Ummm...yea. We already knew this is what happens when you send your PSP's to SONY for a repair... :wink:

Noticed I warned someone on another thread that sending in their bricked 1.5 would mean SONY would return them a 2.8+.

thehox · 10-16-2006, 07:38 PM

Well I was more reffering that in stores they are now sending 2.81.
So if you plan on purchasing or perhaps a friend they might want to wait.
:S

dirtbikr6288 · 10-16-2006, 07:49 PM

Wait for what? A later firmware to come out that will be even harder on homebrew... :?

All we can do now is try to find a box in the store that doesn't have an L on the UPC. The only thing is...in most stores you don't even have access to the PSP boxes. You get whatever the guy behind the counter gives you.

bamhm182 · 10-17-2006, 04:33 AM

Well than look at the box, and than if it's an L, ask for one without an L on it... Most places I know of will do that, if they don't refuse to buy it, than they should... I wonder what'll happen when they have 26 FWs, they'll run out of letters than...

Hmm, what would i want a brick or a PSP?

pspnegro · 10-17-2006, 08:36 PM

Yeah, I sent mines in anyway (I had the bricked PSP) I mean, it's better than nothing. I think i'll just sell it. I mean, I already was ablt purchase an already downgraded PSP, so it's not that big of a deal.

pspnegro · 10-19-2006, 08:49 PM

Yup, got it today (fast turnaround) and it is 2.8, not 2.81.

When oh when are they gonna come out with a downgrader for 2.8?

thehox · 10-19-2006, 10:03 PM

If we knew. it wouldnt be scary... only time will tell my friend. when we know. ull know.

dirtbikr6288 · 10-20-2006, 02:31 AM

And as soon as they release one, do yourself a favor and don't rush to the site and try it. I'd give it atleast 2 weeks to see the amount of bricks it's had.

SONY, would definately suspect something in that case,
