It all depends. If your buying your PSP from the shop i can assure you it will be Ver. 2.8.1 if your buying it from a friend then you can check for yourself!

CODE
f you need to know which firmware you have, go into your PSP's Home menu, go to Settings -> System Settings -> System Information
The version will be listed under System Software: x.xx

Actually, some places in the UK still sell non-TA-082 2.6 version PSPs; my friend bought his from Argos a week ago and I downgraded it successfully.

You can tell which version it is from the code on the box; below the region (i.e. PSP-1003) and voltage (i.e. 220 - 240 V); there is a code, such as: "WS259 H" (my one).
From other sources, I've found out that the "WS" means a non-TA-082, while "SS" would mean a TA-082.
The "H" tells you which firmware version it is, with higher letters being higher versions; "H" is 2.60 BTW.
So as long as you can have a look at the box, you should be able to tell which version it is.

How can you assure 2.81? Most shops buy in bulk. As, PSP sales decline this time of year (just before the Christmas peek) shops will still have stock from months ago. Plus, so do warehouses. I bet not even 5% of shop stock has a higher firmware than 2.71. Its a fact, sony cannot just halt production immediately even weeks after 2.80 was released sony was still not producing factory made 2.80's!

Scary post man, that is IDENTICAL to my PSP Box tongue.gif. So maybe you'd like to downgrade mine, hehe.

Ok, it was wrong to say assure. But the chances that you'd get a high end (Firmware wise) version would be high as some people do christmas shopping early and PSP Are still of demand till this day.

Nearly all PSP firmware versions can be downgraded anyways. And i meant demand falls around this time due to christmas but will pick up in november-december.

Surely you can do it yourself; upgrade to 2.71, install Homebrew Enabler, run Update Flasher with 1.50 EBOOT.

Im too scared to downgrade so i ask Rmm to help me emulate it smile.gif.

and guess wat.. its a TA-082 v2.5

It's on the barcode sticker on the side. Not on the front, printed on the box itself.
