With the bank holiday on Monday it arrived this morning.
Properly packed in bubblewrap envelope with invoice attached.

Looks Genuine - but would like confirmation

Made in Japan - looks like the official logo's ect.

Thoughts?

 

[megabug7]

It's fake - won't boot up PSP slim and phat batteries should - Sent it back

Videogamesplus.ca sell the official battery and ship to Europe.

F*CK them.. I e-mailed them to verify, even added it to the comments section of my order and yet the ship fakes: check my links to pictures to check as well.

I'm in the Netherlands, what can I do? Oh man, this sucks so hard

 

[megabug7]

I did Jelbo

The (genuine) pictures look near enough like mine except mine is all in japanese

It charges ok but won't boot up

Tough luck guys

Videogamesplus.ca sell the official battery and ship to Europe.

This is really good, actually. Decently priced AND it already comes with two battery covers.

 

[megabug7]

I will try them.

I know the site. RELIABLE - haven't failed me yet.

Thanks a LOT! Great price, I ordered one. I'll be so mad if they're fake too

/edit 1: I e-mailed Datakits this:

Hello,

I ordered a PSP Stamina battery which is advertised as being an OFFICIAL SONY product.

However, a fellow buyer I know received a FAKE product (see http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=870...&p=1165234), so I will get a FAKE one too. Since you clearly advertise it as being OFFICIAL, and I even e-mailed you about it beforehand and explicitly informed you about it in the comments section of my order, I demand a full refund and refund for shipping costs back to you. I'll gladly throw away the battery as well, since it's rather useless being a fake. As told in my order comments, I'll also initiate a PayPal dispute. My order number is XXXXXX.

Regards,

~Jelle

Got a surprisingly quick reply:

/edit 2: Tough luck x2, it appears to be an auto reply; I got the same thing again after replying to them. I thought it sounded a little weird.

What will happen if I reject the package? Or would it fin in my mailbox? Fission, did you have to sign for it? I guess so. If I need to send it back I'll get owned on the shippings costs. Ugh, I hate lying sellers.

/edit 3: the joy just doesn't end today. I ordered and paid (using PayPal) the PSP Extended Life Battery Kit from Videogameplus.ca, but THE ORDER ISN'T REGISTERED! My order history is empty, PSP battery's still in my basket and my money's gone. WTF. I e-mailed them through the contact form. Fucking shit, this fucking battery's gonna cost me a hundred dollars if tings continue like this.

 

[megabug7]

Dang I got error when clicked on add reply.

I didn't have to sign for it - but I'm not sure what the deal is internationally
You must claim back the postage through Paypal dispute thingie if they don't offer you a refund for returning the package.
Also send it back recorded/registered and obtain proof of posting.

I'm very surprised with the incident on vgp.ca - I've been buying for years there never come across that.

Good luck

This time I'll wait for you to receive yours lol

Found this one for the PSP-slim, it's UK but they ship to Europe

It's been confirmed on another forum that this battery is the genuine article

That's a 1200mAh battery, and they only sell the 1800mAh official Sony battery, not the 2200mAh I'm after.

I got an e-mail from Videogamesplus.ca that they indeed got the payment, they registered the order and will ship soon. Phew

As for the Datakits battery, I guess I'll accept it so I can at least prove the battery is fake, and then file a dispute. What a bunch of monkeys at Datakits, the can ship the battery but not check their e-mail and order comments.

Can anyone link me the PSP extended battery for slim in the vgp.ca website? I cant seem to find it in the website.

Greatly appreciate your help.

 

[jelbo]

They've been pulled off the website, maybe they're just sold out? Kind of fishy again..

Its back up on vgp.ca now.

Do you mind posting some picture once you received your item. I just wanna see how does the new cover looks like on the slim psp. And a comparison for the original and extended battery life will be helpful too.

Will do. I've got a silver PSP Slim&Lite now, I guess an official Sony silver big battery cover would look perfect on it

 

[megabug7]

I'm happy with the slim battery I bought http://www.smallbattery.company.org.uk/sbc_psps110.htm

It's 100% official.

Uuhmm, lol? Wasn't the whole point to get a 2200mAh battery instead of the standard 1200mAh one supplied with Slim&Lite's?

 

[megabug7]

Heh

Yes, and as you know I bought a fake phat one. (And you did also)
That was the 4th battery I bought which was fake. (all refunded except the datakits)

So I decided to just by an original Slim - I don't really need an extended battery because it's usually running off the charger.

Just a quick question, if i run my psp with power supply but without my battery on, will it have any side effect?
