Can buy from Amazon. But if you don't have people in the US to forward it to you, be prepared to pay more because you have to use vPost. Amazon will not send electronics directly to Malaysia. eBay is a worthy alternative, once you find a seller that's willing to ship to Malaysia. I personally use NCSX tho. A bit more expensive, but at least they ship to Malaysia straight. Comes up to a bit lesser than Amazon + vPost.

I agree with the others tho. Unless you have a really good reason to own a US PSP (i.e. desperately need Region-1 UMD Video support and support for some region-locked US EA games), buying locally can be a bit cheaper. Plus, you can check out the console before buying.

I change my tune about owning US PSP. Stupid Asian PSP no "Extras" even after FW update to 6.20. Confirmed with Sony that the feature is not enabled if install FW 6.20 on Asian PSP. They will only make FW enable it on Asian PSP once the comic reader is launched in Asia, which they don't have a launch date yet, and by the time they launch the function the free Transformers comic promo would most likely be long over. cry.gif

And I take back what I said earlier about buying locally being cheaper. I recalculated. It's roughly the same after tax, duty and vPost.

*grumble* *grumble* pay more *grumble* *grumble* less features. mad.gif vmad.gif
