Umd Region 2 Information

[wraggster]

i want to watch usa umds on my jap psp personally

lets hope they crack the region protection

I wouldnt be surprised if we can't play the UK movies on a Jap machine - sony and the movie business try to shaft us every way they can.

As has been said, who cares when you can rip them onto a memory stick! The movie companies will loose out in the end.

In the end, region 2 is region 2, if they dont want uk movies to play on jap machines, they would probally have created a new region code naming and not left usa and japan the same as their dvd counterparts

Good point Vimes220

As far as the actual UMD movies are concerned I would have thought (using DVD's as my example) that the USA would probably have a bigger range of movies, and will probably be quite a bit cheaper.

Not that I intend to buy any really, I like my movies to be 'uncropped' and can see alot of 2:35:1 movies being made 1:85:1 to fit the screen, so I think I'll stick to transfering to Memory Stick (unless the price of the UMD's are really cheap).

Vimes, what are you using to convert your films?

Once the UK systems come out they will have new bios. Don't upgrade your Jap PSP v2 bios to V3, Up them to Euro V1. Tada.
