I'm on the verge of finally getting a PSP but don't want to buy one if theres a price drop or alternate colors coming out soon. Anyone know of any rumors?
import a white psp...it's worth the extra few bucks (unless you plan to watch UMDs.) the buttons and D-pad are better, and the smudges aren't as noticeable.
Ya thanks everyone : ) White was really what I was interested in, but will I still be able to play U.S./ JP games on it even if it's a European model? Or do you thinkt hey might employ some region lock( for games) in the future if there isn't one now?
From what I heard, the reason Sony doesn't do multiple colors because they know certain SKUs will be favored over the other, and they don't want to deal a certain SKU not selling as well.
Anyway, it doesn't bother me, since black is my favorite color for a handheld/console. I really don't like the color white at all, so even if I could get a white PSP, I would not.

PSP's are region free so a European PSP will play everything from the US, Japan, and Europe. The only place you'd run into problems is UMD movies because with a European PSP you could only watch European UMD movies... but that's not why you're buying the system (I hope.)

Nope lol, thanks! All my worries and questions have been answered!
Now the hard part of finding a good cheap importer.
Thanks Chacrana and everyone for helping me out!
