I wanna buy a PSP 3000 console,How do I know the system version before I buy it?

http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/psp-psp-3000-core-system-pack-white-98916/10137059.aspx?lang=...

this is the link to the console

I can't find any details about it on the future shop website...

"The PSP 3000 comes with vibrant widescreen LCD screen and built-in microphone! Play thrilling games, movies, music, connect to the Internet, and more. With the best portable games, and a dazzling LCD screen, everywhere just got better!

"

This is the only description about the product,Imean, no offense, but are you kidding me??

Don know what comes with the PSP neither(like how large is the memory stick,does it comes with a earphone ,any screen protector etc, this is so unprofessional that Futureshop only provide this little information)

Don wanna be rude,just a little suggestion that you guys' may consider giving us some more detials about the product.

 

Well, a little off the point, really curious about the system version of the console, is it 5.03 or higher??

System versions are hard to verify without turning the console on.

 

If there was an open box console, I'm sure the associates would open it up and turn it on for you to check the firmware. The consoles are often updated with minor revisions and their firmware as well. Not to mention that many games new games you'll play on it will usually have the console updated. For reference, the white Core 3000 was introduced the same time as the Assassin's Creed bundle, which I believe was late fall/early winter last year.

 

This particular PSP package is identical to the PSP Core 3000 Black console, which comes with no major accesories other than the battery, the outlet charger and of course manuals. No memory card, games or any other accessories save for a weekly promotion.

 

So to answer your title question, aside from Googling, your best bet would be to call around and see if any stores have open box units of it and go in and check out the firmware version in person.
