PSP Questions

[The Chief]

Hi, im thinking of buying a PSP but i have a few questions. Whats the difference between importing or not. Has it been built like a gameboy, where there was no problem playing USA games on an UK machine etc, or does PSP only play things from its own country.

i also want a battery you see, and there are ones on ebay, but they are imported from hong kong, so i dunno if i'll have any compatibility issues.

thanks

You can play foreign games but not foreign movies.

The battery is alright, don't worry about it, and it's a quick charging thing.

yeea but i like carrying spares with me. i doubt there would be a problem with USA/Asian batteries on UK machines right? since those ebay members selling them are delivering to UK and europe. anyone able to confirm?

[Dan]

Why bother importing?

It might be cheaper, but it's a massive risk.

wel, think of it this way, why pay £60 for british, when you can get hong kong for £20 ??

Well, whenever I get a new TV or something, it usually comes with a package of batteries with japanese written all over it, so I think it's all right.

My thought's exactly TRB (Lanky and TRB agree, must be a first ) I'll never be able to understand these people who hack consoles and the like just to play a game that's coming out in two months time, in English

It's all well and good until you damage it and need it repaired...

Don't trust stuff on Ebay from Hong Kong....I've been stung on that before

Where can I get a cable to hook up my PSP to my computer (I don't have wireless internet), and how much can I expect to pay. Or is there an alternative way of getting the extra content for wipeout?

[Guest Future Shock]

Just get a USB mini B cable. You can get it mostly anywhere.

And you can just download it directly to the memory stick, or get it off the site online and transfer it via USB.

[Cactus Drags]

Yeah, I wanted to download directly to the stick, but I have no means of connecting the card to the laptop. So I figure I'll need the PSP/USB cable.

[Guest Future Shock]

You can just use Wifi too.

[Cactus Drags]

I already said I don't have access to wireless internet.

Sorry, I'm a dork. Didn't read the whole thing. :pinch:

No worries. Just got hold of a cable on ebay for £4, which is about £10 less than I was expecting to pay, so I'm good.

If that makes you good it must make me great for telling you about it.

Is it actually possible for you to not troll in every fucking thread?

Has anyone got an opinion on Lumines or Mercury? I'm after a good puzzle game, and I've heard mixed opinions on each, Lumines I've heard is supposed to be a Tetris-beater, but whether that's true or not, I have no idea.
