Yeah, I still use my regular (region-free) DVD player to play my DVDs on so it's not that big of a deal to me either--besides you can still play region "0" disc on any sort of PS3 anyway.

But as for the best place to import one, try: www.play-asia.com

That's where I got mines. They got a least the most decent import price for JP systems and you won't have to worry about customs or VAT (if you're a US gamer that is).

In my searches for compatibility I didn't see any site mention that the US and Japan share the same region for Blu-Ray. That makes it very easy! DVD's are obviously not going to work, but hell if anything I'll pick up a stand alone. Cheap as hell anyway.

Now I just need to figure out the best way to import this thing, or of course just hope that the decide to bring it the US.

Well I actually have a ceramic white JPN one and I don't really have any problems playing most of the Blu-Rays I've bought--pretty much all my BRs are US version release. Actually as far as Blu-Ray goes, unlike w/ DVDs, US and JPN (and I believe Hong Kong is included too) both share the same BR region coding "A". So you shouldn't have any issues playing Taledaga Nights, The Simpsons, and your Predator BRs.

Side note though....I'm still mad as hell JPN slipped in and dropped that damn satin silver AFTER I bought my ceramic white PS3. >_<

If that's true, I'll probably just ebay the system...

Maybe they are trying to change that with all the bundles.

The good news it seems like the great majority of Blu-Rays that I personally own are region free. The bad news is that The Simpsons Movie, Talladega Nights, and Predator aren't. Now I have a decision to make. I guess I could just import some Blu-Rays that I really want which aren't region free, but I don't know. q

Actually I already have a pretty good amount of Blu-Ray's, so I'll check into those first and see where they fall.

most of the blu-ray movies that have been released are region-free. however, some have been region encoded.

I would google the film in question that you're after prior to purchasing to ensure that it's region-free if you decide to persue a jp ps3.

Are PS3's region free? From the things I've read they are region-free for games, but my concern is movies. I'd import the white or silver if they were, but I get the feeling they aren't region free for movies as that was always one of the trumpeted features of HD-DVD drives.

With all the mandatory 5 GB installs and the system lasting for 10 years, you'd want to do that now instead of later down the road.
