I found many used 2.71s at Gamestop, as well as a 2.8 and 2.5. I only checked at two stores so there could be way more out there as well.

or you could try out preowned ones in game and gamestation and ask to try it out, taking a look at the firmware en route.

ohhhh never EVER EVER buy preowned ones because most of the time they were updated by someone then traded in!!

I walked in to EB Games and asked to see there PSP's The dude came out And opened them And I looked at them all and made sure they had the right mother board and Firmware. Both the dude selling them and my dad were like uhh wtf??? Also For a memory card I went to walmart and got a 2gig for like $80 american.

You can check the box for codes (check out this link)

At the local Best Buy, they have 2.71's (K)...

If you have a costco, I'd for sure get one from there. I recently bought a PSP from there, when I checked, it was 2.60 (but now it's 3.03 OE-B ). For a memory stick, I'd get a Sony one, because you know it's going to work. Make sure it has MagicGate though.

Ebgames/Gamestop employees do not update firmware of preowned psp's. That is a myth. I just bought a used psp right after Christmas and I asked the employees about that "policy". They didn't even know what the most recent firmware was. Got myself a used psp in launch packaging (spiderman 2 sticker) with 2.60 firmware. Of course, that became 3.02OE-B before the night was over.

My advice: Go the used psp route. Most stores don't care about you handling the used merchandise anyway.
