There is a catch though with a PSP that has 5.50 or higher firmware (1000 or 2000, doesn't matter). Those PSP's will need a Pandora battery and a Magic Memory Stick to hack since ChickHEN only works with 5.03 FW. If you do not want to go through all of that (not that hard), then check the FW before you buy it. Good luck in your search, wish you the best.

Here's a great deal on a Pandora Battery if you need one:
DealExtreme: $6.32 PSP Unbricker Pandora Battery for PSP 1000/2000 (1800mAh/3.6V)
That's where I got mine, shipping takes a long time.
