if u have a old cell phone... get a new one... they have some of the nicest ones out there.... but then would she know what u like, and it would only work if u had a GSM carrier.
Games probably wont work on different version PSP's... i think... anybody actually know?

i would advise not getting a cellphone from over there. As they use different outlet adapters. So you wont be able to charge it over in the americas. And they will most likely not have a carrier. But yes, they do have nice phones.

if u get a GSM phone from a brand sold in america (ex: motorola) they will work in the US with carriers like cingular, tmobile, att and you can get a us charger as the plugs on the phone are standard. We ordered my buddy a phone from Japan before and it all worked out fine

You can do it but the problems being it wont work the same on the network limiting the way things work and the reception and on top of that there is no ATT anymore but they are buying themselves back from cingular

or stock up on some 360's since they are over stocked. And sell them on ebay triple its worth.

Actually monkey, I think you are trying to say that we can't play the jap games because it's different regions... that's wrong, because games don't matter, it's the movies...we are region2, they're region1, out PSP reads region2 movie UMD which means we can't watch any of their movies but we can play the games...
-if you're saying about the firmware...then yea..that's a whole new story.
