I have a psp, local edition. I bought the value pack when it was first release at that time i paid the standard $455 but since i knew the shop guy, he threw in free screen protector and 2 games plus some small free gifts.
If i'm not wrong now prices can get for less that 400 or even 380 if you know where to look, some shops still advertising at 405!! Dun be conned!!
1) memory- the 32mb memory pro is not enough. Get at least a 512 to 1Gb. Mine is 2GB which i bought it in june last year. At that time it wasn't available here and i had to import it from japan.
2) Sony converters- Dun bother buying at all, online can download. dun waste $29
3) Dun be conned by sales person, EVER! They say u will need this and that (for my friends case). If they show colour then just walk off.
