Yes, but you can just say that you already had it...they probably wont even notice it unless you tell them...just dont bring the box but only the stuff that you bought

3. I know non US umd films will not work, but will ALL wordwide games work?
Yes

Thanks for the quick reply but im still not sure....

Ive heard that the same games from different regions wont work together (multiplayetr)

ALso, if it develops a problem (I.e. dead pixels etc) will there be a warranty and will it be valid in the uk?

If there's a problem, send it back to the company in the US.

Yes, it will work with other people's systems. I play regularly with a friend who got his in Japan, and mine is from the US.

Well, If you buy from America, you have to get movies from America or region 1 movies. You should import from Japan because their movie region is the same as the UK PSP's.
