Only drawbacks (over a UK PS3).:

BR movie regions , US & Japan are in 1, Europe in another, though MANY BR disks seem to lack this region coding anyuhow.

PS1/2 games are region coded, lots of UK PS2 games?

DVD's, guess it wont play REG2 DVD's etiher.

At some point games publishers could region code games too, despite sony's promise, its down to the publisher.

Its not a huge list, biggest worry for me would be warrenty, theres been a number of broken PS3's imported.

US or Jap PS3 makes no real diff.
