As andy st200 said mate

I got mine from here http://www.psp-store.co.uk/psp.htm

It's a jap one and i put i flashed it with the 1.5 version firmware which means i can play 'backed up' versions of the psp games and put emulators on it and play all the old SNES & Mega Drive games too

Well worth it IMO

PSP's are old hat!

If your "in to the scene" make sure the one you buy is of firmware 2.0 or less.

Jap and PAL are the same region (movie wise). Games are region free. You can get FREE encoding software to encode your own DVD's, so don't worry about the region coding thing on films.

By the time the PS3 comes out, the XBOX360 will be the hottest thing and the PSP will be a gloryfied remote control!

lol where you dream that up from?? xbox has already been slated as the same games on a pc piss all over their xbox versions

sony will always be the console kings from now on and xbox the gypo down the road.. and nintendo basically have lost their way completely

ps3 will kill the 360 as the ps2 has the xbox , ps2 still outsells xbox even now

and the fact ps3 is backwards compatible will help it sell, 360 is not able to play xbox games

Yes it is,although you need the hard drive... Comes with the Premium pack or sold seperately for £60

PS3? All for this console yes,but be waiting a while.Sony have yet to confirm ALOT of details.Rumours are that the PS3 is nowhere near complete and lucky to be out within a year(Prob Bill who started this rumour ).But by this time the 360 will no doubt have its feet firmly planted
