(I've moved the PS2 and PSP lists here to free up space on the original posts)
Sony Playstation 2
The PS2 is region-locked so you can't play games from Japan on a standard European or American console (which is a shame as there were loads of mahjong titles for the PS2).
*Yakuza 2 [9/08]
- English language version of
Ryū ga Gotoku 2
- gangster adventure/action/fighting game set in modern Shinjuku and Osaka
- minigames include shōgi, casino and mahjong game with basic options

This is the one that got me into mahjong!
Sony Playstation Portable (PSP)
Most PSP games should be region-free but movies on UMD (the PSP's unique disc format) will be region-locked.
The console does not support multiple user profiles but it's simple to delete one user and add another. Registering an account in Japan or Hong Kong gives access to the PSN stores for those territories.
The smaller "PSP go" model is designed to use download content only. It has no UMD drive so it cannot play game/movie discs.
