Anyone forum members in Japan that can help?

[Link83]

Hi everyone,
I have been looking everywhere for some specific video game accessories which no-where seems to stock anymore. I eventually found them still available on Amazon Japan, but of course they wont ship video game products outside of Japan

Is there any forum members who live in Japan that would be prepared to order some game accessories for me and ship them to the UK? I can pay via Paypal and would of course add some extra for the fees, postage, and your trouble. (please PM me if you prefer not to post in this thread)

Or does anyone know any reliable companies that would offer the same service for a reasonable price?

Any help much appreciated

Maybe post what items you're looking for?
I'm sure anyone here will try to find them for you in any local shop.

Hi,
Yeah Sure, I am hoping to get the Official Microsoft High Definition (component)cable, which I cant find available anywhere else:-
http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/...=AN1VRQENFRJN5
(If possible im trying to get the second revision which has no 'break-out' box on the cable)

I was also hoping to get the Official Nintendo Gamecube S-Video cable shown here (for my N64):-
http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/...=AN1VRQENFRJN5

Lastly I was going to ask if anyone knew where I could get a cheap (under ?50.00) Official Sega Dreamcast VGA lead, as it seems to be quite rare nowadays (but was hoping it would be quite common/easy to find in Japan)

I dont fancy trying to get any of them off ebay , as they always go for rediculous amounts of money, and I have been scammed in the past with cheapo third-party cables

Any help would be much appreciated.

I can't make any promises, but if I happen to spy either of those items whilst I'm over in Japan, I'll pick em' up for you if you want?

This fulfills at least your Xbox needs, there's also a link somwhere to a store that has the DC VGA, not sure about the N64.

Good luck.

Thanks - but that thread wasnt around when I first made this post Although I did come across it before posting as I did a search, it doesnt really help as i'm only really looking for the official cables. Thanks anyway though

Ermm, there's a link for a official JAP Xbox component cable.

Thanks, but I can only find a link to 'Console&Gadgets' that has the official one (all the other links appear to be third party cables, or dont state if they are official or not) The Console&Gadgets page says that its a "back order ships when stock arrives" and the status has unfortunately been that way for many months. I have emailed them and they said they doubt they will be getting anymore stock in

Or have I missed something?

I have an official Gamecube S video lead that I no longer use which I could sell if you want one.
Its not boxed but in excellent condition.
PM me if you want.
Cheers,
Rob.

You haven't Link, sorry to hear they don't restock...

You sure the S-video will be compatible with the N64?
Some cables have got subtle differences in wirings, they look the same, but most of the time are designed not to work on all consoles.

Hope you find what you're looking for.

You could try gamechoiceclub for the Hi-Def pack (in stock, might be the 1st version though - better anyway as you can use your own cables if you want.)

Official GC S-Video available aswell but you'd have to wait for a restock.
