I am thinking of buying a PSP from the US and bringing it back to UK/Europe and SG. Been looking up online and lotsa of sites mentioned that the PSP are not region locked so I can play any games on my PSP bought from US. But when I walk into the stores in the US. They mentioned that the PSP is region locked so I can only play with games bought in the US.
The other thing is the different voltage, US has a lower voltage than SG / UK. Does the PSP comes with a converter or I need a separate one.
Totally confused....

Games are region free. Mine is a UK model, but I use it in Eastern Europe (slightly different zoning). Movies aren't region-free, but who cares. Just download a program from www.pspvideo9.com and convert almost any movie into PSP's format for free. Voltage is 100~240V.

The games are region free, so you can buy games from any country. You won't be able to watch UMD's unless you buy the US versions. I purchased my PSP in Japan, and have games that I bought from the UK and Australia, and all work fine.
As for the power, I had the same problem. Apparently the PSP has a converter built-in, so you'll just need a plug adapter - I went to an electronic shop and it was cheaper just to buy a new power cord for it. Otherwise you could contact Sony in your home country and order a cord for it.

You can play games from other countries but you can't play UMD movies on it. I brought mine back to Vietnam and I didn't need any plug adapter for it. Sony's supports 110-220 volts I think (the one that comes with your PSP when you first purchased). Correct me if I'm wrong.
