Where to buy PSP in Iloilo City

I can call my self as a game addict, I have played countless games 
either online or console. My first console was an Atari computer
bought by my father. Me and my brothers take turns on playing and
sometimes it ends up with us fighting over it.

When i was in Elementary, a friend of mine brought me to a small shop,
that time the hottest console was play station 1.  There was not
a day that i missed being on that shop. I played Resident Evil 1 to 3,
Silent Hill, Tenchu, Smack down vs Raw and a lot of other games.
After i reached high school, play station shops change into internet cafe.

During college my dad bought me my 1st Personal computer that i can use 
for my studies. Well aside from studies i used my PC to play online games.
After 5 years playing lots of  mmorpg and first person shooter i did
not feel contented. There are things i missed a lot, and it is the joy of 
playing a console. I then installed an emulator on my PC to run Play 
Station and Nintendo games.

 
Then life's reality catch up on me. I then find my self employed in 
a corporation. In my work i have lots of free time, sometimes i watch
movies, anime, and take tutorials in the internet with stuff that i
can use for work. I miss being at home and escape reality by playing
games. Then an idea came to me, after i get my salary i plan to reward
my self with a Play Station Portable for my hard work.

I Reside in Iloilo, a province in the Philippines. I searched different
Malls that sells PSP and compare how much the price difference, the 
accessories that came along with the unit and the warranty it has.

purchasing here.
They sell PSP for 7,500 pesos and you can even ask them to sell it in a 
lower price. I manage to convince them to sell a unit to me for 6,000 pesos.
