Hi, I'm looking for a good japanese online store that ships games and consoles overseas. My point is pre-ordering a japanese X360 for example.
Does anybody know a good adress?

Thanks.

Thanks but I already know those two, and besides they're from Hong Kong, I meant a store in Japan. ;)

I don't know any Japanese stores that cater to other countries.

Someone really has to go over there and set up a shop like that.

I'll be opening a store in the US by next month that do just that - most import games will ship direct form the USA but you'll also be able to order bigger things shipped directly from my contact in Japan.
Bigger thing includes:
- Sigma Raijin Supergun
- Jamma PCB (on request)
- video game systems...
- special request (Darius Alpha, rarities...)
- anything not in stock in the US

Smaller things shipping from the USA:
- SFC, MD, PCE, Saturn, DC, PSP and DS games with used boixed system

Ooooooooooh! Do you have a ballpark figure on how much you will charge for one of these?

Brand new Sigma Raijin should be aroung $400, not much less for sure and maybe a little more (it will depends on US Customs and the rate they'll charge me).

Let me know if you are interested as for now I will not stock them but only buy on special orders.

Why does it matter where they're located? Shipping costs would be roughly the same. And I mean, it's the same product, and I believe you can place pre-orders for a 360 with both of them, so...

shipped direct from Japan.

Himeya got some nice/rare stuff but their shipping and prices (all JPN retail + mark ups) are bit high.

Because a X360 directly from japan is about 350$, and by Play-Asia = 529$ (and it's logic they have to import it too), that's why it's a not a question about the shipping costs.

And why a japanese X360? Because of japanese games like enchant arms that comes out on launch day for example. (I have nothing against US X360, I'll buy one launch too.)

Well, I don't think that you can place pre-orders with them, but you could try to get one through Amazon Japan (or if you find another place) and work out a special order with a deputy service like Shopping Mall Japan to get it shipped to you.

Very cool Idea, be sure to let us know when the shop opens up.

Why the hell would anyone want a japanese 360? :conf:
