Sony PSP Questions

[Dynasty]

Thinking of purchasing a Sony PSP from a company in Hong Kong:

Lik-sang.com

for about £220 ($379.80) for the Giga Pack and NFS: Most Wanted, with free international shipping.

Question: The PSP is the Japanese version (cant choose any other) and NFS is the Euro version...would the 2 clash? ie Euro game not running on Japanese console?? I cant find any other PSP Console versions, just different game versions (US, Europe, Japanese etc). Last thing i want to have is the game not working and having to send it back to Hong Kong.

Any answers or suggestions would be much appretiated before i charge in and buy.

Regards

The PSP is region free for games but not for UMD movies

Well you cant use English DvDs in American DVD players (As I found out on my 2nd american holiday) but I dont know if there is a similiar restriction between Japanese and European content...i'd assume they are compatible though

That's so expensive.. Why would you pay that much.. And especially for a Japanese version..

Expensive? Heh. This is a funny comment coming from you, tbh.

Yes yes, we all know. I wear Abercrombie jeans, I make fun of poor people. The whole deal. But still, paying EXTRA money, and a lot more at that, for a Japanese PSP seems ridiculous and stupid..

 

[Dynasty]

well considering it comes with a 1gig stick as opposed to the OBISMAL 34mb stick in the standard and value packs, i think its darn cheap. Plus, here you pay roughly the same amount for a standard PSP and 1/2 games.

Thanks Solaris...ahem...

Im also assuming the PSPs sold here in the UK are Japanese versions, as i havent seen any saying European version? or ANY version for that matter.

Edit: DreadLord, we're only talking a £40-50 difference. The price i stated DOES include one game aswell, so the ACTUAL PSP price is just over £200 compared to 250ish here for the same deal...without any games = pointless

There's Amazon's.. add $50 max for the game and you're looking at $350 for the whole package.. And it would be either US or UK depending on what you want.

Ok you proved me wrong, however:

Shipping: Currently, item can be shipped only within the U.S.

pretty pointless :E

Plus it has the stock 32mb Stick which is pathetic. Id prefer 1gig and pay $30 more.

 

[Qonfused]

Well, the point is that you got screwed. "The lower price" doesn't really matter when your PSP doesn't work for half of the stuff.

 

[Dynasty]

Havent been screwed, i havent even bought anything yet as i wasnt sure, which is why i posted this up...

 

[Qonfused]

You edited your post. K, before it said like "I purchased" or "I got" a PSP from etc.

 

[Dynasty]

*caught red handed* Bah.

Yeah i can see where youre coming from.

Anyone know the answer to the original question??? We've slightly drifted off track it seems :E

Hence Amazon.co.uk

Nope the one I posted had the one gig stick as well. Without the 1 gig stick it's a mere $250.



You got royally screwed.
