Welcome to PSPBrew.com!
Buying a PSP means a chance of getting a high firmware which could not be hackable.
I don't think Sony is using that "letter" thing on the box so I dont think you can tell what the firmware
is until its opened. Anyways enjoy the site.

THx for the welcome guys!!! i noticed on ebay they mention the firmware #'s does that help @ all? is there a # i should look for?

[DarkPacMan77]

Any firmware 3.03 and lower will do.

Thx darkpacman77! if I do get a firmware low enough is there a suggested dl from this site etc that I should look @ to allow me to play bac up games?
Some units on ebay claim to be region free with movies and games, can these units except dl games straight up?
Again if I am wasting ur time please just point me to another thread, I just am short of time and would appreciate a quick list of how to do this!

thx again..
