Okay here goes, If I buy a PSP, PS3 and/or an iPod will they be able to work/play in English? Like a game for the PSP or PS3 - Is there a way to switch the language to English? (will it be needed or do they come in English?) and for that matter will a TV with input settings be a pain to hook up a Ps3 on? (if you know 0 Korean?)

The PSP and ipod will work fine, games are region free, but if you want to buy movies to watch on it (and why anyone would buy movies for the PSP, I have no idea) only Korean (Asian") region will work. No problems with the ipod. No idea about the PS3.

I've been thinking of getting a PSP but don't know much about them. How much do they go for here? I'm planning on trip to HK in a month's time, should I wait and buy one there? (or in a duty-free shop?) What about NTSC / PAL issues?

And, what is the selection of games like for PSP?

I've never bought a movie for my PSP or PDA.
I use GOM Encoder

GOM Encoder Features

* Embed subtitles to the video (you can see subtitles on the resulting video even if your device doesn�t support subtitle)
* Encode just once to convert your video files into MP4/3GP/SKM format playable on your mobile phone, PSP and iPod
* Convert video files to AVI format playable on PMP and DivX players

* Stable encoding
* Fast encoding (even faster on Dual Core or Hyper-Threading CPUs)
* Convert only parts of a video
* Adjust playback speed on the resulting video file
* Supports 2Pass encoding, resulting in higher quality video output.

The first menu on a new PS3 asks you to choose a language from a huge list. This can be changed in the menus at any time.

The Playstation Network notifications in the upper right corner of the screen will always be in the language of the country where the player is located, however (at least I've never figured out how to change that). The actual Playstation Network is in English on mine, though.
