The PSP

With the news that the PSP is going to be released in Europe on the 1st of September I’ve been looking at getting the hand held console from another source; the US of A. There is but one possible flaw in my plan and that is region coding. I’ve been searching and searching and I just can’t find any information on whether the PSP’s from the US will only be able to play games and films from the US.

Is there anyone who has a PSP who knows whether region coding is going to be a problem for me if I order one from the states? Answers on a postcard.
