My question regarding PSP firware actually goes the other way around as you guys have mentioned. Instead of getting Japanese firware to US PSPs, I was wondering if there are any known consequences for downloading US firware to a Japanese PSP. The North American PSP site has warned against possible malfunctions if the update is given to a non-North American PSP (model 1001).
You see, I just got my Ceramic White PSP Giga Pack (teh import!), and I'm not sure if I should just keep downloading the Japanese firware updates or the North American updates.
Hopefully, somebody can answer soon. Thanks.
