That's only inside the packet.

But X-Ray vision would be cool.

So have been out looking for a replacement.  Went to quite a few stores around town, a while ago, but none had them.  Happened to go again today, and they did have them.

At EB Games, they sold the "official" (I'm guessing the same Sony thing packaged with the Value Pack) remote + headphone for $49 (the Sony headphones are worth around $20 by themselves, so you're paying around $29 for the remote, ignoring packaging discounts)...  which is a complete ripoff considering you can get a reasonable 2GB MP3 player for that price (they obviously include the headphones though perhaps not so good), or a cheap "poo poo" 4GB for $39.

Saw a pack at JB HiFi selling for $19, so I got one of them.  Said for PSP Slim on the cover, but surely they didn't bother changing the plug between the two PSP revisions right?  Well, that's what I thought.  When I opened up the thing, inside it said "will only work on PSP Slim & Lite" - err...  wasn't made clear on the package.  As for the plug, well, it is designed as if it was deliberately not made to fit into the PSP-1000 - the hard plastic of the plug is shaped so it won't let you plug the thing into the old PSP - if it wasn't for this plastic bit, it looks like the plug should fit in.  I mean, double you tee eff?  Couldn't they have made the plug slightly longer so it would work for both normal and slim PSP???

Will probably try returning it later on, but... well... this is so stupid...
