| | |  Where to get a PSP?
Hey guys,
I'm new to PSPs but I'd like to get one before I go for a half-month long vacation in the spring. I'm just wondering where I should get a PSP from.
The local Wal Mart has it for $199.99
On eBay they're as low as $183.00
Should I just go with the one from Wal Mart in case I have to return it? It's going to be $17 more expensive, which to me is almost three hours of pay. Any insights on this?
Thanks |

But then again, three hours of pay is a lot of time. Depends on where you work! 
Since homebrew is basically available on all firmwares, there's no real reason to use eBay (if you are looking for that). |

I'd say Walmart. No risk, besides firmware.
