A PSP 3002 is a PSP-3000 ('brite') for Australia and New Zealand. What it means is, the firmware is region locked to only allow Region 4 UMD movies to be played on it, though games from any region will work.
The number at the end is the PSP's region which can affect the movie UMDs you can play on it, and PSN availability. One marked as PSP-2000 is a Japanese model, PSP-2001 is the North American model.
Only the region they came from. This will determine what movies will play on it, as the movies are region locked (but the games are not). PSP-1000 is the general name for all PSP's of the 1000 series, as opposed to the 2000's and the 3000's. So a 1003, or a 1006, are all 'model 1000' PSPs from different regions. The region code will be printed on the bottom of the console. In this case, if the PSP has PSP-1000, then this is a Japanese PSP. If it has 1003, it is a United Kingdom PSP (Continental Europe has a different code, 1004).
PAL and NTSC usually refer to analogue television formats. Since the PSP has its own proprietary screen, PAL and NTSC in this case refers to the region the PSP comes from, which is important for the purposes of UMD movies and some online services. That means a US PSP can play a game from the UK, the video format is exactly the same. But UMD movies are region restricted so a US PSP can only play US UMD movies.
The number at the end is the region code. PSPs are region locked, but this applies to movies only, not games, a PSP from one region can play any region's games, but it may affect any online use. PSP-3000 is the general name for the 3000 series range, but '3000' specifically is the Japanese regional model, 3001 is North America.
All PSPs are region locked, but the UMD games themselves are not region specific. You can therefore play any PSP game on any PSP (barring the PSP Go which is different), however UMD movies are region locked just like DVDs.
PSP games are not region locked, so yes.
A PSP 3002 is a PSP-3000 ('brite') for Australia and New Zealand. What it means is, the firmware is region locked to only allow Region 4 UMD movies to be played on it, though games from any region will work.
no you can play it on the PSP like the game you purchased said it would work on.
Games aren't region-locked on the PSP, so you just insert the UMD as normal and play.
Yes, PSP games are not region locked, though PSP movies are.
All PSPs are technically NTSC, even ones sold in PAL countries. However, PSP games are region free, so one from any region can play a game from any region.
PSP consoles and games have regions, but the games are not region locked, you can play a game from the US on a console from the UK, for example. Movies however are region locked and can only be played on a PSP from the same region.
From the PSP's menu bar, you can access the PlayStation Network. Once you've purchased a game from it, it can be downloaded to the PSP so you can play it.
The 1000 part is the model (phat) and the number at the end is the region. 1000 is Japan, 1001 is North America, 1002 is Australia/New Zealand, etc. PSP's are region locked when it comes to UMD movies, so that's really the only difference. You could not play a US movie UMD on a PSP-1003 (UK region), though the games are region free and work on any region PSP.
PSP video games are all region free, so no firmware is needed to play them. However, movies are not, so it would depend on the movie in that case.
No, the UMD movies are region-locked. You could only play a Region 1 movie UMD in the USA, for example. The games will work fine on any region though. Obviously an American PSP will not stop playing Region 1 movies if you take the console into another country.
