Agreed. I bought my Japanese 360 almost a year ago now, and haven't regretted it once.
I was able to play Bayonetta two or three months early and hopefully I'll be playing No More Heroes: Paradise in a couple weeks. So it's a good investment if you like any other Japanese games other than shmups, too.
This is basically what I was trying to say. I also played Bayonetta way early, will be playing Ketsui, NMH, Senko no Ronde DUO and DeathSmiles 2 in short order here. And I have about 6 other non-shmup games as well on top of all that I've already mentioned. There's a huge amount of great JP exclusive or early release games on 360.
And funny enough, I worked for Deep Discount for 2 years, and we did seem to get in a lot of the smaller profile games that often ended up not being easy to find, but I can't say much about shipping, since I live 30 minutes from the shipping warehouse in Itasca, IL, so it would always arrive quickly.
