I've been looking at Pandora's Battery videos and then I found this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=kpEFxuz-jlg&mode=related&search=
I'm sure it's a scam because that person charges 20$ plus both way shipping which makes a total of about 30$ (depending on where you're located)! Beware! Shokz and sicdude have their own service which is free but you have to pay for both ways shipping. Instead of 30$, it might be like 10$.

Well he says the reason he is charging $20 plus shipping is because he doesn't have time to do it for free.

Since when does $20 extend the hours in a day?

He is charging $20 because he wants to make a buck.

It's just sad he is making a buck off the hard work of others that gave us the Pandora Method for free.

Ahahahaaa...

Yea, i can understand why he'd be wanting some money for it, but he does it differently to the way "we" do it anyway. I'd just convert a battery and mem stick, that's it, it's safer the way i do it... risk loosing a PSP in the post, or a battery in the post?

But, also, i'd trust him.

Yeah, but some people do it for free except both way shipping (Shokz and sicdude offer that). I wouldn't give 20$ AND shipping both ways.

Because you're all in the UK, in Europe and I'm in Canada in North America...kind of far. Well I've never used the Pandora's Battery because I was stuck on 2.81 for months unti the 3.03 downgrader came out. Since then, I've never upgraded or downgraded from 3.40 OE-A.

Well I've never used the Pandora's Battery so i don't have experience like you guys. And by the way, in the PSP Slim, to get to 3.60 M33, is it just an upgrade or is there a downgrade or something because I heard that you must use the Pandora's Battery on it.

I'd say the exact thing sicdude just said.

Pandora's somehow kinda fun to use, i downgraded a mates PSP with it the other day, took like 2 hours for everything though :( - Then again i did brick it once, and that was after i'd converted the pandora back to normal...
