Almost tempted, but has there been any word on the redesign.

Almost tempted, but has there been any word on the redesign.

All news has been strictly rumor, and Sony themselves deny the rumors time and time again. If you want a PSP, I'd say just go for it...the free battery deal is even better than get a free greatest hits game that some stores offer.

Is this online only? I need to buy one B&M. Whats the battery life of the extra battery, and doesnt hte PSP come with a battery?

It's an online deal only but you should be able to place an order online for in-store pickup if you want to avoid shipping fee or pick your own PSP with a particular firmware revision for downgrade.

The PSP system comes with a standard battery which is 1800mAh, I believe. The free battery pack is 2200mAh, which holds a bit more charge and last longer.

Ah, I cant purchase under credit cards. Great deal though. You think if I go to bestbuy they really will be willing to let me pick my own psp? OR should I try my luck at target instead, since I think they have them in glass cases...?

I don't know. Perhaps you can buy a giftcard in the store and use it online. If the instore kiosk lets you, order it there with the giftcard for in-store pickup (sounds stupid since you're already in the store).

Or, just check with the store manager and see if s/he can match the deal for you since you don't have a CC to take advantage of the deal online.

When you pick up your PSP in the store, explain that you want to pick a firmware revision. Most of the time they will let you if you're nice about it. The firmware revision is coded outside the box, so you don't have to open the box.

The box codes can be found here.

Thats true, but are tehy going to go back there and find one with a certain letter on it? I doubt it...

Is this the best deal I'm going to find on a PSP for the time being (likely anyways?). Also, can't you downgrade with Lumines now anyways, so it's no longer an issue what firmware you start out with?

[moo]

This is a good deal. Thanks.

Looks like the downgrader from 3.50 is now available!

Wow this is an amazing deal and I may just jump on it, anyone know how long this deal is active or does it expire tonight?

[Edge]

That's a really nice deal, the extra battery has around 20% more life than the standard one, and with 2 you can just swap it out when one gets low.

NM, deal is now dead no longer on their site, should have bit when I saw it, guess I'll have to wait for a different CAG deal.
