Anyone bought a PSP off overstock lately?

[Gigamaster89]

If so, what firmware and what motherboard?

I'm highly considering returning mines:

3 Dead Pixels
Backlit Blotches
Crap motherboard
2.6 Firmware

I am pretty sure you can't return it to overstock. You would have to send it in to sony.

I got in on the 170 deal. They sent me a refurb I think, seal was broken and resealed. Crappy ta082 motherboard. and 2.6. sucks. thats all i gotta say.

I emailed, complained, bitched, whined.

Since it was defecting, they are letting me return or exchange free of charge.

I got one from Overstock as well - no noticeable dead pixels, luckily. I don't think mine was a refurb, but it did come with 2.6 firmware and that TA-082 motherboard. I'm guessing a lot of the newer-bought PSPs have it.

I have been out of the psp loop for awhile now, what difference does the motherboard make?

TA-082 motherboard = cant use modchips/cant use FW downgraders
It can still run homebrews with GTA glitch with the right FW.
