I don't know, I need to think about this real hard and "yes" I want a Japanese PS3, but don't wish to feel screwed when I will buy it too soon. This other news popped up.

I already posted this a few days ago at VGchartz, but without the rumor about the 160GB being registered by Sony.

Word is being passed around various internet forums about a new PlayStation 3 SKU with specs that will either make your jaw drop, or raise your eyebrows. It all started when folks found out that Sony Sony registered a certain model labeled CECHG06, similar to the 40GB PS3's CECHG01.


Keep in mind that we are yet to receive any confirmations. While there is indeed a CECHG06 model registered to Sony since September 21, 2007 as listed on Singapore's consumer protection website, the leaked specs are currently without proper credit. We're all ears for any official Sony statements, so watch this space!

*****************************************************************

I hope Sony will make some statements about this soon.

FYI
The labels of 40GB model in different countries:

Japan CECHH00/CECHH00 CW
Taiwan CECHG07/CECHG07 CW

I couldn't find the model number for PAL region, is it CECHG01?.

I would assume CECHG06 is the model number for Singapore.

Hope that will help you come up with a decision :)
