White PSP Firmware 2.71 or less and non TA-082, in a shop?

[bootmonster]

Been wantin to get a new psp for a while after swapping mine for a 360

However, really want to try the custom firmware that's been floating around. Does anyone know the best place to get a new white psp, with the 2.71 or less (for downgrading) and obviously a non ta-082.

Would like to walk into a shop and actually buy one though as got my last 1 online and it had a dead pixel.

Anywhere, (in Glasgow preferably) where I could actually get to handle the psp before buying, just wanna guarantee I'm getting the right one.

Any help/advice would be much apprecaited.

Cheers, bm

New ones have all been TA-082 for a while now and it's rumoured that there's another revision (TA-086) just starting to make it into the market. I think the TA-082 has been around since before the white PSP came out in the UK so your chances of finding a UK white one with the original motherboard are pretty much nil.

That means the only way you're going to get what you want is to find an earlier Japanese white model, which is obviously fairly uncommon in UK shops. eBay might be your best bet.
