Have you seen the exchange rate recently? Back in October it was ~180 Yen to the pound and today it's ~130 I only mention it because this week I bought a new guitar at the 'old' price of £880; the same guitar from the same (and every other) music shop is now ~£1200!! Reason given: "It's the strength of the Yen against the pound, sir..."
I'm happy since I got it for the 'old' price but this trend could have a major impact assuming it carries through to TVs, cameras and all the other japanese goods we import. So if you've had your eye on that 50" flat screen for a while it might be worthwhile grabbing it sooner rather than later. Just a thought...
