How to tell wat PSP your are getting

I remember a while go somewher on her or some else there was a link to a forum or guide to use to tell wat PSP FW you r getting by lookin at the box. I lost the link to it so I was wondering if any1 still had the link to it or something similar to it. Cause I can't find mine I had. Or if any1 knows how to tell which is a 1.5 or ne other FW. I kno it has somethin to do w/ the letter/numbers on the box.

So...
  • A-K = Can be downgraded with no need for further purchases (excl. MS and USB cable)
  • L-N = Can be downgraded only with a copy of GTA: LCS with the 2.00 update on the disc.
  • O and over = No downgrade at the present time.
