it should you just need to get the proper charger. germany uses a different voltage than we do.
2 :
The issue is German electric power, which is 240 volts, and is 50 Hz rather than 60. Check the rating plate on your PSP to see what its voltage and frequency requirements are; the voltage can be adjusted with a step-down transformer, but if the frequency is wrong, you're stuck.
3 :
It will work if you buy a new charger. The charger has a transformer in it so the voltage at the output will be correct for the PSP. The frequency shouldnt be a factor.
4 :
Do what they say to do. A 60 to 50 hz / 110w to 220w adapter is what they are presenting to you. If weight is a problem, sell it and buy another over there, used is cheaper. Be sure to see the sights, history. PSP can wait for rainy days.

sorry to say, NOT VERY WELL we have fallen behind many other counties in academic achievement our best it the Best in the world we have far too many poor performing schools. do to many social and economic reasons histroically the worlds best schooling has moved from place to place. Greece, Rome, India, Arabia, China, France, Germany in modern times America Great Britain had good schools for the upper class and work training for everybody else School or Training is for animals to TEACH the pupils to perform EDUCTATION from E - ducare latin to lead out the best schooling teaches thinking and how to learn, not what to learn We all have problems and successes I suspect you will find american education is more for you to make an effort than for the teacher top instruct you. Nobody will force you to learn

There are four different 'sections' or schooling in the United States: Elementary School (I also include Preschool in this), Middle School or Junior High, High School, and University Education. Elementary school includes Kindergarten through fifth or sixth grade, depending on where you live. In elementary school, you are assigned to one teacher and class and stay with them throughout the entire day for the most part. When you reach higher grade levels (4th, 5th, and 6th) you start rotating classrooms to different teachers, but you still stay with the same classmates. Elementary schools usually run from 8:00 AM to about 3:30 PM with a half hour to forty-five minute lunch break and a recess of the same time period. Kindergarten students usually are only in school for half the day, but that varies by region. Middle School is 6th through 8th grade while Junior High is 7th through 8th (or 9th in certain places). Essentially, they are the same thing. Here you get to choose your classes to some extent and you don't necessarily stay with the same students in each class. You don't have as much of an option over the elective courses you take as you do in High School, but there is an element of freedom that Elementary School doesn't have. They usually run about seven hours per day. High School is 9th through 12th grade (in some areas it starts in 10th grade). Here, you have much more freedom in what you study. Within each class, there are multiple levels of the class you can take. Also, you have the option of doing a work-study program in most areas, where you go to school half the day and work or intern somewhere for the other half. There are also a lot more extracurricular activities, such as sports and theatre, and you can get as involved as you want. You can also run for class president, secretary, and other such positions. My school was about six and a half hours long each day, running from 7:30 AM to 2:10 PM (most high schools go to 2:30 or 3:00) and we had six separate periods and a lunch period. And I don't think that the Universities in the US work much differently than those in England, but you get to pick pretty much everything you want to do there, from what you major in to when you take your classes to how many classes you take. In all the other levels of schooling, your schedule is made for you even if you picked the classes yourself. And then there are private schools, which work differently, but not by much to my knowledge. I don't know because I've never attended one. Anyway, I hope that was what you were looking for! I've often wondered how schools in other countries work.

Does he have a TV and an outlet? Then yes he can use a nintendo gamecube. It isn't like a light bulb.
3 :
The cord has a power converter in it. Thats what the box in the cord is for. You will probably need a different power cord because the outlets will not be the same. The big issue is these consoles are region locked. So you can only play North American games on your North American gamecube.
