Where has that official date come from? I'd heard June 7th but until it comes out we probably won't know for sure.
______________
Also I've had the chance to check out a US PSP yesterday and you need not worry about the screen. It may well be different and cheaper but there's nothing wrong with how it looks, still an amazing screen for sure and no noticeable difference really although I didn't get to display the same image/movie/game etc on each one simultaneously for side-by-side comparison
Being a Yank one it also had Spiderman 2 on UMD.....WOW!!!!!
Absolutely amazing! The video quality is unbelievable and easily better than any portable DVD player I've seen and with the headset on the sound is fantastic!
The movie was Region 1 so unfortunately didn't work on my Jap PSP but the US PSP won't be able to use Region 2 movies which will be sold in Japan and UK. Bring on Region 2 UMD Movies!

The official date came from Sony themselves today:

Also says on the new Euro Official PSP site:
http://www.yourpsp.com/psp.html
I notice Europeans get a couple of extras in their Value pack: a cloth and demo disk!!
The press release:

@ JoolsG4
Thanks for that info
Disappointing as it delays the Euro games too!
BTW, the US Value Pack also has the cloth and Spiderman 2 is in the box with no need to register.
@ ten18
The screen is still good and all games are region free but as the UMD movies are so amazingly good the movie region is a big thing I think.
Glad I have a Jap region 2 one
U can always import US movies for a US PSP though

First time I've heard that and I doubt it.
There is no logical reason that they'd do that. Also if anything Japan would be more likely to get the better one!
