Thought I'd let everyone know that among the wonderful deals they usually have (and have now due to the holiday shopping season), you can add EXCELLENT prices on blu-ray movies. I just picked up Independence Day and The Dark Knight (both blu ray) for about 4500円 total.

Check it out!

追伸: It's also worth noting that Japanese Blu-Ray disks WILL play on an American PS3, as Blu-Ray is the same region code for both the US and Japan. I know this is pretty common knowledge, but there might still be some out there who don't know (or think it only applies to games).

Region codes are precisely why I hate Bluray. I'm in Europe and I can play all the Japanese DVDs I want, but it changed with Bluray and the zone has changed for some reason (even though I'm happy for those who live in America and can play Japanese Bluerays )

Too bad amazon.co.jp's shippings are a joke compared to most Japanese sites which ship internationally.

Tobberoth, I agree so much it hurts.

Their selection is so amazing, but the shipping is just ridiculous. Who can afford that?

Yeah, it's horrible. I used amazon.co.jp all the time when I lived in Japan, I love the site. But the shipping just isn't feasible

The shipping to America is pretty bad. The shipping to Europe is like being kicked in the face.

With the sale I was able to order two blu-rays and even with the slightly ridiculous shipping, I was still able to get it for less than it would be if I just walked into a store in Japan and bought them. Not to mention, this sale is perfect for those actually living there currently.

Hell, I might go back before it's over (1/11 I believe) and get a few more to ship to a friend for when I'm back in (hopefully) under a year!
