PSP BlackPSP White


Italian site Divineo has dropped a bomb of a news for us. They are selling a PSP Gaming Kit with firmware version 1.5. It couldn't have been any more timely, what with downgraders/downdaters popping everywhere that has produced a few PSP casualties from less-careful/less-fortunate owners; wouldn't you want to just have your very own untainted one?

As far as babelfish's translation goes, here's what you're getting inside the kit:
  • The PSP Regular Pack ITA Version 1,50
  • Caps Stereo with retraibile cable
  • One memory stick FOR PAIR Sandisk "Gaming" from 2Gb!
  • a semi-rigid Sheath in order to transport the Consul (Console I guess?).
  • One transparent protecting film for the screen of the PSP.
The black one sells for 299.99 € (384.62 USD) while the white one is a little bit more pricey at 349.99 € (448.72 USD). They are also offering an "LCD Verification Program" to check whether the screen is in good condition or not for 9.99 € (12.81 USD). Just take note that since it's an Italian version, the warranty is applicable only for Sony centers in Italy. So, if you want to save yourself the trip, handle your new purchase with the utmost care.

Via divineo

This would be nice...but, i rather stick to updates on when people actually will find a downgrader from 2.7.

WAY TO EXPENSIVE

» Hmm.

It's bundled with a 2 gig memstick, so if you take the price of the PSP (250$) and the memstick itself(130$), it adds up to the same. They are far better online deals than this tho.

wouldn't mind a white one.....

by Tooplex - 2006-07-09 02:39

To expensive and has been downgraded so you wont be able to do stuff on it that you would do useually with a proper one or a 2.0 downgraded like mine!

you can find the 2gb for >(

by Scorpi0 - 2006-07-09 02:51
» PSP

The white one is *****ing ugly. The black one has much more style. And it's not expensive because a psp is 250€ value pack and a 2 gb stick is 100€

by eggwonder - 2006-07-09 02:54
» huh?

what cant a downgraded 1.5 do that a normal 1.5 can?



i took spanish class and i can sorta read the stuff on that site... but the prices are too high anyway so there is almost no point in buyin anything from the site.



btw anybody know of a site that sells rear casing parts of a japanese psp(the white one, and i mean all of the parts on the back of the psp)

they probally downgraded them using dark_alex's tools lol

"This Pack was made for Iso Loaders"



Only Iso Gamers need a 2GB memory stick!

by Alex - 2006-07-09 03:02

This is straight up for ISO use. They might as well sell a DVD full of hacked ISO's with the set.

Get this AD off the blog. There is nothing I see that even says you get a "virgin" PSP. These people are probably just using exploits our hard working devs have come up with to downgrade new PSPs and make money!



C'mon guys!

That's just what I was thinking. They probably just took their current stock of PSPs and downgraded them. Just kinda funny how they just happen to have a bunch of 1.5 PSPs in stock after the downgrader comes out. Still that isn't a bad deal but I've seen 4gb memory chips at SuccessHK for $147 I'm thinking about getting one of them soon.

To think I got an exact same 2gb mem stick for $40 Australian in Hong Kong, and it ISNT fake!!!

by Prey - 2006-07-09 03:24
» Good kit imho

It's difficult to find a 1.50, Downgraded OR not.

The most interesting thing is their "LCD Verification Program", to have a dead/burnt pixel free LCD.

One last thing:

The warranty is valid in all european countries.

NOT only in italy, they wrote:

"it's possible to use the warranty even in all Europe countries"

I've read the desription of the offer.

The ceramic white psp is more expensive because is the value pack edition.

The black psp is in the standard edition.

If you need someone that translate for you from italian to english, call me ;)

» making a buck off someone else´s work

Ya sure. its good that anyone can now pick up a 1.5 but the only thing that I find wrong is that everyone now is going to be capitalizing off of Dark Alex,Math. and I think it was yoshiro or psppet, work. Those are the guys that should get something for their hard work. hope you guys got some donations.

How is it news stealing? Just because they report something too. I guess once one site report on something no other site can. By your logic CNN is stealing news if they report on the same thing as Fox news.

» Other translation

The other item is a REGULAR PSP NOT a VALUE like the ceramic white one.

and the description content are identical except for the PSP (regular Black instead of Value pack Ceramic white)

that's all :)

» go pengunio

nahh kinda pointless now with the downgrader. You can just run to walmart and keep switching out the psp's till you find one that can be downgraded. So that 200$, and i got a 2gb memorystick of ebay for 50$ + GTA:LCS $50.



so for 300 bucks you have a brand new 1.5 psp with a great game and huge memory.



that site is a rip off

by meh - 2006-07-09 04:23
» hummm

here in my country(brazil) all PSPs for sale are still 1.5(i guess they don't sell to much) but they are way to expensive(about $500) luckly i imported mine from japan

by Manias - 2006-07-09 04:28
» cheapass

lol too bad that 1.5 ITA don't EXIT.. they just downgraded a couple of 2.x's

by Annonymous Coward - 2006-07-09 04:46
» The more the better!!

As long as there are 1.5 psp's around it means a bigger potential of devs being able to have access to one whether it is new, second-hand or downgraded.



As for Dark Alex, Booster and the other Devs not getting anything for their hard work, they will get something.



I am sure many people will donate, myself included and they will never be forgotten either.



With that 1.5 package, at least someone wouldn't have to worry about what Motherboard their Psp had in it and you know it will be compatible with the Modchip.

I got a 2gb offical stick for £15 (dno what that works out at in $ but its cheep) from my friend, who i think should be sent to a mental home!!!

Yeah, except the post here doesn't have any affiliate links in it - DCEmu just posted it as an ad, QJ's posting it as news.



And do you go around making note of all the news DCEmu "steals" from QJ? Didn't think so. Just because someone has it up first doesn't mean its "stolen"... chill out.

I have 4gb and don't have any isos. It's called movies, mp3s, pictures etc.

hey man thats not incredible 1.5's are now common again so you cant say its incedible

by emericaska8r - 2006-07-09 07:27
» ha

yea, with the downgrader for 2.6's, i now already have a 1.5 . I think that if you upgraded past 2.6, you probably wouldn't care about homebrew or something, but for some people i guess this is still benificial.

Those prices are horrible lmao. You're better off buying a psp off ebay and buying all the stuff seperately.

by psp_hunter - 2006-07-09 09:01
» well im looking for a white psp 1.5...

...but even that's a ripoff! I'd really rather buy the psp with the modchip instead. Or ebay (in which i still don't trust because of all those ebay scammers) or even riskin a 2.6 risk at Lik-Sang (plz tell me that they didn't reach the 2.7 batches yet). And plus, how the hell do we know that this is a trusted site? Ive never even heard of this site, lol!

Did bought my PSP 1.5 one week before the 2.0 downgrade came out, and my MS some days before the price drop came. So I did pay about ~$500 for the PSP and MS Sandisk 2gb.



So I think this one is a great deal. Hehe

those head phones stink so bad i threw them in the trashcan.

THose are the most horrible headphones ever. Its like its designed so your psp can be a heavy mp3 player.

1: its too much for a psp, even if you be be a yarr on it



2: why is a homebrew news blog spamming stores (overpriced ones at that)? stop doing favors for "friends" and get back to the real news please.

by GiveHaste - 2006-07-09 10:31
» "untainted"?

How do you know that they didn't downgrade a bunch of higher firm psp's to obtain these "1.5's"? As for the prices, no thanks. I would rather just go buy that POS they call a game and downgrade, then save over a hundred.

Alot of words in Spanish and Italian are very similar or the same. I also took a few years of Spanish in high school and can figure out some of the Italian because of that.
