Go to eBay and get US games for around £35. If you imported a PSP to wait for UK games, then you're being thick. You know it's multiregion, you know there's import sites that sell US games. Buy US games for now. End of matter.

Even when they come out in the UK it looks like it will still be cheaper to import. Here is a comparison of PSP game costs, including the cost of shipping to the UK, that I put together for another forum about a week ago. I used the US version of Wipeout Pure as an example and this is what I found.

Code:

Site                       Shipping from    US$         UK£
www.Lik-Sang.com           Hong Kong        49.90       26.67
www.dvdcrave.com           Australia        49.14       26.26
www.dvdboxoffice.com       Canada           44.42       23.74
www.electricbirdland.co.uk UK               85.13       45.49

For the UK edition (whenever that becomes available) the current prices vary from £29.99 (US$56.13) at Amazon UK and £34.99 (US$65.45) at play.com.

The UK sites all include UK sales tax @ 17.5% (V.A.T.).
Packages from the other sites should in theory attract the same tax when they are imported plus import duty and a fee from the courier to collect it. But from past experience those sites ship from within the EU somehow and therefore avoid this.

I couldn't believe electricbirdland could be so much more that the others, but they are. The do have a link on their page saying "seen cheaper? we'll beat 'em!" though.
