Games From Japan Need HELP!


I was just wondering if anyone could possibly give me some sites that I could order Japan console games from. Also if possible a chance to get the Arcade console for Initial D. Please let me know.

I originally wasn't going to respond to this thread but when I saw the text was in bold and italics, I decided to help you.

Then I edited this post so as not to sound like an a-hole and actually did help you. http://amazon.co.jp/.

Same here. I've only imported from them. Got my stuff cheap and fast all in great condition.

I have a question regarding PlayAsia and a game I've looked up that I hope someone can help me with.

I'm looking at getting a copy of Gundam Battle Royale for the PSP. Looking it up on PlayAsia produces several versions; there are versions from Japan and Korea, which I understand, but then there is a so-called "Asia Version." This version of the game is almost half the price of the others.

What is the situation with this version? Why is it so much less than the others?

I have no idea. Although it might be on sale. The same thing is happening with Crossfire and Target in sight. Two are full price and then one is about half price since it is on sale.

I think its just the diffrent language. I've heard that with some places, the packaging and manual are in say...taiwaneese or korean, but the game itself is in Japanese. Dunno if its the same in this case

I don't think so. I mean even if it is a different language that wouldn't give them any reason to lower the price.

The "Asian" versions of import games generally have instructions in English but the game is in Japanese. One example (that I own) would be Initial D for PSP the Asian version has an English instruction booklet. I'm not sure about Battle Royale though because I have the Japanese version.

Ah, I see. Thank you for the help bluemax. Hopefully that's the case with this game as well.
