Current state of the PSP world (custom firmware)

About the downgrade, it was easy, I did it and it worked, so it was ok. About Lumines...if you wish to borrow it, I have the game. I could always mail it to you for you to use to downgrade

Looking at play.com they're doing Sony 2GB for £17.99 (£9/GB) or 1GB for £13.49 so with the 2nd GB costing just £4.50, it makes sense to go for the higher capacity.

That is indeed no big difference, I would also get the 2GB in your place. I never looked for memory sticks like this, but it seems they dropped a lot in price recently.

Memory sticks have definitely dropped in price a lot this year, although they are still more expensive than alternative flash memory such as SD cards which cost about half the price of Sony Memory Sticks.

BTW, if any of you are interesting in seeing more pictures of the new slim PSP and the documentation about it, someone on a PSP forum found this interesting link which contains PDFs of images and all of the specs of the new revised PSP. Quite a cool find.

Some nice pictures they have there.

Right got my PSP at last, firmware on it appears to be v2.71 (Firmware the same thing as system software I assume?).

Thats great, DONT UPDATE IT, ignore what any UMD says or Network Update.

Im sure someone can talk you through it. If not, arrange a time to meet up in chat and i will talk you through the process.

Harrison gave a link to this guide a while back. Just need to check the motherboard model and then I'll see how far I get with the guide.

Thats well outdated, mobo's dont matter now, as the downgraders should patch the mobo. Just make sure the downgrader you pick says it will patch the IPL
