raymanuk Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Nope UK and USA are contry specific, Japan is region 2 The USA one has the naff screen (with more reports of dead pixels) The Jap ones (as usual) are better since the Japanese market is harshes, the UK ones will use the same screen but will be rejion bound. Version 1.00 and 1.50 are all able to play hacked games, version 1.51 &1.52 disable hacked games and homebrew. Version 2.00 also does this but adds a browser for wlan browsing. My advise is to go with a Jap one then eBaY it for the games which will be cheaper than the ones sold in the UK. Also if you get a prog called "TooPSP" and a prog like dvd shrink etc, you can add a movie dir on the memory car (500mb min for a full film in mpg4 formatt) and watch it, rather than shelling out the same movie on UMD. 1 gig recomended.

MARTIN R Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Do you guys remember when the PS2 came out.....? The first million were Region free on games and movies (Japanese Release) ?....but the US of A DOJ had said the movie/game industry in America will loose a significant amount of money.... So every one else in the world had to suffer? Sony sent out recalls and software so that the coding could be changed because the DOJ won the case..... Tossers!!!!! Do you really think they will release that in Europe - hey if they do great! I am just not sure about believing all that is said till the day. Martin R - not saying you are wrong but I have herd this: - Sony Staff = £179 - standard release People/Shop offers = Circa £200 Starter kits = £220 But like I said I am not sure... This is what I have herd at Sony. The good news is that they have cracked the loading of software on to the PS2 so we may be able to get some software on there for the Supra soon.... well I will be trying once I get my hands on one Info we got was £179, for the unit, so much conflicting info about at present though. Once I have absolute conformation I will post it up. I work for a major US company and thats the info I have at this stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work for a major US company and thats the info I have at this stage £180 is estimated I belove simply for the console. There is the starter pack etc as said which will cost more.

There is the starter pack etc as said which will cost more. sounds about right, starter packs will cost more. I was only stating cost of the PSP although we are likely to offer a bundle package in order to publicise the brand. ( its all if, buts and maybe's) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womble Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Info I had was that all PSP's will be region free for games, the movies may not be though. That's correct, sorry to everyone if I didn't clarify the situation of regions with films in my earlier post, I was purely refering to the games side of it.

Nic Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 Right I've got some information from my friend, the PSP's available here are all Japanese versions and all running OS1.51. There are 2 option packs available: 1. Stand alone PSP, with nothing else included 2. Value Pack which includes, PSP, headphones, case, remote control thingy, strap, 32MB Card. Based on rough costs I have so far (TBC) the stand alone would be around £150 including airmail to UK. The value pack would be around £175 including airmail. I'm also finding out price of games and other accessories available, I'll post details as soon as I get details. So based on info so far who is a definite? add your name to list if you want one. 1.

I said I would try to wind up this buy next week, so it doesn't drag on too long. I can get you one at a later date but price maybe a bit more as I'm getting good price for multiple orders.
