Got family in America who are planning on visiting soon, they were asking if I want anything brought over. At first I couldn't think of much then they mentioned the PSP.

Not really got money for one but I guess I could give up going out for a few weeks and stop wasting money on random stuff. Also my birthday soon so I could always just ask for money towards paying for one.

Just wanted to know a few things from any of you who have imported a PSP.

If I got a US PSP would I only be able to play US games and movies. I'm sure I read that the games would all be region free but the movies wouldn't. That true?

What about charging it, does it come with a plug/dock or something for charging, need anything special to use it with a UK socket?

Cheers

A few US PSPs are being sold on ebay at the moment. I shall get one as soon as I sell my P910i on ebay, or wait till payday on the 24th. I'd get one now, but I've just brought a nokia 7710 so have to wait!
Whichever country you get your PSP from, I'm sure you will be happy with it.


Keep us posted on your thoughts of it

Why are you so persistant on getting a Japanese model?


for one reason, US PSPs are cheaper
Use different technology so battery life is greatly improved
first million sold comes with Spiderman 2 UMD

the only advantage with getting a Japanese model is that its movie play back is region 2, the same as the UK, but why wait for them to be released 2 months later than the States?

and me one at the same time.


Hopefully it would have the new screen and samsung chips so the battery would last longer

There have been comparisons between Samsung and Sharp screens (Sharp screens being produced in japan) but the results are negligible with the only difference being the viewing angles, but you are only going to play it face on anyways
