I was wondering if I should register my psp, and if not, what the disadvantages are.
Just so you know, I have a PSP with official firmware (  ) but I hope to buy an extra battery sometime in the future and try the soldering method to make my own pandora (out of the original battery). |

i am sure dq9, dorkdork, or jsf can better answer these q's. that i swhat i remember.

1. If your PSP gets stolen/lost, Sony knows who the real owner is (you may be able to retrieve it, who knows).
2. Warranty benefits.
3. Freebies from Sony (as mentioned by gdspsp, demos and the like).
Not registering won't due anything for you either. So I suppose it's better to get registered, since there is no reason not to... AFAIK.
Btw, long time no see PSP3D guys, thought I'd drop by, glad to see all is still well here..!

And you guys spilled it out for us. I personally never registered my PSP so I wouldn't know, but I'm sure some one on the site did. |

ASnyway i see no disadvantages to registering. Just advantages like johnnyoo listed and thanks gdspsp for mention us by name

Thanks for all the quick replies. I figured that there wasn't any problem with it but I thought I'd go ahead and ask. |

Points: 354.50 Donate | | I registered my first PSP, and got a free Spiderman 2 UMD (this was a while ago), then I registered my next PSP (which I traded my old PSP for - Pandora didn't exist at the time) and got a free UMD case. I see no downsides, only free stuff.  |
