It's amazing :eek:

We ordered some things from Japan, and they came today, And the box was laced with magazine snippets and leaflets.

I sadly had a look at some of the leaflets.

And theres video games and consoles on there.

40,000 Yen for a 60gb PS3.

12,000 Yen for a Nintendo DS

10, 000 Yen for an XBOX 360!! :eek: (Cheaper than a DS??)


The pricing in Japan is amazing!
 
Yep it's pretty disgusting, they'll be paying the Japanese to take them off the shelves next. :p

Meanwhile, in rip off Britain we continue to get shafted. :(
 
A mate of mine left his job here and flew off to Hong Kong (even cheaper than Japan) and now sells electrical goods from there via eBay for a tidy sum, I think last I spoke to him he was making £2000 profit per week! And he said it wasn't exactly hard work.
 
Not surprising about the 360 with it supposedly not even selling the initial launch batch - makes you wonder what the 3 red light situation is over there. I'd be tempted to grab another one at that price just to play all the weird Japanese games again.
 
£44 for a 360 surely not.

I thought that, But I've looked at a few sites, and it looks pretty close. Well Cheap! But as said, 360 isn't doing very well over there atall.

Games seem to average between 2000 and 3000 Yen, Which is crazy. As that works out at under £10 to £14. :confused:

I'm going to work on scanning the leaflet in to show you guys. I don't have a scanner, So will get my brother to scan it later.
