PSP... worth it?

Oh that's good! I've got a few micro SD cards lying around .

Go for the SDHC memory cards, you can transfer the stuff onto the card faster.

am pretty sure you can pick up a 3000 series for about £110 while a slim and lite should be around £80

I think to run CFW I will need either the 1000 model or the 2000 model - except the latest release which means I'll have to buy second hand which isn't a problem if I can find one in good condition on ebay.

Try a blockbuster or 2, I picked up a mint one with game and memory stick for £75, and you get some kind of guarantee.

Oh, I actually remember hearing on another forum about Blockbuster. Will give that a look thanks for reminding me !

It was this forum, I mentioned it earlier in the thread

[Haiku32]

Oh haha, so it was. I couldn't remember where I had heard that before .

Thanks to you as well then, thanks to everyone!

I'm getting a PSP for my little cousins soon, so this topic was rather helpful. =)

My current plan is to get a 2000 model for 99 quid from Amazon, the adapter and a few flash cards for the memory as Allen suggested (thanks!), a carrying case and a few games. So any suggestions about a good cheapish case?

I've just picked one up for when I go on my hols but thought over £100 was too much for something I'd only use a few times a year.

Keep an eye on byithere.com who are owned by the same firm that owns a lot of the catalogues. They, from time to time, get returns and sell "boxed damaged" PSPs cheap.

I just picked a PSP 3003 up for £89.99 and the only box damage was the tape tearing part of the box image off, inside the console and battery pack hadn't even been untaped and are in perfect knick.

Bargain.

I have read people who have picked up PS3s off that site sometimes have the odd scratch on, nothing major, but the PSP buyers I've never heard of having any problems. That said they off a 14 day money back policy in any case.

It's worth keeping an eye on.

I can also vouch for buyithere.co.uk Managed to pick up a nintendo wii for £140 a couple of months ago
