Go with a 2gb stick. They sell on Trademe for around $100. Better than $125 for a 1Gb from Bond and Bond.

Battlefeild 2 was meant to be out for PS2 by now, but might have to wait a while longer. Couple of FPS out, but none are really worth it.

I still enjoy the fact you can download quite a few bits and peices for the PSP and most are easy to set up and use.

My cous has a hacked PSP and multitude of games so I had a play with a few. 1st PShooters arent flash. Moving around with analog stick but looking around with right-finger buttons aint that great. Pity.

NFS most wanted wasnt bad, Fight-Night 3 was quite cool.

Bought 1GB stick for $87 from flashcards.co.nz (awesome folk)...was a bit dubious of trademe guy but have been reassured since.

trying to find a source for NZ street maps at the mo (digital/.jpg form). Expensive!

Hacked?? Has he got the mod chip?

Yea the TM guy isnt bad. I have emailed him and he stands by what he sells and will gaurentee all his cards if they dont work when you get them.

Not modchip...has v1.5 firmware and runs DevHook. My PSP was v2.01 new, upgraded to v2.60 when I ran World Cup Fifa 2006.

Weird, mine upgraded to 2.71 when I wondered what the "Network Upgrade" optioned did. Spank, where did you find the version rollback?

**SpankMe** · 29th June 2006, 15:16

Firmware downgrade only works with 2.0. Screwed my PSP after downgrading and upgrading again. Took it back and got a replacement.

Brought Tomb Raider last week. Good game.

Spend most of the time positioning the camera to look down her top.

and her breasts heave as she breathes.

Thanks for that Spankme, maybe a hack will come out soon enough to downgrade it though
Damn it, now I have to go out and buy that game too.

**SpankMe** · 29th June 2006, 15:21

I doubt it. Might get the Undiluted Platinum modchip soon. But the bike needs some more stuff first.

**Sniper** · 29th June 2006, 15:27

I was thinking of ordering that from the US because my PSP is compatible with the chip where some aren't (Not the TN0875 [Or something like that] model). Just need to find someone with decent soldering skills then.

**skelstar** · 29th June 2006, 15:39

Well I solder for a living (and surf the net it seems) so i dont have any prob with doing that, but an issue for out of towners I guess.

As far as I can tell the modchip/boards costs about US$50? Haven't looked too hard for a source.

Thought I would update I what fun Ive been having my with PSP.

So I now own:

Fifa World Cup $89.95 - Very cool. Not that good at it, and am getting quite frustrated with myself not doing very well with it. Too many nil-all draws when playing semi-pro difficulty. Missing a 'practice' facility in the game. Very replayable though.

WRC $49.95 - have only played this a little, but is quite difficult. Was a smart-arse and tried to start on a hard level. Even novice is quite difficult. Bit preoccupied with soccer and Tiger Woods but will no doubt get around to it soon.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2006 $49.95 - Quite good. Analogue swings and putting. Graphics quite good. Kicked Mrs Doubtfires butt and theres quite a good pro-shop facility. Really enjoying it and was doing quite well, until I lost the save game for it. Nevermind. Quite replayable and not bored yet.

Playgear Playpocket (Orange) $22 - bought this on trademe (about half price new). Very cool. Dont really play games whilst using it but good for listening to music and transporting.

UMD Movie: Into The Blue $19.95 - Bought mainly to watch Jessica Alba

. Quite nice to watch movies on the PSP...might buy a couple more (Fifth Element if cheap).

Been playing around with compressing movies. Have a laptop so theres not too much advantge here. Top Gear episodes are fun to watch and to show off to like mind gadget freaks though. Music is nice to have on the PSP, but already own a Nano, so shouldnt invest too much in much larger sticks for more music.

www.perooz.com has some nice downloadable magazines. FHM, Stuff, some car mags etc. Very cool. Lots of babe-wallpaper type things if youre into that kinda thing

. Looking forward to trying to surf the net on the PSP soon. Getting signed up on Wednesday

Theres a firmwear downgradder for v2.62. Thought I would enjoy what i have before trying and potentially stuffing my toy up for good. Just incase I cock it up. Wont be modchipping it anytime soon.
