Default Best deal - PSP

Hey guys,

Im a bit of a newbie to PSP's and I was hoping to buy my little brother one for christmas. I thought Id get a little help from people that might now a little about the best deals before I go out and purchase one..

Im in Sydney and I was just wondering if anyone knows the best deals around..

Im looking for the console of course, a game (pref GTA), and a few other accessories, such as Hard Case, connecting cables ect ect..

If anyone knows of any good deals could they please post them up..

Cheers,
Scott

good deal in the for sale forums at the moment, 2 month old PSP value pack for $250

need look no further than OCAU

oh and you'll be hard pressed to find a PSP for less than $390 (how much JB has them) but you can always try and bargain the JB hi fi people down (theyre generally open to price, but not as much on items for which they make almost no profit anyway, like the PSP and apple products).

the $299 deal from dvdcrave is listed as a US console do you need to purchase an AU ac adapter?

any other differances between US / AU?

warrenty is a concern:
Please note: As this console is imported, Warrenty is only valid in country of origin (United States)
