Except there is no way to rip UMD movies since only the PSP can play them. But of course you can rip any DVD or other video source and play it from memstick. So the UMD issue is kinda moot point. If it bothers you, don't buy UMD movies, buy the DVD version.

2 - with the PSP 1.0, i wont UPDATE it, meaning I missing out on "SOME" games or "ALL" psp games?

I would imagine the earliest games won't be a problem. :P
It should be pretty easier to research specific titles on the net. I don't think anyone is keeping a list, nor will research one just for you. Of course I am sure you merely hoped someone already made a list, but no.

4 - any other information, PRO's and CON's about having the 1.0? thank you in advance.

PRO - homebrew hacking.
CON - Can't update if you want PRO.

#2 is important and expect an answer please.

We don't exist to give answers to people who presume to expect them. As I said in #2, you will need to figure it out on your own. It won't be hard.

You are hanging out with the wrong people.

thank you for the reply...
alright, pretaining to the "early games"... up until what date do I need to stop?

any games after MARCH wont be playable on 1.0? I can do the research but I need a reference to distinguish what is able to be played and what arent, and hell I will make the list myself and post it.. but I dont know where the "LINE" is.

yeah I'll just rip dvd, no biggie there

any other recommend things i need to know bout psp 1.0?

lastly, it just dawned on me, since i purchased and confirmed the psp is 1.0 with the seller and got a pic of the screen and homebrew app on it...

HOW is the "UPDATE" process goes?
does it tell me, do I ewant to continue, so I can say NO, or auto if i do something.. basically, the DO's n DONT's so I dont accidently NOOB my psp into 1.5 :)

[Histo]

I believe the first game they released with an update built in was the 1.51 update which would have been on 05-11-05. So I would worry about anything after that point.
