Is it worth buying eletronics when in Japan

Is it worth buying eletronics when in Japan?
I'm off to Japan in a few days (from New Zealand) for a school trip and have spending money to take. I would like to get either a Xbox 360 or Play Station 3 (have a Wii) and am interested to know if they are sold in Japan at much lower prices and whether its worth it? My teacher says you can get Apple products e.g laptops much cheaper in Japan than here in NZ (but don't really need apple stuff as I already have a laptop and ipod touch). Also would it be cheaper/easier to get an xbox 360 in Japan's duty free at the airport, or actually in-store in Japan. Will they work in N.Z and run in English?

Answer 1 :
Well your probably are losing money because there is a huge tax fee for transferring currencies from any to another so just buy it in new Zealand and get ps3 xbox doesnt have blue ray and I personally regret buying a xbox
Answer 2 :
Don't get game consoles or video equipment there. They are incompatible with your TVs, plus you will not be able to play games, DVDs, and some Blu-Ray movies you can locally buy at home, due to region protections. The menus will be likely be Japanese, but you may have English options
