Really wouldnt matter at this point anyway :)
That new psp mod chip thats comeing out is gonna win the firmware war :p
I have a 1.5 but im getting one anyway :p
It will be nice to switch between frimwares :)
And this mod chip will work on any psp reguardless of its firmware, being as its a firmware replacment :p
If all else fails bro, would look into getting one if i where you :)

Actually I want my PSP to be region 2, because i am in UK, and region 2 umd movies are easier to get (ebay, etc) compared to region 1 umd movies.

If i upgrade (when the next upgrade comes out) using US update, will be PSP DEFINITAELY be a region 1 PSP?

I also have a US PSP i use in the UK and the other day i tried out all my mates' games and umd movies (games do have region coding, look at the back of the game box there IS a region code there or should be) and they all worked fine. Am runing firmware 2.71.

I think the region code for games just means that they are either EURO, USA or ASIA, but works in all PSPs.

I am suprised to hear about the movies, check behind what region are the movies, if your mate got it from here (UK) they should be region 2.

Oh, and I bought a region 1 umd (hellboy) and it works on my PSP.... So I have a region 2 Matrix movie and a region 1 hellboy movie, which both work :D
