I own the white Japanese version of the PSP, and I absolutely love it! I was actually in the market for a MP3 player before I stumbled on this. Here is what to consider if you are planning to purchase the Japanese version psp.

First of all, it DOES play both U.S. and Japanese branded games, and it is compatible with U.S. memory card, just in case anyone is concerned.

I guess one of the major concerns with the Japanese PSP is that you are not able to play Region 1 UMD movies on it. No problem! A quick fix that I found is that if you have a computer and the right software, go ahead and get the dvd version of the movie (which are now pretty cheap) and copy it to your hard drive, then later convert it to MP4. Afterwards you can then put them on your psp memory card and watch the movie on the go. I usually do this for my favorite anime episodes and it always comes out in excellent quality.

Everything else about this psp is pretty much the same as the U.S. version, except for the UMD part, but it is a great all-in-one system to have on the go. I also found that the battery on this psp last slightly longer than the U.S. version. When you first get this version, you may need to go to settings and set the language option to English, (as it is defaulted to Japanese), and then you should be set to go.

Overall, I highly recommend this if you into games, music, and movies. Well, I better get back to playing Crisis Core (an awesome game!) See ya!

Most people these days who wanna get a psp usually go for the new models, like "Psp 3000", or "Psp Go!" But I prefer the good old Phat "psp 1000". I have a psp 2000 as well, but i needed a new one because it broke. =( So i went on Amazon to find a new one for a good price. And then i found this. A white Psp 1000 only found in japan. For only [...] bucks! Right after a bought it, i started having doubts. Like, why didnt i get a 3000 or a "psp go!"? I'm so stupid.then it came in the mail and i was only half as exited as i would have been. But when I held it in my hands, it was so comfortable. I even compared it with my junky psp 2000. I looked up what other people thought, and, i wasn't alone. Plus, the psp go is apparently too small and feels cheap. Also, it does play u.s. UMD games. But not U.s. UMD movies...


So anyway, I highly recommend this!

this psp was so hot when i first got it everyone wants to know where i got it from the white is so much cooler looking than the black just because it not popular and no one has it trust me get it..............
