Does anyone know if this is supported? Getting a clear answer on this question from the Japanese support line is close to impossible.

Thanks in advance.
I see no problems assuming you have a Japan-issued credit-card (JCB, Visa or Mastercard) - with a Japanese billing address and a PC you can install the Sony custom 'transfer' software onto.

I have not verified, but I would not be surprised if this software was Japanese-Windows only.

If you are hoping to use an Aussie credit-card and billing address, then I think you will probably be disappointed.

Regards,
Marcus
