Is it more worth it to get a Japanese PSP or an American one? I know the games all region free but it's mainly a UMD movie factor. I can't decide whether to get a Japanese PSP for extremely cheap (£100 with a game) or an American one for the USA's regular price. Should I sacrifice the ability of being able to play multi player games with people when they get their european games over the cost?

They both suck? Okay then, thanks for letting me know you obviously haven't played a PSP.

Oh and in about a months time you will be able to play all GBA games on the PSP, you can already play SNES games, SEGA Megadrive, Genesis, GameGear etc etc.

Please tell me why you think the PSP sucks?

The PSP does look the dogs with all of the homebrew stuff and whatnot.

Plus most of the yanks seem to be amazed by it.

Gah, I want one now, noes, if only the pound wasn't falling against the dollar. Should've cashed in when the pound was almost double the dollar.

Actually the first thing i put was just PS2... I later changed it to feature all systems.

To be fair both the new handhelds suck. Stick with the GBA. There's a quality system.

Why didn't you do 'PS2/Xbox/Cube' instead of 'PS2/Xbox and Gamecube'?

FANBOY!

So do PS2/X-box and Gamecube games and they aint £35. DS games are bound to drop in price in time for the PSP launch anyway,

Anyway they only last longer than 2 hours if you have the plug adapter, otherwise the battery will just run out :)

PSP games probably last longer than 2 hours, though.

£35 for new PSP games? And I thought the DS was a rip off.

Well that should all be oley dokes.

I'll only be picking up wipeout and lumines in America most likely.

All other gameswill probably be UK ones.

Ta for the answer and whatnot

Yes US online multiplayer does work here. US-UK PSP multiplayer also will work, the catch is that you need the same version of the game. So if you have a US PSP and your mate has a UK one, if you want to say play Ridge Racer you both need to have the US or UK version. So if you have the US version and he has the UK version it will not work.
