PSP + Bling = US $1,143

The German mail order company OTTO has 2 different Swarovski-studded versions of the PSP, Passion of Flowers and Black Cobra. Both versions come covered with 2000 Swarovski and are selling for a mere € 899 (approx. $1,143). OTTO does say that these versions of the PSP are marketed toward women. So, if you've got a couple grand laying around and have a love for everything bling then maybe this is for you.

Dark AleX's latest 2.71 Custom Firmware update - SE-B"

Dark_AleX has yet again updated his awesome 2.71 SE-B custom firmware. Now at v2, or B", the firmware has matured very well, and offers a truckload of features. Here's what's new in the latest update:
  • Added SFO version bypass to real umd's. (this should enable gta vcs umd to be played.)
  • Fixed the problem of error 0x8002012D in certain games when plain modules is enabled. Because the problem is gone, the updater will reset the option of plain modules to enabled. If for some reason you still have that error, report it and disable the option, but it should be fixed now.
  • Found and corrected 3 bugs regarding no umd.
    • One of them affected Virtual Tennis and potentially a lot of other games.
    • The other two affected GTA LCS and GTA VCS.
    • Some games like Burnout Legend still don't run in no-umd because of what seems a kernel stack problem.
Since this is just an update to the already released SE-B, the best way to get your PSP up to this firmware is by either installing SE-A first, and doing all the incremental updates (SE-B, SE-B', and this one SE-B"), or by installing the full version of SE-B and then going on to do the incremental updates (SE-B' and SE-B"). Our recommendation would be to first install SE-A and then do incremental updates, since that method has proven to be quite fool-proof. Click on the respective custom firmware links to be taken to its release article.

Finally, for everyone here who has been updating regularly and for those who've now reached SE-B', all you have to do is put the extracted folder in your memory stick and run the update. Remember to change the folder name to GAME if you've changed the related setting in the Recovery Menu, but those will be quite rare. Enjoy the download below!

WARNING: Firmware modifications can damage your PSP beyond repair. Use this at your own risk!
