Amazon.co.jp Now Ships Games Internationally

[BulletMagnet]

I don't use Amazon a heck of a lot myself, but for fellow importers that do I figured I'd best pass it along.

Pretty cool

[waiwainl]

Oh Nice - is it still interesting for shmuppers these days?

[MintyTheCat]

Good, that removes a lot of the messing around.

Does anybody know, if I have a Prime account with Amazon US, does that apply on Amazon JP at all?

Nah I don't think so, you probably need to create a whole new account for amazon.co.jp anyway.

This is great news. RIP extortionate import shops.

Tried to buy a few games, but they didn't allow shipping to my address. Seems like it might be hard to find official Amazon sellers for some games, but very cool nonetheless.

Rancor will go bankrupt.

lol - I don't think I've sold a new game this year. Not exactly what I do.

I don't know that I ever did... except for limited editions.

If anything like amazon.com, the shipping rates and import tax rates means there's finally a place that will make Play-Asia look cheap by comparison.

If it's anything like their books, the shipping will be $8-$10 and there won't be an import tax if you live in God's favorite cuntry, America. If you're in one of the socialist ones though you're SOL.

For fun, I checked out the cost of getting (another) Dariusburst Chronicle Saviours for the PS Vita. Shipping to the US was a shave more than $11.

Would that be a ball shave, or a face shave?

And now I'm uncomfortable.

Must be the shoddy ball shave.

It's not less than buying from yesasia, EBay, or Amazon US
