Shadowblade says:

Jeffie, please refrain from name-calling. Its immature and causes fights. Count this as a warning.

Shiversul: yeah, if the ps3 stuffs up, you would need to send it back to the respective country to get fixed. On that note however, I had my Japanese PS3 since launch without a single issue (didn't even freeze in GTA4). So I guess it's not such an issue.

You'll have to fill me in, because I don't know much about Play-Asia.
I'll try to 'research' in the mean time.

Unhostile says:

well... if you go on play-asia.com
there are games and they have a exchange thingy next to the us dollar price..
eg. Call of duty 4: $64usd (US dollars) then they would have another cost next to it for how much it is in australian dollars like ($70)
