Kazekage Gaara Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Hi there guys, I recently sold my fat PSP with the Original Sony 4 Gb MSPD at a very very good price Now I intend to buy a PSP Slim, which am gonna get tomorrow or day after tomorrow I was browsing through www.play-asia.com and came to know that they are selling 8 Gb Sony MSPDs for $154 US. Now, previously I had bought my 4 Gb one from Alpha (Vile Parle) for around $110 US, and since I got the same exact price when I sold it , am thinking of investing the rather $40 US and buying an 8 Gb one altogether, which I think is totally worth it Also, free shipping to India makes it all the more awesome. You guys think I should go ahead with this ?? Will I face any problems using it on my PSP Slim ? Edit: Just wanna know whether it'll work properly in the slim PSP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amay Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Yep, it'll work fine and the investment is worth it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lastAvenger Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 yeah. If i had PSP-1000, i wouldnt be selling it for PSP Slim because its not that worth. Besides its a mess to run the custom firmware on the new PSP Slim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Wolf Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Yeah, I have the 'fat' PSP and I won't be selling it for the slim. The slim just feels a bit 'cheap' when you hold it. But of course it has it's pros as well like faster loading times, more RAM, better DPad etc. But I'll only buy it if my PSP goes bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazekage Gaara Posted September 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 man whats the point of gettin a slim one if u already have a fat one? tv out? :-s and u didnt even ask me before sellin the 4gb stick Lol...am sorry dude but I sold it to my Mama (Maternal Uncle) and I got a really good price for it man. I got Rs. 8000 for my fat PSP and Rs. 4500 for the original 4 Gigs mem card, which equals down to Rs. 12500. Am sure nobody in this forums or anywhere would've given me this price. Would you ? Also, I think its the perfect time to buy a slim. It ain't a mess to install a custom firmware on your slim. Its easy and you have to be really stupid to mess it up. The current status is that slims are coming in with 3.60 firmware and M33 doesn't actually install a whole new custom firmware onto it. It just simply replaces a few parts of the original 3.60. Now this thing won't run on slims coming in with the recently released 3.71, which is gonna happen pretty soon, and the M33 team have said it themselves that its gonna taken em quite a while to release a new CW. Also, I've checked out all the pros and cons of this thing. First of all, I don't have to add a single penny from my own pocket to buy a slim or a 4 Gb Mem card. Second, am sure all of you guys know the features of a slim and I don't need to explain em anymore, but yeah...its a BETTER PSP than a fat one Currently, not all homebrew can run on the fat one but the ones that do run are the ones am only interested in like the various emulators And am 100% sure the homebrew scene is gonna improve and it won't taken em long for developers to shift from default 1.50 to 2.XX. Its just a matter of time Edit: Also, just so you guys know am not that interested in playing games on my TV. I have a PS2 for that Am interested in watching Divx movies that I convert to .mp4 on the TV. Currently, am using my PS2 for that, but yeah I know its gonna be interesting. Also, just so you guys know, you CANNOT play PSP games on your TV if your TV doesn't support PROGRESSIVE SCAN. So make sure your TV does and then only go for it. My TV doesn't support progressive scan so games won't work in the first place but movies don't require it Anyways, I just know am heading in the right direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinitwins Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 you've done your homework. and yes, if i could exchange my psp1k for a psp2k for no extra cost, i'd jump at the offer as well - although im only interested in playing a handful of games on it; used to watch movies on it (but transcoding was a chore), and for a quick gaming fix (mostly nes/snes/neogeo buttom mashers), i NOW prefer to use my DS lite or my palm pda instead V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastAvenger Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 The reason why its a mess to install the custom firmware on PSP Slim is because of the requirements.. (0-1-A) A "fat" PSP running firmware 1.50 or custom firmware, together with a non-el-cheapo battery. (0-1- A "slim" PSP running firmware 3.60, it is NOT possible to install this on a higher firmware version! (0-1-C) Memory Stick PRO duo, NOT a Memory Stick Duo, 64 MB should be fine, but must be 4 GB or less. (According to PROD, 4GB doesn't work at all, other people said that their 4GB did work) (0-1-D) AC Adapter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazekage Gaara Posted September 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Requirements.... Quote - A "fat" PSP running firmware 1.50 or custom firmware, together with a non-el-cheapo battery. Well, I've got quite a few friends who have a FAT PSP, and I've downgraded their PSPs without asking for a single penny. Am sure they wouldn't mind lending their PSPs to me for downgrading my slim In fact, I've already asked them and they are more than happy to do it. Also, a non-el-cheapo battery is not required coz you can use your regular PSP battery and revert it back to a normal one if you're smart enough to backup your battery's EEPROM Quote - (0-1- A "slim" PSP running firmware 3.60, it is NOT possible to install this on a higher firmware version! Thats why am gonna grab one as soon as possible Who knows what is in store with 3.71 slims...maybe an altered architecture altogether... Quote - (0-1-C) Memory Stick PRO duo, NOT a Memory Stick Duo, 64 MB should be fine, but must be 4 GB or less. (According to PROD, 4GB doesn't work at all, other people said that their 4GB did work) Check! Quote - (0-1-D) AC Adapter Check! you've done your homework. Yup and yes, if i could exchange my psp1k for a psp2k for no extra cost, i'd jump at the offer as well Totally Edit: Woot!!! I bought the PSP Slim (Ice Silver ) and successfully downgraded it to v3.60 M33 Gonna try out the 3.71 M33 pretty soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot-Drake-Pixel Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 yeah. If i had PSP-1000, i wouldnt be selling it for PSP Slim because its not that worth. Besides its a mess to run the custom firmware on the new PSP Slim. There is no such mess in upgrading the PSP Slim's firmware. I just upgraded mine from 3.6 to 3.72 and it was smooth like butter. FYI- 3.72 is required for remote plan from PS3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daedalus Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 i think play asia charges for shippin above 100$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazekage Gaara Posted November 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 i think play asia charges for shippin above 100$ Yeah I checked, and the shipping charges for such a small memory card were too low, prolly just 300 bucks if I remember correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazekage Gaara Posted November 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 6.5k is not cheap...if it being sold in india, its probably cheaper...the 2GB and 4GB ones are cheaper here than on PA in any case, if u do decide to buy off PA, dont forget to use the affiliates link peace Yeah..will sure do that Also, this thread was made by me WAY BACK two months or so ago. Now the prices of Official Sony India 4 Gb MSPD have dropped down to Rs. 3300 with warranty. Also, they seem to have only the picture of an 8 Gb card but the actual card is not available for sale as yet Am sure its gonna come pretty soon and I do hope the prices will actually be lower than 6k playasia price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
