nope

emailed and called electric Birdland to no avail. No response to email and phone lines just place me in a never ending queue.

Might cancel my order if I dont hear from them soon.

"In stock" "sent special delivery" - therefore I'd expect it to take 3 days max.

We'll see....

Any recommendations for other retailers out there to try for a better service?

My friend will still send them from Japan for £240.00 for a Value Pack and game of your choice. You can probably haggle the price with him, PM if interested.

right - not heard anything from Electric Birdland - and still cant get through on phones and no response to emails - so emailed this eve to cancel my order with them (I wont be recommending them to anyone, ever)

Ordered with Gbax instead - thanks for the link ThePosh. Their website states 2 day delivery, so fingers crossed for tuesday.

Just hope Electic Birdland aren't slow in refunding my money they took last wednesday!

Hi guys

Has the PSP been properly released in the UK yet? I can't see it in distribution.

update ---- just recieved my PSP from Electric Birdland (yes they got in touch with me eventually! and couldnt have been more apolegtic). Gbax (where I placed my second order) were also out of stock.

First impressions - what a stunning piece of kit - and massive screen!

Only got Ridge racers with the pack (value pack) which looks stunning too, all in all well pleased - go buy one (if you can find one!)

I'm so impressed with the system and frustrated at the difficulty getting hold of one that I've gone and ordered a batch of the PSP from Japan, which should arrive sometime next week - pm me if you want one.

Neil

looking into getting a PSP, I'm in the US first week of March, or have seen them around £180 buy it now prices on ebay.

Is there free stock in the US shops?

What is the warranty with the PSP, is it regional? ie if I get a US one do I need to post it back to Sony US if it develops a fault?

cheers,

greg
