    Really cool set of games on this one!

    Comment


      Actually triple the cost as it retails for just over 4000 yen so resellers trying it on at 12,000 is a total pisstake.

        Yeah it’s a really nice selection, found out that the party games on the jpn version will do four players it will accept pads via a usb hub for multiplayer gaming.

          Any know if Amazon Japan take pre payment for this or on shipping, I see you can't cancel once ordered.

            They charge you when they ship it.

              Thanks mate, I know they normally do, but when I saw that you couldn't cancel I just I'd check ��

                I don’t know why they decided to do the no preorder cancel thing on them but I’m guessing it’s because of the ps classic fiasco they probably had a load that people preordered but then cancelled and then amazon was stuck with stock they are struggling to shift.

                  Slight aside but unfortunately Amazon Europe is a bit crappier now for preorders: https://www.vg247.com/2019/05/30/ama...on-pre-orders/

                  I don't really preorder much/anymore but will likely use them less as a result of this. If you like your limited/hard to get/hardware items then this is rubbish.

                    It seems a bit rubbish but they still will honour lowest price at least if it goes cheaper before release they just refund the difference but for people that need immediate access to the money taken for a preorder it could be a pain. Can blame all the dickheads that abuse the system to get preorder dlc codes then cancel. To then sell said codes on eBay.

                      To be fair, I'm all in favour of this happening. As long as it actually matches the RRP on the actual date of launch.

                          Thinking back to the likes of the PS4 I pre-ordered around 5/6 months in advance for the £430 Camera/Killzone pack. And I wouldn't have been that happy at the prospect of paying that upfront. So next year if you're up for the new Xbox and PS5 at launch that could be a £1K bill upfront. It's also a biff naff as it hits anything more than five days out.

                          In theory they will still honour their pre-order price guarantee so that just means you'll get a refund on the release day.

                          I imagine preorders are abused but did everything sold on Amazon have to be restricted in this way. Probably not.

                              On top of the unit cost? I got a better deal in that case. £57 all-in via Fed-Ex.
                              Kept you waiting, huh?
