Is there a difference between the Japanese PS3 and the American/European PS3?

Title pretty much says it all.

Basically I've been offered an import Japanese PS3 and I want to know if there was anything I need to be aware of. What will work and what wont work etc.

Firstly, I live in the UK, I know that it won't play any blu-ray movies (due to being in a different region) or DVDs, but what about games? Would it be limited to Japanese games only and is it possible to change the language?

TV signal as well, would it work ok on a PAL TV? I'm planning on getting an HDTV at somepoint but that wouldn't be for a little while yet.

I'm particularly worried about the power supply. I can easily get an adapter to change the plug but is there any difference in the voltage/current etc that the PSU will accept?

So many questions so little time 🙂

I'm also interested in knowing if theres anything different with the US model, just for a sake of completion 😉
