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

It would play any region games, but would be locked to play US movies, which is no bad thing. You get them earlier than over here.
plus, get the PSP quick because it comes with spiderman 2.

movies however, could be put onto a MSDUO card, you wont get the same quality as the UMD, but much greater battery life.

and the PSP uses a standard figure 8 cable for charging.
you may have one lying around, or you can buy either an adapter or a new cable for pennys


hope this helps

True. Universal gameplay but region-coded movies.

Don't know, sorry.
