Re: Coded = 5,490 Yen?!?

Japan have a smaller population of Gamer who buy videogames obsessively. Remember, Japan isn't as hardcore as western countries in which we buy and look forward to our release.

In Japan, you're lucky if you hit the 300,000 mark unless you're Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest or something Nintendo.

Re: Coded = 5,490 Yen?!?

i think people are forgetting the exchange rates again haha

in australia here, if i buy something like bbs brand new from the store, it'll cost 70 bucks, 90 for special edition. but if i buy the US version on play asia WITH conversion rates, it translates to about 55 bucks.

rip off. buy online everyone. thats the moral of this story.

Well, it's his bloody fault for living in Twilight Town, considering they spend the majority of their budget on that stupid mansion. And for what, to be never used unless Diz decides to be a fucking freeloader.

Totally explains why the watermelon is 2000 munny apiece. /epiphany

i order games from amazon though.

Are you sure you use dollars where you live?

I doubt you use dollars where you live, because that price is insane.

Re: Coded = 5,490 Yen?!?

Well i did the currency conversion and that's $62.91. Does that price seem high to anyone else, considering BbS will only cost $40? Thoughts?

Birth by Sleep launched in Japan at 6090 yen, almost 70 dollars.

Different countries have different costs for video games. =)

Japan is the richest country in the world.

No it's not, they just got out of a ten year recession. They aren't even in the top ten.

Although at one time they were the entire world's third largest economy.

LOLWAT.
If that's just the price for a handheld game, i'd hate to see the prices for a console game.

I remember seeing Final Fantasy X at JUSCO costing 7,000 yen, which is about $70.
