Does anyone know if this is the Japanese or American console?
Is it true that the USA ones are madi in China and the Japanese ones in Japan?

I have a 1001 PSP from the USA, and from what I have read, and a small amount of guess work, I believe the Jap and first batch of US PSP's have the Sharp LCD. I have seen pics from Lik-Sang of the Jap PSP dissected with the Sharp LCD and I have also come across a site with a dissected US PSP which also had a Sharp LCD. Also my console is made in Japan so I think Sony will start using the Samsung LCD when they move production to China

What makes you say that? what proof do you have?? OR do you have to say that as you paid the inflated price when they came out

it is better for us brits because it is region 2 (like us) and UK UMD movies should work on ours when they come out! although i have heard differently!

Well considering you can buy Region1 UMD disks now from a well known internet site for as little as £7 delivered plus get them before UK release its not a problem, plus there will be work rounds, i have heard one company is already working on a region free workaround.

I would not be supprised tho if Region 2 UMD's purchased in the UK will not work on Jap PSP's. When I got my first PS2 in Japan, I got it back to the UK and it would not play UK DVD's as the PS2 was NTSC and the DVD was PAL, so the PS2 just said Nope..not playing it. We will have to wait and see....
