Got it, absolutely mint, menu is in English and software is in English also! Anyone importing from Japan don't worry, it will work with an English PC setup!

Haha dont worry. I lived in Tokyo for a year so I have good friends over there. I've ordered so many psp's, digital cameras, and what not that it's absurd! I usually sell stuff on Ebay, and i've imported stuff over 50 times now, and only once been stung by customs. They still charged me according to the "value" on the package which was bullshit of course so it wasn't too bad. The A3000 can be bought in Tokyo for about 26,0000 yen brand new if you look around, but i can get it for under 20,000 yen. I can read kana and a little kanji so even if it wasn't in English I wouldn't mind, but it's my brother who wants it yet he has no proficiency in Japanese...that's why I decided to do a little research on this product. I'll hopefully buy one this week so I guess i'll find out about the software included and whether it works on an English OS or not.

" I can get it quite cheap from Japan, under £100 including postage...."

That was it basically. The Japanese software won't install on English Windows XP or do you mean that it is impossible to use because it's all in Japanese? Finally is the English version of the software downloadable and would it conflict with the Japanese device?

OK I found out that there is English support from a seller on Ebay. It wouldn't have hurt Sony to list English language support on their Japanese website, they simply stated Kanji support, but my other questions remain. Thanks

Hi, does anyone know if the A3000 Japanese version has an English menu? I can get it quite cheap from Japan, under £100 including postage, so would there be any other drawbacks of a Japanese version, especially in terms of software? Thanks
