Well im going to buy a PS3 but it will be from Japan. Is there any reason why I shouldn't get it from Japan? I can easily just get one from duty free. Im from Australia.

Thanks

Not sure but is there some region restriction ? And what about the language ? You better make sure of these things before getting it.I would recommend you to get it from the place where you live.Wouldnt create any problem for you !

Get one where you live to be safe. If you need to play import games, you still can.

There is no region restriction...on games at least. Also the language wouldn't be a problem if your talking about the language in the game, because thats one of the first things they ask when you start the PS3 for the first time.
