With a pandora setup you have the option to install the original firmware. Also, now that 4.00 is out I'm sure you can download the sony update from the website and install that hastle free.

If you're going to trade for a new one, I'd suggest you:

Leave it at 3.90M33, and when you get the new one, Pandorize its battery on the old one.

I guess rox's idea isn't bad as long as you have the spare cash to buy a 2nd psp without the trade in.

say you can do a trade in for 60$ a new psp costs 170$ So if you are dependant on the 60$ trade in in order to get the new psp then you cant keep the old one to use to pandorize the battery.

It only takes 3 seconds to pandorize a battery. This was for if the New PSP was being bought, and the old one being sold. At the same time.

Yah i've always thought that the 50$ trade in is a major rip-off. I would try to sell it to a friend or something
