The DS3's aren't bundled with systems in Japan, as far as I know, so I don't see why that trend would change for the other territories.

The only console that is even rumored to be bundled with a DS3 is whatever will be replacing the 80gb here in NA.

As for the quality of the system, I'd just ask to see it before purchasing. Make sure it's not beat up, etc. If it has problems when you get it home, you can either return it, or ship it off to Sony. They'll send you a replacement for a relatively cheap price ($140 USD here), which would still be far cheaper than buying a new 40gb.

Of course, that's assuming you're okay with owning a used system in the first place, but considering the fact that you made this thread, I guess that you are. Personally, I generally avoid buying used stuff, but that's because of my OCD more than anything else.

As for the classic games, they've already hit Japan, and I'm sure they'll be hitting NA and PAL sometime soon.
