A lot of cost goes into translation thus profitability becomes tenuous for many titles. Remove that barrier and a world of Japanese wonder comes rushing to your screen.
Not MY screen, it doesn't. If you can't be bothered to translate the text, I'm not interested. I DO appreciate that they aren't charging a completely unnecessary PREMIUM for imports like a certain other company, though...
Also, I read elsewhere recently that MonkeyPaw Games does intend to translate games that NEED it, including an RPG they have in the pipeline. Now THAT'S exciting!

@Strofan....nope I saw that ages ago and I have no idea where I saw it, I actually think it was in a Gameinformer, and for you other question about RE5/Heavy Rain Move editions, they are still playable with the regular controllers they just have the DLC and Move updates on the disc. You get more for you money that way even if you dont have the controller (Move).

Anyway. I completed Borderlands by accident. lol I went online and these 3 guys helped me out and it was awesome. But one of them was level 61 and the rest were in the level 30's. We were unstoppable. The last boss was killed in 5 seconds. No joke. After the cutscene came on,the boss appeared and then he was gone.
I think one of them was hacking but I couldn't tell. I could only assume it was because he was level 61 and maxed out. Still have missions to do. Got 629 Trophies now. Moving on up.

@Sean: I direct your attention here. It seems that MonkeyPaw approached Sony of Europe with this idea, but they turned them down. It's up to you, the interested European gamer, to speak up if you want this stuff.

Or you can just buy direct from the Japanese PSN store. Problem solved.
@WaltzElf: If they're not even going to bother translating the damn things, yeah. However, buying from the Japanese PSN can get pretty expensive. It's possible that it might be cheaper getting these games from local PSN stores.

Not really for Europeans. The Yen/ Euro exchange rate isn't too bad right now, and Japanese PSN games are cheap enough, so the cost to import a Japanese PSN card and log into the store would be roughly equivilent to buying the things locally.
For Americans, then yeah, the dollar is so weak at the moment that you're best off not doing that.
@sean007 The second playthrough in borderlands has better loot and stronger baddies,I recommend playing it through a second time add me if you wanna play I think the imports idea is great, probably gonna get a few
@Strofan: I dunno about that "nothing too important" bit. Seems to me there's a certain character's appearance in Uncharted 2 whose interactions wouldn't make a lick of sense without playing 1 first.
