There isn't a single store that I know of which sells PSP parts outright like what you're asking. You might be able to goto a second-hand game store and ask if they have broken PSP's and/ or parts that they'd be willing to sell. Many game stores will buy broken systems for use as parts so that they can fix up future systems that they buy broken.

People may also give/ sell you parts from this forum as well, but keep in mind, PSPBrew staff cannot be held accountable for transactions made through the forums.

You may just want to go ahead and purchase the stuff online if it's the easiest way to get a hold of some of the items. I'm not sure if the site you link to is the best option though. Ebay may have items that will work just fine for you. For instance, if you can find a broken PSP on ebay for cheaper than it would cost to buy those items independently on powergamingparts.com, then you could solve almost all of these problems at once. Then, if you really wanted, you could buy a custom faceplate on the side to house the unit in. That seems like it would be cheaper than ordering all of those parts from that site and as an added bonus, you could sell of any of the parts that you don't need/ want back to ebay so you can help balance some of the cost.

You have to realize that stuff like that exists in a niche market, and there aren't going to be a whole lot of retail stores for that stuff. Even in Akihabara, Tokyo, the electronics capital of japan, there are some things I can't find (like 30 AWG wire!!). The internet is going to be your only option really.

Whats the problem with paypal? I've used paypal/ebay countless times. You can also check out DX for some parts. CHEAP parts and free shipping on everything to anywhere. www.dealextreme.com

use craigslist.ca if you want to do things local...why would you list a umd ring, umd door, battery cover, and back shell? All of that should be included with the backshell.

I suggest going to coolmods.co.uk if you're going to purchase from the internet though. You can get a full gold case (faceplate, backplate, umd door, memory stick cover, battery cover) for $34.98 instead of just the gold backplate from your link that costs $49.95

ok well it kinda depends where the store is located as im in canada eh? :lol: anyways if you are in new york somewhere than next time i go to new york which is gonna be this month than i can drop by soon.


as for the coolmods thing i may just order the gold thing you included. But i have hit 2 bumps in the road. the first one is my dad refuses to buy it for me even tho he knows i need it. the second one is ive only actully opened my fat one and that was last night to clean the inside of it but do we have a tut on how to change the whole shell somewhere?

I live in Canada as well. Did you check out craigslist at all?
