He should keep an eye out for Railfan on the PS3. The Chicago blue cover one. It goes for at least ?65 used on eBay. I'm wondering how much it costs in Japan these days?
Is it worth picking up 2 copies I I'm feeling mercenary?

Checking the net from your hotel?
Anyway, it's a PS3 train driving game, and it's FMV based as opposed to polygons like the PS2 Densha de Go games. I bought the sequel, Taiwan Railfan and didn't like it much. Most people agree the first one, with the blue cover and locations in Chicago, is the better game. It also has an aerial view filmed from a helicopter, which sounds cool. Hence why I'm interested in it. I love anything weird.
I guess it depends on how much you want to play something as odd as a train-driving sim, especially one which is officially regarded as not being the best of the genre (Densha de Go Final is said to be the best train game around). You might hate it! There's a first play thread on here though with a lot of praise given for it.
As for being mercenary, I reckon you should be able get £40 BiN on eBay, since all other copies range from £65-95. A lot of second-hand games in Japan go for stupid prices, especially if they're classified as "junk soft". Look for games missing manuals or with broken cases, and you'll get them super cheap. I found several expensive saturn classics for around 200 yen each, just because they had some sun fade.
My main reason for wanting to know is:
Are foreign eBay sellers just gouging the prices higher? Because £65 for a used copy is crazy. Or is it cheap in Japan, but foreign demand is driving prices up? If you can find it for £20 used in a lot of places, I might ask a pen-pal over there to hunt a copy down. I don't really feel like paying more than that.
Btw, have you tried unagi while there? Mind-blowingly good.Last edited by Sketcz; 15-05-2010, 09:11.

Arise thread and be helpful once more.
Off to Tokyo a week on Tuesday and I'm a little out of touch with the import scene at the moment.
Any amazing PS3 games I may have missed? I'm planning to pick up Winning Eleven just for the commentary and I may pick up a couple of the region free Xbox 360 shooters. Are the "platinum" versions of Espgaluda II & Deathsmiles II region locked?
What's cool? What's funky? What's weird? I need games!!
No UMD based PSP anymore and no DS at all (although that may change this week).
