Starting next month, Sony is offering a new PSP "Giga Pack" for $299. It includes:
-
1GB Memory Stick PRO Duo
-
battery pack
-
AC adaptor
-
USB cable
-
new PSP stand
-
firmware 2.0
By our reckoning, the only thing that you're really getting here as a bonus is a PSP stand and a gig of memory on a Memory Stick. The stand is a throw-in, so figure you're saving about $25 to $40 on the memory depending on where you shop. Well, Sony is also saving you a step in your efforts to downgrade to 1.5 for homebrew by preloading 2.0 on the system (current PSPs ship with OS version 1.52, which has to be upgraded to 2.0 then downgraded to 1.50 for homebrew).
