(* the PS3 does have region control capability for games in it, but no-one has released a game that enforces it yet)
Thanks for the correction -- I was getting frustrated about my region-controlled Wii. With Gran Turismo 5 coming out, you might've just clinched a deal for me to go pick up a PS3 (in the US) and a bunch of Japanese game titles (specifically, yeah, Densha de Go...)!
