Modded usa and jap GC

[Shin Gouki]

OK ive just found out that USA and JAP cubes are the same machines so why is it that on the (New age consoles) website the USA modded cube is 30 quid cheaper than the JAP one

Probably a case of the japanese cubes actually being more expensive to get hold of....

actually, checking amazon.co.jp, and amazon.com, the japanese cube costs 19,800 Yen, which is just over ?100, while the american cube costs $149.99, which comes to just over ?90, plus the shipping from japan is probably more expensive than shipping from the states... you've gotta wonder why they bother bringing the black and purple ones over, though... the only reason i can see to get a JP cube over a US one is the colour options that are only available in japan...

can you tell i'm bored?

Perhaps its a case of quality? Are all GameCubes made in Japan?

[wod]

yeah its cheaper to get us cubes i guess, as the usa is not that far away compared to japan. they've got the same components inside so it doesn't make a difference on which one you get unless its a spice cube then it'll be more money.

edit dee, my usa cube says made in japan so they must be ?
