Well it's wrong in the first place, Blu-ray discs do have region codes. However unlike DVD and such that have come before it, Japan and America are in the same region (woo!) though it's still possible to lock out games through software without the hardware region locks. AS far as that, you have your console set in English it's still a Japanese console. I have mine set to Japanese to force me to use it daily(well okay I don't play my PS3 daily but it was the idea) so I don't get too rusty. That doesn't make it a Japanese console.
