Playstation 3 in Tokyo

I haven't taught in Japan, but I have done a lot of teaching despite only being 20 Its scary but fun. As long as you actually want to teach the subject, you'll be fine

A lot of teachers I've met are doing it because they have to/it was the easiest career choice. Those are the ones that ruin school for the kids.

 

I never hated teachers, I always hated homework

 

Hmm, look away from the thread for 5 minutes and it changes to a Jet teacher thread. :s

Well I am in Japan, but was too knackered to go out and find one. Which shop / chain would be the best place to look? 60 Gig for 49,000 sounds good.

 

Yeah, totally hijacked your thread, sorry! I presume Akihabara would be a good place to start.

 

So far no luck. Akihabara mainly either has shops that have sold out of the machine or have the machine at full price, best price has been around 52800Yen for a 60Gig but that was second hand. :/

Anyone know of any in Tokyo which would be less then 55000 New?

 

YOu should easily be able to find them./ Don't go to Akihabara ! Look anywhere but there. You can get a PS3 in EVERY game shop or place that sells games down here. Wii on the other hand is a different story.

He's looking for it for 50,000 yen though. Kakaku.com has the cheapest in Tokyo listed at 57,000 yen. I'm sure they're out there, but you'll have to look a bit.

 

I will take a trip to other parts of Tokyo and see what I can find. Some shops have the PS3 second hand at more then what it sells for new. >_<;;;

The Wii I have only found second hand and priced at prices above what they are normally. Y28000 or so.. :s not that I want a Wii the plastic waste of space it is.

 

Ah, right. Well that is going to be tough then.

Have you actually used a Wii? It's a wonderful entertainment system. I'm no Nintendo Fan Boy yet I find it easily good enough. Graphics may not be PS3 quality but anyone with half a brain knows flashy graphics mean shit if the games are dull. Excite Trucks on the Wii is fantastic with the Wii remote. I've never been in to a home racer so much in a very long time. PS3 RR looks nice but it's just RR like it always has been. Nothing new. That's where Wii comes in. NEW IDEAS FOR A NEW WAY OF ENJOYNG GAMES ! Saying that, I play Dragon Ball Z with the classic controller because I find the Wii remote controls a load of crap :110:

I went to Akiba today. It was a bit of a dud of a trip... I needed a small keyboard & mouse for my emulation computer though, so it was worth it. Someone told me of a shop that had the 60GB model for 50,000 yen. Didn't find it. There are new ones on YJ going for between 51,000 & 53,000 though. That seems to be the best price in town.

 

Went to softmap in the end, found a number of second hand ones there, the guy behind the counter liked my Rockstar (games) t-shirt, and I was confused on why he took the one I had picked up back and picked up another one, but I didn't question it. When I got back I noticed that apart from the Pad (which I assumed they pulled out to test) everything was still cable tied and new, even the manuals were still in their bag sealed away, the PS3 looks new too.

I assume that this was one of the ones that someone bought to try and make $$$s on ebay, realised that they weren't going to and sold it back as it was going to make more money then trying to sell it at full whack with ebay fees.

Cost me Y52800 which isn't too bad. Been playing Motorstorm and Downloaded GT HD and love every minute of it.

 

The JPN version is such a good price, at under £250, especially with the Region A (JPN & USA) Blu Ray.

I already have a USA PS3 connected to the TV downstairs but at this price it might be worth getting one a JPN PS3 for the bedroom just for the Blu Ray functions!
