Hey all.
So, here's my predicament. Basically, I'm going to be getting a PSP soon, and I've been having a lot of trouble deciding on what PSP to get. I don't like any of the color models offered here in the States: the black one is too easily smudged, the white one has Vader on it (and I'm not that into Star Wars), and the silver just looks kinda cheapy to me. I've fallen in love with the Felicia Blue PSP. And this is where things get complicated.
Play-Asia's recently raised the price of all their import PSPs by $10, bringing the total price to $230. Adding in the $27 shipping fee, and the total is basically $260, which is horrifically expensive. To make matters worse, I actually have $20 in Amazon gift cards waiting to be used -- meaning I could pick up a black PSP for $150 or the Daxter bundle for $180 (and the kicker is I have Daxter and a memory stick, so I don't need any of that stuff.)
So, do I pay an exorbitant fee, but get the color I really want, or do I get one of the much cheaper, stateside bundles, but end up with a color I don't care for at all? What are your thoughts, guys?
I was also wondering, if anyone here has an import PSP, what you guys think about it? Are there any headaches associated with having a PSP from another region? Is there anything I need to be aware of in regards to warranty (how do I replace if it has a dead pixel, etc.), updating firmware, or the like?
Thanks for any input you guys can give.
