Has anyone bought the PSP's selling in Pantip or MBK? Wondering if they an only play Japanese games or can they be modded to play games purchased in the US as well. I also download a lot of movies and MP3's do they use proprietary formats like ACC in order to play?

PSP games are not region encoded (at least for the moment), just the movies have region coding.

So to answer your question yes it will play US, European and Japanese games. It will play MP3 and MPEG movies fine, there are plenty of utilities available on the net to assist you in transferring and reformating movies to fit the display etc etc.
