I assume that the payment machine would be usable for paying for items bought on the web in Japan as well...so if you are on the net on your PS3 you can purchase fast and securely. It is a USB item so I assume those in Japan already have this for thier PCs and now this is just announcing that PS3 will support it too.

Wish they would hurry up with this in NA....my Esso/Mobil Speedpass could be used for so much more than gas....
