I'm a cheap guy. I went for the $20 Mad Catz components I found at the local game store. Very impressed so far. Colors are bright and bold and the picture is much more clear. Cables didn't really "feel" cheap either. Overall, I'm satisfied.
Why are these PSPs going for so much? Is there something special about these versions of the PSP? I'd like to know because I will soon be selling my PSP and if I can get some extra cash for mine that would be great(though knowing my luck, it probably won't happen :) )
There are a few more listings on ebay, but on all of these auctions I can't find anything noting why they are so much more valued.
I don't know about you guys but it annoys the piss out of me when I feel I have wasted my time for no good reason. So Gamestop/EB Games and I have a history which starts with $17 worth of trade in credit disappearing and no manager assistance, thus I am out $17 worth of traded in game credit.... Long story. Anyhow, I made the mistake of thinking that a modern company like Gamestop would have a real time inventory tracking software package that can update the website. I check the website for in store availability for The Darknessand it says my local store has plenty like 5+ copies in stock. Cool, now if it said it had like 1 or 2 copies I would have called ahead but I am thinking they got plenty no worries. So I drive 15 minutes to the mall where the EB store is. I look at the wall and no luck, so i think maybe they have it in the new release case behind the counter. Well no luck there either. The guy behind the counter I talk to informs me that they have a bunch of copies but they are for pre-orders, OK great this isn't Halo 3 for God's sake. Your website says you have a bunch of copies available, I drive to your store to find out they are already reserved, say what? I know my buddy behind the counter is basically a minimum wage earner who works at this store for the discount more than anything so I don't fire him up too much but damn it annoys me when I waste my time like this. Maybe it is just me but if the small retail establishment I work for can afford software that keeps up to the minute inventory on our website why can't a huge nation wide chain spend a bit of coin and get a system that omits products that are unavailable because they have been reserved.rwoot
Don't get pissed off because you can't blame anyone but yourself for not taking the proper precautions of CALLING AHEAD! It even says that on their site. It's a new release. Think about it, if it's not too much strain.
the gamestop/eb stores only had 8 or 16 available for pre-order is so that they CAN guarantee pre-orders, unlike what happened with the 360. Only if Sony screws up again will people leave the stores empty handed, but for the time being, Sony's allocation to EB/GS has been set.
