Let me start out by saying this. HOLY SHIT!!!! U guys were right about this thing. It's just so amazing. Now let me get to the point of this post. I bought my psp at an EBX in a local mall. I was gonna do some trade-in's but they only offered 6 bux for 5 games. (more on this later). I go in there, buy the psp and I'm on the way home in the car with my friend driving. I carefully check to make sure that there are no dead pixels, and then I noticed that this was a PSP 1001k. They've already put out version 1001? I thought that the original units were 1000k. Anyways, further inspection leads me to find that they have pulled the Spidey 2 UMD from the boxes, and now the only thing in with the system is a worthless umd that shows demo videos...non-playable. I pay 250 just like everyone else, and they can't even throw spidey into the second shipment. That just really pissed me off.

Now about those games I tried to trade in. I brought in 5 GC titles (Beach Spikers, Cel Damage, Home Run Kings, SSX Trick, and Star Wars: Rogue Leader). When I called the guy on the phone told me that he couldn't give me an exact trade-in value but could give me a ballpark guesstimate. For each game he mentioned 3-4 bux, except for Cel Damage which was 6. I figured that if I could even cover tax with these games I don't even play anymore, I would be set. I get to the store and the guy behind the counter says....a buck each, except cel damage that's two. I couldn't believe this bullshit. I go to college in Virginia, but I'm from Long Island. On Long Island, I call an EB and they actually type it into the computer and give me a price....these fuck-offs ruined my day. Random I know, but this really just pissed me off.
 
*looks at stickied official PSP US launch thread*

But yeah, that sounds weird. I doubt they're hitting second shipment units already. I think all US PSPs are 1001k, so I doubt it's that yours is a second shipment. Does it mention the spiderman2 umd on the box anywhere? I'd bring it back if it does, and there was no spidey 2 umd in the box..

Actually I thought it was common knowledge that the second shipments did indeed ship this week. Nope, no mention of Spiderman on the box....I might complain to SCEA and hope they swing me a copy.
 
If the box didn't even mention a Spidey 2 UMD, why would SCEA care? I thought the included movie was for the first million PSPs only?
 
All US value packs sold are 1001k and the Spiderman 2 UMD was an extra pack-in only for the first million shipped, Sony made that very clear.

yeah, complaining will get you no where. Only the first million PSPs shipped with Spider-Man, so I guess we know for a fact now that the second shipment is definitely out there :P

Japan is 1000, US is 1001, Europe will be 1002. No idea about Korea and the other launches coming up. You should have traded in the Home Run Kings and Cel Damage.. GameStop would probably give you the 3-4 dollars for the others.
 
Does the no "I bought a"/"I sold my" threads rule still exist?

There was a time when we used to get one of these threads it seemed like every few days and then the rule went into effect and it stopped but now its ramped back up again.

This belongs in the official thread IMO.

alright I understand that there is the official thread, and I wasn't aware of this "I bought/I sold" rule. Let me ask a quck question...I will post this in the official thread as well. When I got the psp it didn't have any dead/stuck pixels. Now after playing it for 2 days I've found 2 pixels, one of which is stuck/dead, the other just appears when there is a dark background...like the loading screen. Will these go away....or am I "stuck" with these pixels? :)
