my japanese ps3 fatboy

[AllanKyoto]

I lived in Japan for a long time and I bought the launch Ps3. Of course I can't play DVD's or PS2 games from North America although I can play Blu-Rays. Do you think there would be much interest by folks in North America to buy this system? I can't imagine there would be but I do know in Japan the original 'fatboy' PS3's would go for much hire at the local game shops.

I'd pick up some jrpgs and sell it as a package on eBay.

WTF is with the IGN website?

If the firmware is old enough to be jailbroken (3.55 or older I think).

thanks

Is 'eightkyle' a bot? All he does is says thanks in all the threads he's in. I have a feeling he's trying to build up his post counts so that no one notices when he shows his true colors.

Maybe.

I think the Japan PS3s will also play 50Hz content, which the US PS3s do not support. This is good if you import Blu-rays since some are 50Hz and/or have PAL SD extras, even if they are region free.
