i just recieved my second psp off ebay (£164.10 with wipeout). its a U.S. psp 1001K and my other one is from japan 1000K, now i read the U.S. screen was being made by samsung and that the quality was`nt as good as the japanese sharp screen, but on comparison, side by side the U.S. psp`s screen appears to be better quality with clearer screen quality and brighter more vivid colours. on the box it says console made in japan (not china as stated on many sites and ebay auctions) so it appears some U.S. console are getting the better screens than others.(the U.S. psp is a second issue value pack minus the spiderman 2 U.M.D.)
