seems like myself and most people who went with free shipping received theirs after just one week.
mine and others i've read had their package automatically marked down to $20 value, so there's no tax there.
if you ask for ups shipping i think you are responsible for any tax/duties stuff....if they upgrade your order to ups for you, then they will pay any charges if you tell them about it.Comment

My white PSP finally got here today. Me happy
Really nice bit of kit overall. First thing that caught my eye was the massively protruding buttons, they do stick out so much more than the black psp's dont they!? I also noticed how clearly visible the board under the circle and square buttons is at times. UMD tray feels much more solid and sturdy than the launch model we have at the gamestore I part time.
I have 2 lit pixels on my psp, one top right and one at the very bottom, just right of center I think. Tbh with you, I dont give a toss. It doesnt affect gameplay in the slightest. Its as big a deal as you make it! Ive gotta say, I love the finish on these white psp's though. I'm not quite sure if its a different finish theyve used, or just the fact that its white, but it feels like a classy piece of machinery.
Hopefully got a gig stick arriving on wednesday, and I cant wait to get watching some j-dorama on the move once again ([^_^])Comment

Thats actually a valid reason to be fair! I'm gonna go home tonight and try and get some emu/cough iso's cough to work. I'm still scared about destroying it though, despite the positive reports... :/Comment

Use this:
I've used this program myself and I can say that it is safe and it does work, IF you follow the directions. To remove it from the 28 pages that the other thread is currently sitting at, this will be posted at the top of all forums. Please direct all questions to either this thread or the Homebrew thread that will be joining it as needed. Thanks.
Downgrading from 2.0 to 1.5
The following two files are necessary...use any of the mirrors as needed.
http://www.omlette.net/psp/MPHDowngrader.zip
http://www.omlette.net/psp/EBOOT_1.50.zip
http://www.3lzes.net/elz-dev/files/MPHDowngrader.zip
Others are available if you search.
This will ONLY WORK on a 2.0.
1) You need to unzip the files MPHDowngrader.zip and EBOOT_1.50.zip. Use a program such as WinRAR, 7Zip, or WinZip (check Google). Once they are unzipped, you're ready to begin.
2) Set up a USB connection with your PSP and your computer.
3) Once the connection is set up, open up My Computer and browse to the removable disk that is your PSP. You'll need to set a few things up here.
4) When you first double click to open up the PSP on your computer, you'll be in what's called the root menu. There will be a PSP folder showing if you are in the right place.
5) Copy over to your PSP the following files to THIS location in the root folder...NOT in the PSP folder or any other folder. Index.dat and h.bin should both be in your root directory.
6) Once this is done, open up the PSP folder and then open up the Photo folder. Here, you will copy overflow.tif over, keeping it in the Photo directory and not a sub directory.
7) Now, go back to the PSP directory and go into the Game directory. If there is not already, create a folder called UPDATE. It MUST be called UPDATE and nothing else.
8) Open up the new UPDATE folder and then copy EBOOT.PBP into this folder from your computer. Once all of this is done, you're ready to downgrade. So far, so good.
Double check that you followed the above instructions before continuing.
Good.
9) Now, disconnect the USB connection from the computer and plug the AC adapter into the PSP. As with all upgrades, you must have a certain percentage of battery life as well as the AC adapter plugged in, or this will not work.
10) Go to the Photo icon on your PSP and scroll through the pictures to get to overflow.tif. You do NOT have to press anything. It will start automatically. Two strings of letters/numbers will appear. This is normal and good.
11) Wait AT LEAST 30 SECONDS and then turn off your PSP by holding the power button up until it fully shuts down. Then, start your PSP again.
12) You will now go over to the Game icon and scroll down to memory stick. Select it and you should see the 1.5 update.
13) Select it and start it up. Go through it as you've done before with your 2.0 update and follow the prompts. When the update reaches 99% it will crash and show an error. THIS IS OKAY. DO NOT PANIC. Once again press the power switch up until it fully turns off.
14) Now, turn the PSP back on. You will get another error. Just press the "O" button and it will restart after rebuilding the system data. Then just set it up as you did when you first got your PSP and you have a brand new 1.5 PSP. Be responsible with it.
If you have any concerns, please check this again before going elsewhere due to being extremely busy. Good luck and be careful with this.Comment

Does it work if your PC is a mac/OSX/UNIX. As when i copy photos or MP3s from my mac it always seems to make "corrupted data" files, but on a PC its dosent? Is this just me or all mac users? and you can see my hesitation for a firmware if it corrupts the files you need...Comment

Since it's something that done incorrectly could mess up your machine, I wouldn't risk it. Try and get a hold of a PC and do it.Originally posted by ZedComment

How is the D-pad on these white PSPs? Improved? Same as the black PSP?
I'm looking to buy one, but if they are pants for KOF then I'm not going to bother with the upgrade yet.Comment
