Do I buy a PSP or not
Been thinking about it now for a good few days, do I import a Jap or US machine ??? or do I wait the months for the UK release ???, I'm worried if something goes wrong with it I will be screwed as it's not like you can just take it back to the shop ypu got it from like if I purchased the UK version, also I'm bothered about dead pixels if it arrives and has these once again not like I can take it back !!!!!!

You can send it back, yes it will take a while, but it's not like you can't do it. I'd buy Jap as the region is the same as the UK.

I've got 4 dead pixels on my psp, that's about standard from what I've been reading. I still can't understand why people make a huge thing out of it. I can only see them when the Screen goes to full black during loading of a game. Dark games and film/TV I've never noticed them.
Just get it bought
the Canadian site DVD boxoffice works out to be £151 for the value pack but you will pay 17.5% tax on that.

About the same then once you've bought a game, of course the Canadian one is Region 1, which could be an advantage or not.

My opinion is buy a Jap Standard pack.
Lik-sang are now down to £149. You will get hit for Tax but it will be £30ish. Reason for the standard pack : I don't use my machine as an MP3 player so the remote is just stupid for a device I allready have in my hand. The standard headphones are guff ( Replaced them with sony in-ear ones) and the soft pouch isn't upto protecting my £200 gadget(bought a £6 case from lik-sang that has a hard outer shell and holds games). you also get a useless 32 meg duo card that you'll replace within seconds of owning the console.
And it's region 2 so if locking games become a problem your on the right side of the fence.

Don't forget to buy a game, that'll be another £30 + tax. Mine came over without one, what a pain waiting for it. Still using the standard stick here as I only use it for game saves and my holiday photo's.
