Is there any difference between the black and white PSP beside to color? I have the black one but I was thinking about getting the white one. I realize that I would have to import this from Japan so is there a way to change everything into english?

i read way before that white psp's d-pad is slightly raised more than the black's so it's easier for fighting games. I haven't tried/tested the black psp though. but i'm having no problems for the white psp's d-pad for diagonals. the d-pad was the reason i chose white over black. if you can try them out both to see for yourself, the better.

yes, there is a language changing option in the settings. I even updated it with NA firmware no problems(whew). even the instruction manual has english alongside. also, white is a definite dust magnet, while black is a fingerprint smudge magnet.

Well, i'm not too sure about the d-pad being raised a bit more but the only differences I know of are that the white PSPs can only play UMD movies for where they came from, so you couldn't play NA UMD movies.  Another difference is that if you get a japanese white PSP they use the O button for selecting stuff instead of the X button like we use here in NA (North America).  Oh, and i'm pretty sure that the new screen is just a mythm why wouldn't Sony put the newer quality screens on it's NA ones? It's not like Sony only made one batch of NA PSPs.  Hope this helps :)

Other than the region for UMD movies, which most people don't care about anyway, it is mostly cosmetically different.  My roommate has a black PSP, and I just got a white one.  He likes his, and I like mine.  Just get whichever color you like more (it honestly isn't that hard to get used to hitting O for selecting things instead of X).

You'd think, and to be honest I never found it an issue, but a friend of mine bought snake eater, a few weeks later when I saw him I asked him what he thought of it and he said it was crap becuase he couldn't get passed the title screen.

Although the black psp looks slightly cooler, I have bought both colours and personally feel that the white psp is far better in mantaining its sleek look. If you play with a black psp, your fingerprints smudge the whole console and you cant get them off, it'll just smudge more! The white psp does not show any fingerprints or smudges and looks sexy, if not sexier than the black psp. Anyway, a psp is a psp, better than getting a DS! rofl !!!!!
