SCEE: We didn't recall Netherlands' PSP supply |
Ó
This is a follow-up to our report the other day that Sony recalled all of Netherlands PSP supply because of plans to replace them with "unflashable ones." Despite many confirmations from various sources and even testaments from QJ.net readers, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe's Nick Sharples maintained that no such thing occurred. While the SCEE Director of Corporate Communications admitted that there's a supply issue in the said region, Sharples commented that this is due to an increase in demand brought about by recent price cuts.
He even referred to a recent statement by David Reeves where the official uttered that PSP sales have surged by 40% across the PAL region. The following are Nick Sharples' exact statements about the matter,
Following the recent price cut of PSP, sales have increased dramatically and retail stocks are temporarily low, which is why some of your readers may be finding it difficult to source a PSP at the moment. There is nothing wrong with the PSP, in the Netherlands or anywhere else...
Lastly, when the homebrew scene was brought up and asked about Sony's official stance, Nick Sharples simply declined to comment.

It could be they are just denying it that they only want PSP's with "unflashable" firmware in the shops.
BTW Smash Court Tennis 3 demo at: http://www.pspimages.net/pspdemos.php
Would it be possible to say unconfirmed sometimes for news? Why would he lie so as not to hurt the modders? Stupid crap!
If it was to be unflashable, how would it be updated?
pff this whole month psp's are low on stock here (NL). Only white or pink (eww) ones are available
i have thinked the same thing
they might have changed somehow updates are done
lets say only updating via umd, so no access from memory stick, or only updating via a network update...and locking the ms map or format to only allow psp default folders to be used...
I think Sony will always "try" and limit homebrew, particularly when it comes to piracy, but they know homebrew sells PSPs. It's like the tobacco companies trying to stop people from smoking.
sony made a recall no doubt about it there are no psp to find for 4 weeks now and stil not (beside the pink one's) i am looking for a second psp to get and i can't find a black psp after making several calls
retailers comfirmed the recall that sony made.
Anyone with connections to a Dutch retail store, please scan the Sony document asking for the SKUs to be returned to Sony and upload it to rapidshare, etc. Then come back here and post the url please!
i went into my local stock supplier and found that the box psp had no sticker on the side so i didnt know what fw would b on my psp so i didnt buy 1. looked on ebay and brough a 1.5 white one cheaper. sony u sneaky basterd
HEy ummm the guy that wants a black psp i got 1 if u wana buy it
all the talk about this new psp got me kinda angry cuz now i flipen have to buy another psp to be in style again
Maybe the shop Game Mania still has one?
I'm wondering why there is no recall for the pink psp? Because nobody wants it?
lol i live in " The Netherlands " but y00 can buy plenty psp`s where i live:P the gu who sells them is buying them from every F****** countryXD
first off updating is done via umd and network... and 2nd off why if you got the basic psp with no memory stick they u would have a bricked psp?!
