I think $100 for an "old" PSP is a great deal. especially with all the extras. Consider how much you would have paid separately. I personally don't see that much of a difference between the old and new PSPs- not enought to make me want to trade mine in anyway. Considering "old" PSPs are $168 retail, $100 is a steal- even for just a PSP and the charger.

Devoo- is he going to give you a Memory stick? You can't save games without one. A 52mb one should come standard with PSPs- that's enough for a lot of gamesaves.

Let me tell you about the deal I got. I bought my PSP on ebay slightly used. This is risky, since some people might cheat you by never delivering, or the PSP may not be in the best condition, but most sellers are honest. I paid $150 for a PSP, charger, 52mb and 1gb and 2gb memory sticks (which would have cost me a fortune right there), the default soft PSP case, a small PSP briefcase thingy that included earbuds, screen protectors, another soft psp case, and USB cord, Media Manager, Three games, Spiderman 2 movie. The PSP arrived in brand new condition although it was supposedly used. The was a sweet deal- you could look at it like I bought the PSP and got all the accessories and games free, or I bought the accessories and games and got the PSP free. Hey, a 1gb memory card is $50 bucks right of the bat (a little cheaper on a good day).

I know this is an old post, but....

I found a way to get around the missing file problem. I think the issue is with Vista, since this program worked fine in XP before my laptop fried and I was forced to get a new one with Vista on it. I imagine that for some reason Vista is not copying the pqdvdb.dll file to its System32 folder during installation like it should. All I did was go into the System32 folder under C:\Windows and pick a random .dll file. I made a copy of the file and renamed it pqdvdb.dll. Voila!! I still get this weird access violation error message when I start the program (probably due to the bogus pqdvdb.dll file), but after I hit okay, PSP Video Express starts right up. I used this workaround once before (while still on XP) for a game or something when the installation failed to install a random file- I just copied and renamed a file of the same type (extension) to the missing file and it worked. It doesn't always though. Guess I got lucky this time.

Wait, scratch that. the videos don't convert right- all audio, no vid.
