If you buy the japanese version you have to send it to japan for repair work. (warrenty) That is the only downside. Besides that its up to you.

The European PS3 is also less compatible with PS2 games (& probably PS1 games as well) as it is missing the Emotion Engine & other parts which were included with the Jap/US versions of the console. So you pay more & you get less.

The PS3 at the moment has only 1 good game ( Resistance: Fall of Man ), If you wait till like Summer or early Winter is when the good games Release ( Metal Gear Solid, Assassin's creed and a few others that will make the PS3 awesome )

But it's up to you if you want to get it now or later

Is virtua fighter really that good? I looked at some movies and thought it was pretty cool, I thought it was just CG like that Gundum game lol
