Sony's already raised more than a few eyebrows in the Netherlands with its [Only registered users can see links. ] of advertising the PSP, and it now looks like it could be drawing some ire as a result of changes to the console itself.

According to MaxConsole, Sony has decided to recall all current PSPs from retailers in order to replace them with new, "unflashable" units, presumably in an attempt to clamp down on custom firmware. That bit of information comes from someone Max Console describes as a "reputable dutch distributor," who says that a number of large retail chains have already complied with the recall.

From the sound of it, they don't appear to have gotten the updated consoles in return just yet though, leaving anyone shopping for a PSP out of luck for the time being.
