Seeing as it is a dvd player at heart i think you'll find it may be region coding in place.
As its a pc you would think that games from any country would work or they would have to bereliant on developers to check the country etc. but i think you'll find it'll just use dvd country code checking.

Hmmm...£180, thats pretty low.
Wonder if its because they know they'll bomb in Japan without some kind of incentive to buy the 'Imperialist American Device' ? There's wasn't much attention payed to MS when they made their X-Box debut there at the consumer expos in Japan.
