Are psps and umds definately region free

Cyrus

a friend of mine has a psp that he bought in the states (good while ago, the older style one) he reckons a few games he bought in the uk wont work on it, he needs to buy them in the states, surely thats wrong and he is just doing something incorrectly?

Games are region free, UMD movies aren't.

i think most games are region locked on psp. i used to have a psp but didnt have many games and im sure fifa 07 was region locked.

We've reported before on the fact that some games for the PlayStation Portable do indeed sport a region-coding number, but now that the US games are finally out, we're happy to note that Sony (as promised) did not put a region lock on any of their games. Which means that yes, you can play any Japanese game on that fresh, mint-condition, scratch-free PSP you just picked up (or if you've had a PSP for a few months, there's now a few new American titles you can add to your library). Sony did lock up the UMD movies, so those of you with Japanese PSPs won't get any Spider-Man 2 action.

As ongarite said. Games are NOT region locked, However movies on UMD are.
