Hello,
I am a new around here but have been reading a lot so I am not lazy and just posting for the sake of it !!
couple of questions
1 - are all psp's imported from japan 1.5 ?
2 - does region free mean it is a 1.5 ?
might be a silly question to you but then that matched my personality : )  |

Points: 0.32 Donate | | | its just a certain supplier is doing Japanese imports and they are advertising that they are region free. I have got a psp but my mrs won't let me open it until christmas and I don't know what version it is. I bought it very recently and am guessing it is going to be a 2.01. I am wondering whether to take it back and get one from the other supplier. They have a batch of 50 just in!
