Hi guys

I've decided to import a PSP. There's no way in hell I can wait another 6 months to a year to play RR PSP. Can someone direct me to a link that has the best deal on PSP preorders? Thanks

No where, cuz' you ain't gettin' one at launch!



But seriously, I'd just order one at Sony's official site because they're bound to keep getting shipments in on time... I guess...*

*Also, you get a free UMD demo when you purchase at their site.

So basically it's pretty much impossible to get one at this point? Sold out everywhere(sans ebay)?

Can someone address this issue....

THIS IS THE JAPANESE VERSION WHICH IS REGION FREE!! WHICH MEANS WILL BE THE SAME ONE COMING OUT IN THE USA!!

This is the Japanese version. These systems are only made to play the Japanese games at this time. It will NOT play U.S. games.

WHAT THE? What is the real truth here? Will the Japanese version play US games or won't it? Can someone cler this up with 100% accuracy?

PSP GAMES = NOT REGION LOCKED

UMD MOVIES = REGION LOCKED

I don't think anyone's going to know for certain until the U.S. model is released. Don't buy a Japanese PSP unless you're planning on doing a lot of importing.

I'm okay with that, which is why I still want an import PSP.

Why wouldn't I be able to do that when the U.S. version come out?

I'll sell you one of mine for $550 plus shipping! If you use "Buy it Now", I'll throw in a free catalog from TGS!!!

BTW I'm joking, I dont have one, and even if I did it wouldn't be until Dec 14th or so... Seriously I hope to get one for Christmas from my parents or wife or someone, but I'm not holding my breath!

 

[isamu]

neptunes....you mention wireless...why wouldn't I be able to play against other people from my Japanese PSP to their US PSP? It'll work I think man

We finally have confirmation of long-running expectations: the PlayStation Portable will feature a region lock encoding system, but that this lock system will not be used on games.

PSP adopts both a "worldwide" and "regional" code system," explains Molly Smith of SCE America. "For games on PSP there is no region code
