Apparently one of his clients mentioned his son wanted one with a few games and my dad's sending it out as a courtesy gift with his next shipment to said client. All told I will be given $750 cash to buy two PSPs and as many games/umd movies as I can with the remainder.

I called Walmart and while they will be selling them at midnight, they have a 1-per-person limit, so now my dad is coming with to be the 2nd buyer.

Why two? One for the client, and one for those crazy customs agents.

No I'm not making this up.

edit: just got back with 2 units and 5 games. I might have to open one up and do some "QC testing".

Is your dad an importer/exporter?

Now, what would be crazy would be if the client timed his trip so that he could beg a PSP off your dad...

What does your dad do? Indian customs is pretty bad.. but not sure the Customs Agent would even understand what a PSP is.

Walmarts are getting about 60 each...

Limit of 1 per customer. I've got 30 coming in and am thinking of ordering another 50-60...

Well if you lived in India and ever had to get to deal with a customs agent here you would know what it's like.. I don't blame Jigga one bit.

Back! Plenty in stock at the Walmart. Man...the people you meet in line for these things...let me just say I'm sure I met four or five Anandtechers from Charlotte in that line!

Anyways, I have no idea what games are good so I went with the franchise titles I recognized: NFS:U, Ridge Racer, Metal Gear, Wipeout and then some geeky gamer told me to get Darkstalkers Chronicle (???) Plenty of money leftover for more games tomorrow (Wal-Mart didn't seem to have a good selection.)
