I don't know much about this, but my nephews want a personal playstation.

Compared with Britain, are they cheaper here, or because of the language difference, would I better off buying one in England?

Thank you.

hey, they are slightly cheaper, but iv a feeling that the games you buy in england wouldnt work on one you bought here. tbf if you bought it for 25pounds cheaper here, it would cost you a fair bit to send, plus warrenty would be a piss about. Best to buy in england i think, i got mine for about 120pounds with a decent game, check usual places like game and hmv

They are cheaper here and you can play games you buy in Uk on a Korean psp. The languages are on all psp's, that is wherever you buy it you can choose any language.


Games are universal, movies are not. So you cannot play a movie you buy in Uk on a Korean psp but with games yes.

Is a PSP worth getting? I've been thinking about getting one but wasn't sure. So games I get anywhere will play on a PSP? So US games will play on a Korean PSP?

Yes defo worth it. I think you can pick up one now for about 150,000 won ( maybe cheaper), great for travelling on long trips and killing time, 6 - 7 hours on one battery roughly.

Buy a good size memory card too, 1 or 2 gigs, 32MB comes with the psp. Too small for anything really.

If you have a big memory card you can download lots of stuff from the net and the psp official site has the software updates too, some games have software updates too.

www.allpspgames.com is pretty good.

All games in all countries work in all psp's.
Movies don't, they re regional.


PSP has mp3 player, videos, pics, games of course, basically does everything except make coffee. Very Happy

they are worth getting, if you are interested in playing games. however its a better idea to get a ds, the games are more fun, plus you can download all the games from the web and stick them on a micro sd card. i basically have about 3 top games loaded onto my ds, piss easy too. anyone whos interested in learning how lemme know
