Yesterday's update prompted a flurry of preorders and questions. Since there were so many of the same inquiries, here are some answers:Why isn't NCS accepting preorders for the 60GB PS3?
According to suppliers in Japan, the 60GB model will be scarce. To be assured that we'll receive the quantities that we need for the launch, they recommended that we submit preorders for the 20GB model which they can supply. Chances of importing the 60GB PS3 appear low at this time.
I thought the 20GB PS3 didn't include an HDMI port?
Sony announced at the Tokyo Game Show that both 20GB and 60GB models will include the HDMI port. The only other difference other than the HDD size is the Wifi functionality out of the box and the Memory Stick/Multimedia Card reader.
Can a Japanese PS3 play USA PS3 games?
Unlikely, but we won't be able to confirm PS3 region lockouts until we test a Japanese console with a USA game and vice versa. NCS is aware of the rumors of "region-free PS3" out there but we're dismissing them.
