At least you can still buy Japanese games, as the ps3 is region free. Imagine if you had brought a German Wii or 360 with you.

Does the situation suck? Totally, but there's no better option out there, outside of PC gaming.

I'd suggest making a Japanese PSN account. It may let you play these games via Japanese servers. Of course, it may not, but if it does, all you've lost is your trophy collection.
