You should get a Japanese version with (at most) firmware 1.5. The only difference is what type of movies you can play. If you live in Europe you can play movies when they come out if you have a Japanese PSP.

is the firmware what plays the dvds ? also are the japanese ones manual all in japanese or not?

I don't know about the manual but the firmware is the software that the PSP uses to operate. almost like the Operating System for your computer.

The manual is in jap but theres loads of places to print an english one online i would highly recommend it, especially if you live in the uk because you can play europe movies.

is the jap one the same as the european one then?

A european PSP won't come out till September (at least). A Japanese PSP and european PSP can do the exact same thing, but their manuals are in different languages.
