I've just got my brand new ceramic white PSP from Lik-Sang to go along with my UK one. It looks good and functionality is pretty much the same as the UK one. I've been able to play all my UK games on it as predicted. There seem to be a lot more languages to choose from when you start up the first time, and the 'X' and '0' key functions are swapped. So instead of pressing 'X' to confirm you press '0'. It's not too much of a major thing, and only affects the PSP main menus. Game buttons will be the same as usual. But if you've been playing with the UK PSP for a while now, the buttons being swapped can be a bit annoying. Anyone know of a way to swap the key functions around?

The buttons are physically the same but in Japan, Sony use O for yes/ok wheras in the UK they use X. I'm pretty sure that this is the same across all the Playstation/PS2 brand. I think it's supposed to be a cultural thing because in the west we mark agreement with a tick or cross (voting, marking with a cross if you can't write your name etc.)

I suppose you'd need to flash the unit with a UK firmware (if/when there's a higher version one) to get the menu's working the same as the UK one.

Japanese games use this button layout, too.

I have a UK PSP and mine uses the O for yes/ok. I wonder why there is a difference?

Out of interest, what firmware does your white psp have?
