That's true. Play-asia is generally a bit more expensive. That's why I usually use Amazon JP to order stuff and have tenso ship it for me. Of course, I would have to wait longer since tenso is acting as the middle man.
Amiami is a good alternative. I've used it before too. They have good preorder prices. But, one thing to keep in mind is that they're pretty strict about canceling preorders.

Not sure if I understood this correctly, but are you trying to look for a specific Store exclusive bonus or are you just trying to buy the limited edition? Because limited/regular editions can be found on English import sites like amiami.

I also don't have a really safe place to store any of it after it would arrive. That's not to say it shouldn't be worth it to anyone, there's definitely some awesome stuff, I'm just not sure if it'd be worth it for me to work out how to scoop some up with the effort.
Please forgive me.
I'm wondering if I should maybe just wait for a couple months after the game comes out and see if a copy gets listed on Ebay? Or do people frown upon that? I've purchased a few other iM@S things from Ebay listings that came just fine. I feel like I should probably get a copy from a Japanese site anyway. :-\
*Though my kanji comprehension is a little embarrassing, I won't let it deter me.

I would defo suggest amiami :) easier to navigate and is generally good on price. waiting for ebay is fine too, just takes longer!
Setsuna:
Generally amounts to if there's anything in the special store preorders you really, really want if you want to order from a specific store.
If not, Amiami is your best bet if you want any preorder at all (You can just tell them to ship straight to you) although if you just want the game, you can just get a whole stack of PSN credit (it's what 8000 yen? I've honestly no idea) and just buy a download copy. You'll also get a PS4 theme for all your trouble. There's plenty of places which can sell you PSN credit near immediately.
It'd probably run faster in any case, and you don't have to worry about pesky shipping, and to boot, you'll get the game the moment it releases (barring your download time of course)
If you want the LE (of any kind) it's probably Amiami, unless you live in the Asia or Oceania regions, since I know the posting prices from Play-Asia tend to be cheaper (since they're based in Hong Kong)

better buy it from cdjapan or amiami even if you are in asia region because play asia price plus shipping is more expensive than buying direct from japan.
mariokirby:
Setsuna's post reminded me about the DLC and PSN cards.
I usually buy the 10000 Yen PSN card from play-asia since they have a digital version and can send you the code within a few minutes to an hour.
There might be better places, but just giving a suggestion.
