It seems you have not heard of the freeloader.

As for games, if you fish arround on the net you can find sites reviewing Japanese games and giving an impression about how much linguistic knowledge is needed to understand them. Oh, and incase you don't know, you can't run Japanese games straight off a UK console - you'll need some clever device to allow the console to play them. (Is the software chip disc thing out?)
