UMD games are region free. UMD movies are not (but really, who gets UMD movies...). You can swap back and forth between PSN accounts as you wish, as long as you can connect to the account you want to activate. I don't really understand the point of this, but as long as they don't block the swapping off completely I won't complain.

me personally i am thinking about waiting till the PSP2 is released since the dev kits are already out to companies so hopefully they will deliver the goods in 2011 as promised but eh it is sony.

tns so much Temuthril, thats just hat i wanted to know. If you can disable the wide color space then thats the best of both worlds. The brighter saturated colors for most of the 2d gaming, and then the more natural color space for realistic looking games so they dont look all weird.
what are you guys talking about PSN account for though? Can you not play a European or japanese game if your signed in with your US PSN id or something? If not then how do you work around that?
I would just wait for a psp2 and get a psp cheap, but i kinda want one now before some of the older rpgs get impossible to get. especially the limited editions. Plus my b-day is in november so i'll probably treat myself to one then =P

It may be due to regional licensing, but there are different PSN regions. Japan (gets all the stuff first), US (gets the more popular stuff), European (gets almost nothing).
You can make an account for all regions without any big issues, but you will need to use a proper (but fake) address to register, as well as separate emails for each of them. Since your credit card address should match your home address, you can't use it for games in other regions, and you'll need to get pre-paid card codes (from sites like Ebay) to fill your online wallet. The last issue is that whenever you want to play anything you've downloaded, your PSP must have the correct account active, and you need to connect to PSN and login to set your active account. It's a sort of DRM system.

My credit card used to work in the US PSN store (I'm Finnish) last year, but does not anymore. They probably changed something. Sony apparently does not want my money.
