    The PSP is region free, so it should be ok.

    Ok just found this:
    We finally have confirmation of long-running expectations: the PlayStation Portable will feature a region lock encoding system, but that this lock system will not be used on games. PSP adopts both a "worldwide" and "regional" code system," explains Molly Smith of SCE America. "For games on PSP there is no region code. However, due to language and system issues, quality assurance procedures are done in each territory. Therefore, we recommend purchasing both the hardware and corresponding software in the same market/territory."

    But on the back of tthe game theres a little black box with a number 2 in it and i dont know what else this could mean?

    E.g

    like that lil black box?

    PSP games are not region enabled. Only PSP films on UMD.
