Sony recalls Netherlands PSP supply

We just got word that there are some weird things going on in the Netherlands concerning Sony and handheld console PlayStation Portable. According to a respected distributor, giant corporate retail chains had to send back all PSP units to the warehouse because Sony asked them to.

Now, why would Sony do that? Our sources mentioned that Sony will replace these returned PSP units with new and “unflashable” ones. The distributor likewise said that the custom firmwares being produced by the homebrew community is causing poor game sales in the region.

Furthermore, it was said that the operation is on a nationwide level and one wouldn’t find any PSP units in mainstream stores. It should be remembered that we ran a somewhat similar report concerning Sony Germany planning to hunt down websites offering PS2/PSP mods and downgrades.

We really would appreciate it if our readers from the Netherlands or nearby regions will help us ascertain these reports.
