Gamestop sold refurbished PSP memory. With free pr0n…

Oh noes! Pr0n!It’s a mother’s worst nightmare and every pubescent boy’s dream: the gift of free pornography. Well, it wasn’t actually free per se, but it definitely WAS a mother’s nightmare since it turns out that the memory card that she herself bought for her son’s PSP was loaded, not with eboots or homebrews or the latest version of DevHook, but pornographic videos and images. And the source? A GameStop store in Fort Worth, Texas.

Apparently, the said mother bought a refurbished memory card for her son’s PSP, only to discover later on, when her kid and a friend turned on the PSP, that it wasn’t only refurbished, but most possibly heavily used. A GameStop spokesman was told about the incident and has been noted to remark that he has never heard of a similar incident happening before because of the company’s policy to erase data on refurbished cards before reselling them. An investigation is currently ongoing.

There have already been numerous warnings that such gadgets as the PSP can be a potential hiding place for your 12-year-old’s porn collection, but then again, other items such as cellphones, flash disks, or almost anything with a USB cable and some memory can be used for the same purpose.

Tsk tsk. Could it be that the attendant who sold the memory card mistakenly sold the card that is for his, um, personal use?
