most of the shops in Sg Wang sells recon PSPs. some admits that it's recon while some don't. what happened to me was when I went to one of the shops there to buy PSP, I checked the serial number on the PSP with the one on the box, and found that it's not the same. I asked the seller how come it's not the same, he said 'haiya saya jual banyak sangat so tertukar box la semua'. heh, then when I open the battery cover, clearly there's a sticker that states 'REFURBISHED'. I showed the shop owner the sticker and said, 'what's this then?'. then he started to freak out, 'omg ini mesti supplier punya pasal'. heh now he's blaming the supplier. nampak sangat kantoi tipu, huhahaha. then I asked for a new one, non recon one, or else I'll go to other store. then only he went to search for a new one, lol.

anyway recon is not the same as 2nd hand. recon one usually looks super shiny like new, while 2nd hands don't.

maybe he wants to give it to his son so he won't kacau tot when he's playing psp hehe.

ps, there's no possibility of bricking if u keep launching HENC right? haha. makes me a bit scared.
