"Someone give me to low down on importing a PSP"

I'm interested in importing a PSP if I'll be able to do everything region free.

That means everything I buy over here for it will work.

Is this the case with the PSP? Or am I going to have to wait till it arrives here?

Thanks

No, it really doesn't.

MWA, If you want a PSP that will play everything you can buy over here, you'd be bext getting a Jap one. Places like Lik-Sang, Import Madness and Play-Asia would be your best bet for Jap.

I opted for a US one because they're cheaper for some reason. I don't mind that I won't be able to play UK UMD movies, but I will be able to play UK games. The movies are cheap enough to import anyway, if I really wanted one. If you want a US one, Videogamesplus.ca or Import Madness are your better options.

It doesn't matter where you get it and if it includes a plug adapter or not, as the main charging unit is fed by a figure8 cable (like the one in the back of an Xbox), so you can just use any existing figure8 cble and the unit will convert voltage accordingly.

Memory Stick functionality is universal, so it doesn't matter where you get your PSP from - Memory Stick content will work regardless.

The Jap unit also has an english menu system, just in case you weren't sure.

Personally, I'd go for the US one, for a couple of reasons:
1. You get a free game bundled with it at the moment.
2. I don't mind that I won't be able to play UK UMD movies as I'll import any I do want and still probably save money.

The choice is yours though. Any more questions, give me a shout.

Oh, and don't listen to staff members in GAME etc. They'll try their damndest to stop you importing and pay over the odds to them, as well as having to wait until September :D
