I wanna get an old Jap PS2 just to get the Jap kit (Lik-Sang were/are

Lik-Sang also sells WonderWitch's, which are strictly reserved to Japan
(you need an email and postal address in Japan to get one), and associated
to a password-protected website, so I think that their selling Linux kits
is no indication that it is easy to get one officially (not to mention okay
from Sony's point of view)...
Personnally, I'm really wanting the thing, but I'm sure that they will
eventually release it over here and that getting and using the Japanese
version is too much trouble. In the meantime, let's just yaroze :)
