The points you mentioned + what I read from the official description on Play-Asia's page are enough to prove me getting US PSP2 would be stupid. Infinity sounds exactly like what I was expecting in the first place form PSP2. I'll just beat the story on Infinity and get the translations somewhere. It's just PSO story anyway lol and I'm not using CFW.

Two little questions...

1) It's a bit late so I'm not completely sure I got you right. Are you saying it's not possible to have 2 different IDs on PSP like on PS3? That I would have to buy a 2nd PSP just to create a Japanese ID?

2) How can I buy these JAP PSN cards and will I have to buy 4 of them due to taxes?
