NGL, that seems like an excessive amount of times the word 'foreign' appears in your post.  :P

Also, Google is your friend...

Although PlayStation Portable has no region locking for UMD games; UMD movies are locked by region. However, Sony has confirmed that it is possible to implement region-locking on the PSP, and the firmware will disable features based on region. For example, Asian region PSPs will not display the "Extras" option on the XMB despite having been upgraded to the US version of Firmware 6.20, preventing owners of such PSPs from installing the Comic Book Viewer and the TV Streaming applications. As the applications are installed through a PC, and users from the region are not blocked from downloading them, it is possible to install them on non-Asian PSPs that have been imported into the region.

Yes, with some quick research most DVD and Bluray movies only play on DVD and Bluray machines in there local region, there are some region free bluray players out there doing looking further into this on goggle

Xbox One and PlayStation 4 games I read are not region locked though

(edit) I never heard of UMD movies until now only heard of DVD and Bluray movies

I collected UMD movies back in the day and have like 40 from the UK . As far as I remember some UMDs are region locked and some are region free . Some of the region free ones have the ALL REGION logo on the back , not all do , some say REGION 2 but can play anyways . I have the Little Britain Series 1,2,3 UMDs and they work in my US PSP . The rest of mine are general Hollywood fodder and US TV shows (I assume I bought them because they were UK exclusives) . 90% of what I know about UMD region stuff I've forgotten .

[...]yes I'm including adult foreign movies,adult foreign shows,cat3 movies,JAV & JAV movies[...]

Just a guess, but I don't think there are that many adult movies on the PSP's library...

Xbox One and PS4 ARE region locked for movies (I've tried),  but not for games.
