your in the wrong section dude but still.

ps3's are multi-regional so they will be able to play all games.

But, who knows, there might be a firmware update soon which means there put into regions.

so what happens if it gets put into regions would i have to buy ps3 games in the UK or Japan?

If the firmware does change to regions, you will need to buy jap games.

As it will technically be a jap console.

I doubt it will happen though.

i think all games for the ps3 are region free, but moives are not! so if you get a Japanese ps3 you can only play Asian films

Like I've said a few times before the standard DVD's for Jap machines is region 2 like Europe but the BlueRay DVD's are region 1 like America, (DVD movie regions are locked). So if you bought a jap PS3 and wanted to watch HD movies you would have to buy jap or yank BlueRay discs.

As for changing the language I don't know.
