We were particularly interested in the Spider-Man 2 movie because we wanted to see how the region encoding worked between our Japanese and US PSP units. Sony had stated in the past that games would not be region locked, but other media, such as movies and music, would be. It appears that Sony was true to its word--we were able to play Japanese PSP games on our US unit and vice versa; we weren't able to play the Region 1-encoded Spider-Man 2 UMD on our Region 2 Japanese PSP. The region-free gaming also applied to multiplayer game modes. We were able to set up and play a multiplayer game between a Japanese and US unit without a problem.

so japanese psp's are region 2?

does anyone know what region japanese ones are?

i thought that the psp was region free for games AND movies
well i think movies from japan are either 4 or 5, but im not too sure

japanese psp's are region 2 i have one (the shiny white one )

Which is great as i'm in the UK which is also region 2.

Some games say region 'x' aswell on the back though which worries me (I think it might be the fmv sequences i dunno)

There is no region stuff on games only movies.

japanese psps can play englands umds yea?
