Doesn't really make any difference. If you imported a Japanese PSP there wouldn't be much change of it being below a 1.51 anyway so you may as well save the hassle of the import and buy a UK model. If homebrew is really important to you (which is the reason I assume you are asking the question) then I suggest you pay a little extra and buy a 1.5 model off ebay or some other place that guarentees a specific version.

Is this one the one to get then???

If you want to use homebrew that is a good deal considering it is no more expensive than a new UK model. I say go for it - you can even collect if you are near London.

sorry to be a pain in the arse but i am a PSP virgin!

Can the JAP model not do anything the UK one can???

Not really. There are some new movies that require V2.0 of the firmware but I believe WABS versions changer allows this to work. However, unless you updated the 1.52 firmware that comes with the UK consoles you would have the same problem but no way of rectifying it without updating to V2.0.

so there are no advantages of buying a UK model! :?

Er......your warranty is easier to use. Thats about it from my point of view.
