Since i'm in nbtd mode, i will help answer some questions..

1) Glossy black is nice. but if you dont wear any case, your psp will full of fingerprint.

2) of coz latest fw is better.

3) wrong. any OE can run no-umd mode but not all game supported. even with latest fw: 3.51m33.

4) yes, you can play ps1 game on psp but not ps2.

5) any mobo is fine.

6) Depends on how careless you are..

7) If you want slim, lighter and have tv-output features, please wait.

8) no comment since my psp wearing silicone case since week 1.

9) I think dead pixel is not covered by warranty especially when you are buying from gameshop not from sony.

10) case and screen protector. browse here for psp case

please correct me if i'm wrong..

anyway, what's the different buying locally or from SG? SG also got china-made item. Its all depends on the shop. Some local shop is trustable.

fw 1.5 is a fw to install custom fw. this fw has no no-umd mode at all. what i mean is, on OE fw, there's a mode called no-umd. but not all game compatible. some still need UMD to play from memory stick. is it clear now? sorry for my broken english..

Like LCD monitor, dead pixel is only happened to some of unlucky user. the chances are low. dont worry, u can check for it 1st at the gameshop before buying. reject if u spot any dead pixel.

for game check IGN for reviews.

dead pixel is black in colour. others is known as stucked pixel. u cant detect dead pixel on fully black screen.

i tot only 480p?

maybe the 480p is umd movie format... argg, dah bercampur aduk info2 ni...
