Hello people that can hopefully help me. I've had my psp for like a year and a half and I really don't feel like I've gotten good use out of it, so I've decided to give the homebrew/hacking stuff a try. I have the old school fat psp, and it has 3.73 firmware on it. I found this but I have a couple questions:

An LED Pandora battery with an 8 gig sony memory stick that already has custom firmware and instructions on how to do it.

1. I'm pretty good with computers, but I've never tried hacking a psp. Is this a good deal, and could I find a better deal if I did some of the work myself?

2. Can I use that magic memory stick for memory purposes after I've used it for the firmware update?

3. If so, is it easy to rip games to a stick and about how big is a psp game?

4. Is the LED battery worht it? Does it work well in normal mode?

5. I've heard bad things about sony memory sticks, like they take longer to read data or something. So if I had a psp game ripped to the sony stick, would all the load times be long?

6. Anything else a noob should know about?
