i ordered a backwards compatible japanese ps3 to play some of my japanese ps2 and ps1 games. since japanese ps3 games can be played on a u.s. ps3 system, i really didnt buy it to play japanese ps3 games.
however, i'm interested in playing battlefield 3 for ps3. my question is, could i buy the japanese version of game and play online with u.s. players? and if i had the japanese version with the dlc (back to karkand), could i download that and activate my online pass from the u.s. servers?
or should i buy the u.s. version of the game instead?
it's all kind of confusing.
