You won't be able to play American games in English...that's the main point.

Actually, you can. The PS3 allows that.

If you get a US PS3, you`ll miss out on トロステ... One of the biggest reasons we bought a PS3 to begin with.

Really? I thought region codes were in effect. So Japanese PS3s play Region 1 titles?

PS3 games - yes. PS1/PS2, DVDs/Bluray - no.

This time around it looks like they didn`t region encode the games. They`re all region free as far as I know.

forgive my ignorance, but what is トロステ?
nihongo hanaserun desuga, kono baai ni ha kiita koto nain desu.

any other disadvantages of buying ps3 jpn version?

and is it true that games like mg4 and devil may cry 4 can be set to english even though you brought a japanese game?

トロステ is what everyone calls トロ・ステーション, the daily news on まいにちいっしょ.

It`s updated every day. :P
