Hi, I want to buy P3go, but i have few questions.

do i need to update to 26/11/2010 first ? Or i can directly update to the 8/12/2010 ?

I notice the different is if you never / not yet updated to 26/11, i need to put the .bin file into the micro sd, but if i already updated to 26/11, then i put the .bin into the p3go. is it true ?

When i buy P3GO, does it already include the Micro SD Card ?

Thank you for your answer =)

you got it right Eisei

Thank you for your answer =)

You need to buy a microSD card seperatly
Buy it (the P3GO) from here: www.lightake.com
I bought it from there and it came in 10 days And i also bought a E3 reader and some other acessories for my laptop!

Hi there,

How do I verify the md5 checksum of the modified 3.41 PUP which I downloaded from this thread? My connection is crappy and wanted to make sure it has no errors before downgrading my console. Thanks for your help.
