Title: J-Bore: Metal Gear Solid 4 in Akihabara?
Post by: bork on June 07, 2008, 09:53:37 PM

I'm going to be in Tokyo this weekend for a job fair, and was thinking of going to Akihabara to look for the American (or Asian English-language) MGS4.  Do you guys think the importers there will have the game in stock by friday or saturday? 

Or is it better to just order from Play-Asia; I don't remember how much they mark the games up in Aki...

Mark-up is usually about 2000 yen above retail price.  They will definitely have them in by the weekend, the real question is will there be any left by then?

This is what worries me! 

But my buddy went to Aki when GTA IV came out and found a copy without a problem.

I don't know why, but this was the first thing I thought of.
