Since my PSP-2000 made my old Plantronics PSP headset obsolete, I've been waiting for this to go on sale:

How much was it? I'm seeing $28.99 = $1.00 off.

Is the deal tonight?

Amazon 9pm EST Lighting Deal - PSP Headset for Skype

I saw that, but for me, CAG times are completely different from PST times. It's 7:00 AM here, and this was posted at 2:00 AM according to the OP.

How much of a discount do they usually put on the lightning deals? Also, how do you know it's this exact item? All I see is this description:

Upcoming Video Games Deal
Use this PSP accessory for in-game chat and around the world VOIP phone calls.

Doesn't matter. 9PM EST is 6PM for you. That's when it goes on sale. The time of the post means squat

Awesome, I've been waiting for this to be cheaper! Hopefully this won't conflict with the Jazz Festival I'll be attending around that time tonight...

Yup, the sale is at 6pm Pacific/9pm Eastern. Mountain and Central will just have to figure it out for themselves :)

And $28.99 is the current price, not the lightning deal price. I'm thinking it'll be in the $14.99 range.

I'm thinking of buying a PSP. Can anyone tell me, if I buy a 2000-series PSP is there a way for me to play backups on it and still use Skype?

Jack, can you elaborate a bit? Will I be able to downgrade my PSP and still run Skype, or will I need a modchip or something else?

No downgrading with the slim. Just use a pandora battery and magic memory stick to put CFW on it, and then upgrade to the latest which includes all OFW features, even skype. Then you can have the best of both worlds.

Good guide

You can buy a pandora battery btw, if you don't have access to a CFW PSP

I have an old Fat PSP, will this headset work on it?

It will only work on the slim PSPs, sorry.

It's selling now for $17.99 on Amazon! Get it while you can!

This thing looks cheap.
at $9.99, I might have gotten it.
at $17.99, it is seems like a horrible deal.

Meh, I've been waiting for this to drop from it's crazy $30 price point for a while. I'm in for one seeing as I'm going to use it!

Oh well looks like I'll wait a bit longer for the price to go down more.

I picked one up last night. I also wasn't interested in paying $30. Cheaper would have been better, but what the hell.

You may want to look around, I found this for $19.99 at Gamecrazy about a month ago. Not all carry it but, I called around and found one that did. $17.99 doesnt seem like that great of a deal.

Hahaha, a CAGer after my own heart. Yeah, I would have liked to only pay $9.99 for it, but what the hell.
