you can swith the menu's into english

However most jap games will still have jap text, but the us games are all in english

Lik sang is a good site, however they will not help you with customs, they will list it as a psp and value it at £175 + p&p they will not put gift or sample etc etc.

So you will end up with between £35 and £75 to pay when it comes to your door

Mine was sent to my work address and listed as SAMPLE, this seemed to work as I didn't get charged anything.

Sweet, I got mine for just under £200, I decided I wasn't going over that figure and I managed it but took me 2 days to find 1 on there that would be under that price by time the shipping was added, lol (im a tight fucker)...

As for the games, you can get them on flea bay aswell, lik sang, loads of us sites or if your near manchester I heard they sell them at the bowlers computer fair there.

Other than that, search google for psp games and your find yourself a nice list of games and sites to get them from.

I have 3 and there do me for a while, just need a hard case for it now and a 1gb pro duo card so I can get some films on the thing

If it's shit put it back on flea bay m8

as it will already be in the uk and the uk launch has now been dropped back again (so I here) you will get more than your money back

But trust me, once you have it in ya hands, you won't be thinking of gettin rid, especially once u got a couple of games

Mine was sent from HK last Thursday and It arrived in uk ready for delivery Sat am, but as it was to a business addy they don't deliver on a Sat

Mine was sent using HK Speed Post and they hand it over to ParcelForce.

Still u may be lucky and get away with no charges, how did u ask for it to be marked as ?? Gift or Sample ?

Also a m8 of mine bought 1 from Bowlers for £290 with no games, but he said he couldn't be arsed to wait for 1 to come from HK and then risk the import duty, so he just paid the £290

You should get 5-6hrs on it.... dependant on CPU usage, Screen/volume setup.
