<a href="http://www.gbax.com/main.pl" target="_blank" >GBAx.com</a> have posted news on their website about the USA version of the PSP, it now seems most likely that the PSP is indeed tied down to regions, so you have a choice on where you live, i for one am considering buying a USA version of the PSP, heres what <a href="http://www.gbax.com/main.pl" target="_blank" >GBAx.com</a> posted:

<BLOCKQUOTE>Oh yeah I almost forgot we will have the USA PSP in a couple of days as well as some USA PSP games, they will be more expensive than the Jap versions, but we will try to keep the price as low as we can. Remember the USA PSP is a *different* region to the UK and Japan.

Its only the UMD movies that are region coded. Or at least thats what I heard.

same ere - the 'different region' is only referring to the UMD films, in a way it could be an advantage of having a US PSP because yanks will get most new films before us (like they do with DVDs) but everything else will work the same. when UMDs come out in UK we'll (JAP PSP owners) still be able to use the ones they put up in the shops because theyre on the same region as us (region 2) - also, i can see someone hacking the region coding on a PSP soon anyways.

So what if the Americans get the movies first. They soon come out here.

Anyway I will just convert them into region free and stick them on a memory stick.
