So who on here is gonna do this?

Games and systems in Japan are more expensive, plus you have to worry about shipping and handling so importing the Japanese system and game is not the wisest decision if you're just a consumer. But if you are like a game journalist or something with the press, you would probably consider it an investment. The region locking would still be a hassle though.

I prefer not to import rpgs anyway since they tend to have a lot of text and the language barrier would make things complicated.

Id hate to not know what im playing with the language barrier, id would one big spoiler until i actually play the game and can understand whats going on. Besides over my budget

 

[MegaWallflower]

I wouldn't, I'm content waiting for the version I can understand. I already have my 3DS, too.

I was gonna at first, but I decided against it, so I got a White Japanese model instead. I figure I'll probably be importing enough Japanese games over the systems life to make buying it worthwhile anyway.

Price:US $699.00 - Huehueheuehueheuhe. Nice try.

I would like to get a JP 3DS, but I can't afford it and I rather save up for a Vita. Shame the 3DS is region locked.

lol is that even legit

800 bucks...

I'm still getting it so I can do livestreams etc. asap `3` Plus it's still KH memorabilia.

Edit: lol ninja'd

I will get it also if it does not come overseas purely because I need it for my KH collection as it is a big item. However, I will not pay over $700 for it considering Play Asia or Toys N Joys will probably have it for $400 or a little more <_<

A Japanese 3DS + The fastest shipping would run you about $250-260 on Play-Asia, which somehow ends up even less expensive than how much a US 3DS cost at launch + tax. (Which was around $273-275)

It's still not that great of an investment unless you plan on importing frequently, though.
