It's been awhile so I can't be 100% sure, but I think their power supply is different. i.e. 50Hz whereas NA is 60Hz... In the past, they also encoded the CDs (DVDs) differently so you couldn't play NA games in Japanese systems and the other way around as well. Whether the PS3 also has that limitation I can't say.
