Other than needing a power adapter, you will not be able to play European UMD movies on the US PSP. But I don't think that is a big deal since they pretty much gave up on those movies anyway. From what I remember, games are region free.

Yes the same thing can be done but you cannot discuss playing gmaes of the memory stick here because its illegal.

The only way to downgrade the slim is with pandora battery. That will allow homebrew.
