Hey guys on the topic of PSP's, I'm about to upgrade my Weekend Everyday Vodacom contract to get a Nokia 6111 and it comes with a free PSP+1GB Memory card. Just wondering if anyone knows what version these PSP's are, its about the 1st time I hope they're giving old stuff away :D

Quite frankly I find Sony's attempts to prevent customers who pay hard earned cash for their product from being able to add features such as free games/apps disgusting. :mad: I know there will be arguments that they got to stop piracy etc, but why the heck should I suffer for that, not to mention the fact that envitably there will be a workaround every upgrade. Do they not realize they are infact CREATING commercial oppertunities for people such as Mod Chip manufacturers!

Also If I have just spent R200 on a DVD why am I not allowed to mod it to work on my PSP??? Why on earth should I pay more and more cash for another copy of it!:mad: . Anywayz the solution is simple, stop ruining non-piraters lives, and take out the people who make millions in asia making fakes. No wonder people turn to buying stuff from the flee market, make things simple, make them more reasonably priced, and the pirates will fail and everyone will be happy.

Oh ya back to the question before the rant, anyone know what version firmware they are running? :D

Probably the latest firmware, but I have seen firmware downgraders from v2.7/2.6 - 2.0

Forget about getting anything less than a v2.0, those are like gold if you can get them ;)

I know about the 2.7 firmware downgraders, and there is even a chip for later versions, but their latest version has the TA-082 motherboard which at the moment is uncrackable with or without the mod chip (please tell me I'm wrong and there is a way around it :p ) There is some really neat free applications and things online and I want :D . Well I wonder if I get it whether I'll be able to exchange it for an older model at cash crusaders or something. I haven't got the phone yet, tough choice between 2 phones, 1 has a free PSP, the other has a 3.2megapixel camera lol.

Well been googling for hacks and absolutely nothing, guess I'm just going have to pray that they don't give me a TA-082 PSP, if not, guess no more cool apps for me :(.

Does anyone here use bidorbuy.co.za? I'm interested in a guy who is based in cape town who is selling V2.5 PSP's his name is Japantrader or something if anyone has his details please share wit me :). Also if anyone knows of someone in the PTA/Joburg area selling PSP's that can be downgraded any contact info or info in general will be very welcomed. Decided gonna trade in the new PSP if it ain't downgradable for one that can be. Thanks all.

You have 2:eek: :eek:!!! Lucky bugger, I'm still not sure what version I'll be getting, its a bit of a lucky dip i suppose lol. Hopefully its old stock that sony sold them on the cheap and thus maybe v1.5 or 2.0 :D . Can't wait... just a few more days now.
