Games are not region locked but UMD movies are. I think US is region 1 and we are region 2, so they'll not work.

So does it follow that if you bought a PSP over there our games would work on it.

Yes - the games will work, but not the films. Just rip DVDs onto a memory stick instead.

You can buy the UMDs for amazon.com of course.

You just replace the US mains lead with a UK (figure of eight) one.

The PSP my son has with his machine has a standard UK plug to the transformer (No figure 8 connector) and then out to the PSP. The Transformer states though input 100-230V so I suppose you could just cut the US plug off and put a british one on.

If you don't want to do that they do sell replacement UK chargers on ebay.

My US bought PSP mains adapter has a pull out lead at the mains end, which I just replaced with a UK lead (figure of eight type). You could equally well cut off the US plug and wire the lead into a UK one. I just found it easier to replace the lead as I had a spare one anyway. If you don't cut the US plug off, you can always use the lead again when you visit the states.
