    I was thinking of buying the ceramic white Playstation 3 console, The Japanese one. I was wondering is it worth it ? I mean for the japanese only games. Anyone know where I can find a list of all the games exclusive to Japan ? Is there any first person or 3rd person shooters ?

    PS3 is region free so it’s not worth buying a console just for Japan-only games unless you wanted the particular model for collection purposes.

    You’ll probably have to trawl through forums for a definitive list of Japan-only PS3 games, and lots have come out in the West eventually on PC or other systems. Others like Boku no Natsuyasumi 3 would require good Japanese or a fan guide beside you. Not sure there are quite as many absolute gems as some other consoles, but there are definitely some. https://www.neogaf.com/threads/what-are-japan-only-ps3-games-worth-importing.821086/

    There is an amazing selection of retro games on the PSN PS3 JP store. Easiest and cheapest (legal) way to play hard-to-find classics like Einhander. It’s a bit trickier to add funds to old PS3 accounts these days though - you need to use vouchers or add them to your wallet on the more recent consoles.
