Vimes - there were rumours that the US machine would have an inferior screen to the Jap version (I even posted a thread about it myself) but I think they have been quashed now.
Are you waiting for the UK release? It could be many many months away yet and it probably wont be that much cheaper than importing one now.
the initial square button problem was that it kept getting stuck because of a uncut bit of plastic.
the current problem with ALL other Jap psps is that the square button does not feel as responsive as the other 3 buttons because of it not being centered etc etc.
Thats why i suggest getting a US one because apparently the problem has been rectified.

Hello, New here.
Just ordered my PSP from dvdboxoffice.com for £147. I also phones custom's and excise today and asked what the charges should be from Canada. They only said VAT, no duty applied. I also phoned DHL and asked them if they charge admin fee for paying the VAT. They said no, i'm expecting all in to pay £170 for my PSP. Great bargain as well.
Only thing I need to get is games and a decent memory card. Can anyone recommend anywhere?
Also ment to add, I'm looking for the games quite quickly. Also does the PS2 power supply work with the 2nd half of the PSP adapter?
wrazz can you confirm that your psp has square button that feels exactly like the x button when you press it?
I have jap import and all buttons feel and sound the same when pressed.........
maybe it was just mine then.
darcy - strange, I am sure you would still pay duty from Canada.
For games, try the same place you ordered your machine / try ebay / try any of the other links in the threads on this site.
I think the plug end of your PS2 lead will fit into the new PSP power supply.
