region encodin

does anyone know if english u m d movies will play on a canadian psp

 

I think psp's sold in Canada are us versions. So the answer is yes.

edit:
I read your question again. By english you mean uk or us? Anyway uk umd's won't work but us will.

 

ur right the films wont work but the games will work because it has no region encodin

 

I've read somewhere that european umd films won't be playable on a japanese psp is this true?

 

Regioncode in japan and europe is 2, so it should be possible. Where you read that? At this point nobody knows it for sure, but we'll see when psp comes out in europe.

 

i've read it here
http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=pspmedia&message.id=5383

 

But one thing, japanese dvd's play on european players. That guy does not know a thing. We'll see when psp is launched here.

 

Does anyone know yet if we can play European umd films on a Japanese psp?

 

I think so..cause i'm eu and i've got jap psp...and...they're both region 2...so..i can't see any problem

 

But have you tested if it really works with european umd films. I'm on holiday and won't be able to test it for sure

 

To Hell with Movies! What about the Games? Is it true that I can eventually have my Mom or Sis send me US PSP Games over to Germany and then play them on my PSP?

If so... I take my hat off to Sony for finally doing something right!!
Now I really can't wait for Tomarrow!! (Sept. 1st 2005!), I think I'll ask for MVP Baseball and that other Baseball Title I saw on Wallmarkt's website.

BTW: Can someone recomend a good (English Languge), RPG for the PSP??

 

For now you can play games from all regions. I have a Japanese psp that plays American games. But I don't know if they will change it in the future

 

Humm... =/

US and JAP Games are both in NTSC (i.e. the same Region more or less), I'd be more intrested to know if you could play PAL Games on your PSP (or viseversa)...

 

the psp doesn't use ntsc or pal because it's an lcd screen. It uses regions. America is region 1 and they say japan and europe region 2. This matters for movies but as far as I experienced the psp works with games from every region

 

That's true for CSS Encoded DVD's. it seems to me that Sonys' UMD Format is another standerd. But, If I can run Games out of the USA (i.e. Imports), on the PSP then I'll be happy. Well that and playing Gameboy ROMS via Emulator. My Mom and Sis and Nephew all have that cruddy DS! Xp yuck. I can't wait to rubb it under there Nose! Here my Zelda?™ on the PSP™!!! XD

 

Yes you can play American games on a European psp for the moment. Because I can play American games on a Japanese psp.
Does anyone know yet if you can play European UMD films on a Japanese psp for sure or has seen it with his own eyes that it definitily works?

 

Well lol (no not lol), and behold. What do I spy with my Eye on the Backs of my Game Covers??



If I say'd I'd not known better that's a Region Code!!

 

Are theze European games?

 

Does anyone know about connecting a JAP to UK psp through WIFI is this possible are there any proglems.

I am of to Dubai on business and they are dirt cheap over there was wondering what PSP REGION was best to buy, UK, JAP, or US.

 

Yes Both are German Localized Versions of RidgeRacer (L.) and World Tour Soccer (R.),. You'd think those Yanks would have heard the term 'Football' somewhere? Bah Soccer ONLY IN THE US is the Beatiful Game given such a derogatory Name!

And as you shold be able to clearly see there both Labeled Region 2. So to is the Box My PSP came in. Oddly enough the PSP itself is not Coded with that mark on it. I Guess we shall find out soon enough if the Story on Region Codeing is BS or not. BTW: I'm out of it Been up now for about 36 Hours now (I couldn't Sleep last night, I almost felt childlike anticipatoin like it was Christmass or something! But, what Sony got to say about this? If there really is a 'No Borders' Policy for Games wouldn't Sony want to trumpet that? I Mean it's not like Sony would be loosing any Cash here!
