Why exactly would u need a language patch? The Jap one is a GENERIC console & u simply choose whatever language u want.
The first option when u turn it on for the first time is select language so the PSP is entirely in English now.

The manual is Japanese & parts of the games are but thats all. And it will play UK games anyway

Regarding the game loading up at startup. I never actually turn my PSP off & just leave it in standby it then boots up to the last view i.e. in the game or in the menu system.

I did a test & the battery hardly changes in standby mode even if left over days.

I've played RR & Lumines. Any other JAP games you can recommend which don't rely on you knowing Japanese.

I'm looking forward to the Baldur's Gate type game & especially Mercury.

PS If you didn't know you can download a English pdf manual now anyway.

I imported mine at silly price but got it on 20th December ready for Christmas

yeh but i read somewhere (either Games Master magazine or GAME) that it will be region free for games but developers will b able to add region coding to games if they feel they want to which would effectivly make it a non region free console.... i didnt know but the XBOX is in fact a region free console but the games makers place a region code on the games to stop games from one country working on a console from another country.... this could happen with the PSP guys...

but who cares its still fookin amazin an i will buy the UK model a few weeks after release wen its all calmed down a bit...

Yes, but don't forget that Japan & UK are both region 2 so can't loose importing to UK (one of reasons I took the plunge). US is a different matter.

@ psikey

I'd thought about leavin it in stanby myself but I wasn't sure about the effect on the battery. You say it hardly drains any, hmm interesting

@ voda_jon
I don't see how that would work. If a console is region free that would suggest they are all the same & hence all games work.
For the game to be able to tell the console not to play it would suggest the console is programmed to know which region the game is from & only play it if it is from the same region as the console itself...........
Therefore they're not all the same & its NOT region free in the first place!

Surely its either region free or not, it can't be selectively both can it?

Ah, great.
Yes I have ImageConverter 2 & what a great app it is.
Does this patch make the entire thing English as I have one which is partly English but the rest is a lot of question marks!
