Am in Chitown for the day and want to bring back a PSP to the UK.

I dont really benefit from getting an official US one (ie waiting for it to come out), so can any local Chicago Dopers tell me where I can pick up (today!) an import PSP in Chicago. (pref Downtown)

Cheers!!!

Since the PSP will be released in the US on March 24th, I’d suggest that any unit you find today might have fallen off the back of the truck. 🙂

I was referring to an IMPORT Japanese PSP. Perfectly legal.

I will be back in sunny London by Sunday, and the European launch is slated for June… maybe. Am just getting arse ache at always having to wait for months after the US/RoW for Movies/DVDs/Games and hardware. Whilst I am in the US I thought I could pick one up.

If I order online and ship to the UK I will pay $$$$ in import charges.

Basically I was hoping to pick up an import for $280, and play it on the 9 hour flight home.

From my searching I am not having any luck finding anywhere that would have an import PSP in stock in Chicago.
