    Im thinking of buying stuff off that site,but it looks like a bunch of scammers to me.

    http://www.play.com/Games/PSP/4-/171652/Sony-PSP-Handheld-Console-Value-Pack/Product.html?ptsl=1&ob=Price&fb=0&addpt=651287438

    Does anyone else think its a bit fishy as

    Could be left over stock (I seen that happen before) or a stock image radomly pulled.

    I can't see the feedback...

    You need to add the first item and second item listed to basket,then go into basket and look at reviews on each item.Its the same guy that left the same message on the same day.Ive not dealt with that site,but maybe they send the cheap stuff and the more expensive stuff goes AWOL,leaving the buyer hassle for 3 months.
    Im thinking of buying a certain quantity to mod then give away to disabled/under privileged kids for Christmas

    Well play.com is a good website. The psp might be the 1000 model which is probably why it's so cheap.

    if its sold by play.com you're good. if its sold by a third party through play.com (sort of like amazon marketplace) then it may be a scam.

    it would appear they're all 3rd party on that link.
