"Uncharted has guns. And guns shoot people. Shooting people causes people to bleed. Not in Japan, apparently! When played on a Japanese PS3, Uncharted is bloodless. Sure, Japan has done this before with games like Dead Rising and Resistance. It doesn't matter where you bought Uncharted as the game's still bloodless. The origin of the disc does not matter, but rather, the hardware does."

It came as kind of a surprise to me too, but I don't really know why. I've always known the Japanese game market was more conservative than the American, but I didn't realize that it was a hardware fix that removed gore from games.
