The Value Pack includes remote control earphones, a carry case, a 32MB Memory Stick Duo, AC adaptor (multi voltage, but 2 pin plug. However, it's a standard 'figure of eight socket on the charger, so you probably already have a cable lying around which will work here!), a rechargeable battery & a strap.
DEAD PIXELS:
What we're about to say is probably not what you want to hear. Our policy has to be that same as Sony's policy, which is "if there are dead pixels, there's nothing we can do". Legally, there may well be some law that comes in to place over this over the next few months. There is some law on Plasma screens which states something like, if the screen has under 7 dead pixels, then it's part of the manufacturing process, but if it has 7 or more, it must be replaced. Again, that's probably not what you want to hear either I guess.
On the bright side, if you do have dead pixels, you're probably one of a majority group from what we've heard. We have only actually looked at a handful of different machines but they pretty much all have dead pixels. However, we saw all of them in the office and didn't notice the dead pixels at all. Neither did the customers at first! They only told us a couple of days later. One of our guys in Japan who plays stuff has two PSPs and both of his have dead pixels.
Lastly, PSPs in the future may be manufactured by Samsung rather than Sharp, and as Sharp are recognised as the leaders in LCD, it's probable that these early machines will be the best of the lot for the screen!
What we'd say is don't worry about it. It's part of PSP life, and it would only get to you if you were being overly finicky and you knew you were in a tiny minority, but you're not!
WE ARE ALSO INCLUDING THE EXCELLENT, ESSENTIAL, CAPDASE SCREEN PROTECTOR (also includes separate protection for the D-Pad and button areas to the left and right sides of the screen)
NOTE: THIS PSP HAS THE FIRMWARE VERSION 1.50. IT HAS NOT BEEN MODIFIED. LIMITED STOCKS AVAILABLE.
