Buying a used PSP fail.

[Loren Littlejohn]

I seem to be doing this a lot lately ("teh failz").

Why is it when you buy a used hand held system it's almost impossible to get one in anything but "used by a stupid middle schooler" condition?

There were 2 lites to choose from:

A red one with a rather fucked up screen and a sticker on the back, so I passed.

A black one with a better looking screen, so I went with this one.

The UMD I bought looks like it's in good shape so I'm willing to bet that it's the PSP not the UMD.

The PSP won't read the UMD. uke:


So at the end of this rant I just would like to say: "fuck all the little kids who go trade their fucked up shit in for something else that mom and dad are willing to shell out for."

I promise you if you ever buy/trade shit from me you won't be able to tell the difference between used and new. My DS lite was in immaculate shape when I got rid of it.

Sold mine a while ago. It's quite a bitch to keep that screen mint when you're travelling with it a lot, must admit that. But fucking up the UMD-slot/reader? And people still sell that? Jeez...

Are you sure it's really jacked? Does it have the original firmware on it? If not, there might just be a bogus setting with the custom firmware/recovery system...

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

No it was jacked. Took it back got a blue one and all is well.

Who uses UMD anyway? Hack the fucker, put a custom firmware and grab the isoz. The best thing about PSP are the emulators anyway.
I use a Hori screen protector on mine and it´s perfect.

Yep, didn't get a mem card yet (such a moron that I am).

I'm getting one at best buy tomorrow with my brothers sweet discount. He got be 2 HDMI cables, and a light pipe cable (all that shit was $114) for $12.

So tomorrow I has the memory card.

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

I forgot to put in the OP that this was purchased today. The new psp rocks.

 

[narcossintese]

Just remember to buy an original Sony Memory Stick Duo. There are lots of fake ones and they suck (are slower and sometimes corrupt data for no reason).

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

Naw fuck that, san disk from best buy for the winz.

 

[JBroll]

SanDisk perhaps, but Best Buy is nowhere near 'winz' at all and must burn.

Well I had a gift card so it would have been silly IMO to get it any other way. I grabbed an 8 gig for $20 with my brothers discount.

This is why there is an 8" hunting knife 2 feet away from me at all times when dealing with craigslist fucktards.

What? You mean like if your visiting someone to see their shit and it's crap? Or if they sell you something bunk?

Or you talking wierdos that come to your place to buy something?


All I'm saying is a big fuck you to the parents that hawk their kids broken fucked up shit, only so later on I can purchase said items uke:

 

[JMarz]

Just incase they try to sell me any stolen/messed up shit. And for the weirdos that come over to buy various equipment I sell
