Japanese proxy services

Other than the fact that I have no money, I'll just wait for someone else to play it and post iM@S 2 somewhere and watch whatever is there. Which is what I do for all JPN exclusive games. *sigh*


Kaminos EDIT : Move from Idolm@ster 2's thread. Please continue this (intereresting and helpful) conversation in this thread, so we keep the other one clean.

JPN 360s are not as expensive as they once were. You can basically find a second-handed one for 8000 yens, which is still raisonnable.

You and I both.

Except I bought iM@S and L4U in that Twins pack because by God, I intend to play it someday. (The real problem is the dumb expensive 360 ; ; )
edit: 8,000yen? Where?? XD

I'd like the limited edition bonuses for iM@S2, but if I can't scrape together moolah to buy it before it sells out, I'd settle for the normal non-sparkly just fine.

The more iM@S stuff I can get my hands on, the better. XD

It's pretty common in Akihabara, but you can also find a 360 around this price on Yahoo Auction. You can use Crescent Shop to send Yahoo Auction items to your country.

Wouldn't the proxy service end up making it way more expensive? It seems like all the ones I've checked out have a lot of added fees and such (though I guess beggars can't be choosers XD)

I little more expensive, but not "way more". The Xbox would probably be under your TV for 12 000 yens or so.

Huh. Then maybe I'll have to try that out. Way cheaper than the alternative (Play-Asia OTZ)

And then take a stab at iM@S2 XDD

I've heard of a service called Japan to Door as well, but I haven't tried them. From what I gather, you can send something to them, and they can then send it to you. If you leave only the forwarding to them and do the buying yourself, I hear it's quite cheap.

I'll have to try it sometime, I'm thinking of getting some doujin music and trying them out for relatively cheap merchandise. Has anyone used this before?
