What usb cable should I buy?

[J7.]

I was just wondering what PSP usb cable I should buy in terms of cost/useability/reliability.

Not sure it matters. All you need is a "USB Mini-B" cable and it'll get the job done. Don't have to by a pricy once either. You can go to a RadioShack or camera shop and they should have some for cheap.

Monoprice.com always has the best prices on cable, I bought mine from there when I had a PSP.

I just use the same cable that I use for my digital camera. I also bought one of those USB-to-charge cables for $5 at a local game store. Now I don't even use the included AC charger as it is quite large and bulky.

What about this for an extra $7? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7799331&type=product&id=1142292390344

And will this cable fit into the PSP? It's only 89 cents I wonder if its toxic, its from China http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812119033

I wonder if its worth paying more for one from a store?

That usb cable from newegg won't work its a different type, and concerning the media manager usb combo I don't know about the cable but if you want a media manager you can get the sony one for free, just search on google

The USB cable from the PS3 works pretty darn well...

Yes, but Datel's media manager rips DVDs, Sony's does not. I wish someone owned the Datel one so we could get insider info.

I recommend this one from Deal Extreme:

Charges PSPs, DSs, Ipods, and functions as a mini USB cable. Only $7.30 shipped.

This one looks awesome but I've never heard of Deal Extreme and if they're good/safe to buy from. Monoprice looks nice. But I'll probably have to buy the usb cable at B&M store. Anyone know which B&M store to buy from or what usb cable in a B&M store to buy?

 

[eastx]

Well, I ordered from Deal Extreme last week, so I'll update when the stuff comes.

When I worked at FutureShop, the canadian equivilent of BestBuy, cost ona 6' USB cables was $1.87, and we charged $19.99. Commission was $5 on that item, while I only made $1.25 off of the $130 printer I sold you.

Beware B&M prices on cables.
