My PS3 was the first UK console I had owned after years of playing almost all imports, and this really threw me. :'D It wouldn't have been as bad if it was just the system interface, and if all of the Japanese games I played on it retained the O/confirm, X/cancel button layout I had grown used to, but a lot of Japanese PS3 games actually detect the region of your console and switch the button layout accordingly, so I had this weird and situation where some of the games I played would use the UK button layout, and others wouldn't. It was really confusing.
