Hello Andrew,

Thank you for writing us.

Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) has implemented a territorial-based distribution system for
its hardware, peripherals, and software. This limits the use of any particular software to play on
the console designated for that distribution territory (e.g. North American games will not play in
the systems designed for other regions, such as, Japan, Europe, etc.).

We do not have any official information on adapters or converters made to override territorial
restrictions. The various PlayStation(R) consoles and format software titles are only designed to
run in their respective regions and countries. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Thanks for that info Andrew, that's really useful to know

No doubt there will be someway of changing them. My son informed me that Sony are delaying the launch here because the demand in the US is so great they are taking so many thousand units that were destined for here and shipping over there!!

Try dvdboxoffice.com for a great price (£139) including shipping to the UK

Andrew, Thanks for the update, Sony have obviously changed their tune now. Will just have to keep going over to Florida and buy games over there [msntongue]

Our thoughts too!

My hubby bought one in Florida on day of release. Excellent quality. He watched the Spiderman DVD on the plane on way home and was very impressed with the picture quality. I enquired last week about release date in UK and was told probably Sept 2005.

I bought one of these on the day. of release. It is a fantastic machine. It is relatively straightforward to use , including uploading holiday snaps to watch as a_slideshow. I have also used it to download television programs from the u.s. (via the Internet(E.G. the new Kojak show) to watch in bed (My wife likes to read. in bed a lot)
My own understanding is that there are no issues with gameS bought in the country ,only the films - which are region-protected.

I hesitate to write this as it makes my last post sound like a sales ad. but... I do have a Spare PSP still sealed in its box for sale. P.M. me if Interested, predicted U.K. price is between 179' 99 and 199-99. I am splitting the difference and selling for 185 plus postage.
