There are seamingly two diffrent types of screens on the PSP a samsung manufactured one and a other. What diffrence this makes i have no idea. The jap spec will play all games from all regions but wont play movies from the uk (well my one and my wee bros does.)

doesnt matter where it comes from.. jap ones should be able to play anything (not regionised)

jap one will be running bios 1.0 or 1.5 as well so wont have to downgrade to play games from memorystick

a guy at my work has just got one from hong kong - i'm quite impressed, as i've not seen the attaction, but part of me wishes i had one now!

dont think the g/f would be happy me getting one tho, especially as i've not had the ps2 slim that she got me a year yet LOL

You won't be able to send it back if it breaks!
