**froggie22** · April 15th, 2007, 14:22

Was just looking at around the net at shops that have modchips and saw this. They are charging people $40 aus to downgrade a 2.0 psp to a 1.5

They are making money out of the devs hard work they put into it. They release it for free for everyone to use but this shop is making money out of it!

Well ive seen them in the dodgy markets and stuff, they charge like £20 to do it.

It sucks man, i mean admittedly, it is there time they are using to do the service, but the money they charge isnt just for the time.

Omg what the hell is this? Scammers.

Well, it's a pretty stupid deal no matter what, but I don't think they make much money off of it if the PSP has to be 2.0 to start with!

But really this is just for people who don't know what they're doing anyway. If someone where smart enough to do it themselves, they'd probably know you can do it for free. Or if there is someone who is completely paranoid about bricks then maybe there would be brick protection offered by the business.

Anyway, yeah it's a rip, but only to those who know better and we're not doing it anyway.

A fool and his money are soon parted.

I went to some market fair once and I went to the games console part. And they were charging £20 to downgrade 2.71 PSPs at the time.
