if you get the dual shock 3 from japan as the japanese version, then is the writing on it in japanese e.g the SIXAXIS writing and the Dualshock 3 writing? also, have the controls been swapped e.g circle swapped for x and vice versa.

thanks.

The hardware and software for the DS3 and PS3 is all the same, except the text might be different to suit that country's language which makes sense and isn't a problem at all. The manual also doesn't matter because if you've been using the regular SIXAXIS then you'll be fine because it's just like the SIXAXIS but without rumble.

Why ask about import taxes? It is going to be different for every country in the world. I did not pay import tax on my 2x DS3s. There you go, so did that help at all?
