Wow, that's impressive.

So I've been contemplating about whether or not I should get a PSP Go. I head off to the game store to see if (maybe) they had game demos out, and they don't.

The thing is, I noticed a pre-owned PSP Go for 50 bucks. I decided that, "Hell, it's almost as cheap as a game, so why not?". I buy it, and that's when things take a turn for awesome.

First off, I find out it wasn't used before. Ever. Apparently, someone just peeled the tape off the box and returned it, and poor Gamestop couldn't tell the difference. It was even still wrapped.

Second, it's a launch model PSP Go, and it has firmware 5.70 on it. YESH. Now I can hack it and run ISO loaders and shtuff. Can't wait.



All-in-all, I learned a lesson: "Gamestop is retarded." Now I just need to learn how to hack this bad boy.

I just don't know how to hack it.

The "How to mod your PSP" sticky doesn't cover PSP Gos, and the "Hacking/Modding FAQ" tells that it CAN, but doesn't tell HOW.
 
Lucky you... If only I can be as lucky, my PSP is in pretty bad condition... :3
 
[quote name='SifJar' post='3398639' date='Jan 17 2011, 05:06 PM']Wow, that's a pretty sweet deal. That's like £30-35 in real money.[/quote]
Real money? lol
 
lmfao , nice find . if i come across a PSP Go for that price , i'd buy it all the way :3
5.70 OFW ? i believe they've developed HEN for 6.20 and 6.35 [then there are those inbetween firmwares such as 6.31 etc].

check out this site for all your info about HEN : http://wololo.net/wagic/tn-hen-6-20/

i believe you have to go upgrade to 6.20, but it never hurt to double check + search . maybe even check the Wololo forms too .
 
How did you find one for only $50? Your local Gamestop sells it for $50 used? Doesn't Gamestop have to follow what is on there website for what they sell?

Apparently they were really desperate. They were selling PS2s for 40 bucks.


I'm not sure exactly why.

Wow I called my local Gamestop and they were selling it for $100. I told them one of my friends bought it for $50 from a gamestop and they said that is impossible.
