the TA-082 downgrader was only for FACTORY 2.50 PSP's?

This is being worked on by http://0okm.blogspot.com (0okm)? Right?

I bought a white PSP Value Pack 2 weeks ago from Gamestation in Liverpool (UK) with Loco Roco, Daxter and Ghost in the Shell UMD Movie for £169. It was a tasty 2.60 fw version with a non TA-082 which I downgraded when I got home should imagine they had plenty in stock. 2gb mem sticks are £49.99 in there too which didn't seem too bad so grabbed one while I was there

I got a 2.60 non TA-082 from Best Buy not that long ago. Not in CA though. Your best bet is to look for the Value Packs. Since they're not a real value (imo) most people don't get those. Best Buy actually tried steering me away from the value pack. But once I saw that firmware version that was indicated on the side of the box he wasn't able to change my mind. So yeah.. $50 more but was downgradable. Was worth it to me!
