i don't think there's a flash for the usa version, but there is one for the 1000; sooooo.

Would some brave soul try and flash your psp with the psp-1000 rom and see if it changes the region?

However, I'm not sure I see the point of UMD movies yet. If they were cheaper than DVD-video-discs, or you could use tv-out with them, then maybe they would make sense to me. But, right now, I would far prefer to just transcode a dvd to a format that I can put on a memory stick. (So what if it isn't native full screen =P)]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/25/psp-games-region-free-after-all-but-umd-movies-locked/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/25/psp-games-region-free-after-all-but-umd-movies-locked/Dec 19th 2005 1:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/25/psp-games-region-free-after-all-but-umd-movies-locked/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/25/psp-games-region-free-after-all-but-umd-movies-locked/
Well, in theory, they do the region coding for the sake of THEIR global economy...! But you're right, it's not very "global friendly" as far as consumers are concerned.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/25/psp-games-region-free-after-all-but-umd-movies-locked/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/25/psp-games-region-free-after-all-but-umd-movies-locked/Dec 19th 2005 1:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/25/psp-games-region-free-after-all-but-umd-movies-locked/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/25/psp-games-region-free-after-all-but-umd-movies-locked/Dec 19th 2005 1:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/25/psp-games-region-free-after-all-but-umd-movies-locked/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/25/psp-games-region-free-after-all-but-umd-movies-locked/Dec 19th 2005 1:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/25/psp-games-region-free-after-all-but-umd-movies-locked/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/25/psp-games-region-free-after-all-but-umd-movies-locked/
If you get games that feature "headline characters" such as Rockman/Megaman, the main character's name changes due to conflicts in local markets, not necessarily due to translation problems. Movies and music on the other hand usually are due to the milking of the industry we've all enjoyed. Funny how the "problem child" of the industry seems to be the most progressive of the three.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/25/psp-games-region-free-after-all-but-umd-movies-locked/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/25/psp-games-region-free-after-all-but-umd-movies-locked/Dec 19th 2005 1:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/25/psp-games-region-free-after-all-but-umd-movies-locked/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/25/psp-games-region-free-after-all-but-umd-movies-locked/
Further, it would almost definitely void your warranty. Considering all the psp returns going on right now, seems like a warranty might be something to hold on to for as long as possible.

As I've said before, I don't see the appeal in UMDs as they exist right now anyway... memory stick video is "where it is at." Play what you want.

#22 is right about this having been coming from the beginning by the way....]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/25/psp-games-region-free-after-all-but-umd-movies-locked/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/25/psp-games-region-free-after-all-but-umd-movies-locked/]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/25/psp-games-region-free-after-all-but-umd-movies-locked/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/25/psp-games-region-free-after-all-but-umd-movies-locked/Dec 19th 2005 1:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/25/psp-games-region-free-after-all-but-umd-movies-locked/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/25/psp-games-region-free-after-all-but-umd-movies-locked/
