I have a PSPgo and will be D/L'ing PS:P2 on the JPN PS Store on December 3rd and am just curious how much this is gonna set me back. I don't know the conversion rate from the yen to the dollar.

Pretty sure if you want to use your credit card on the Japanese store you can't because it needs to be linked to the address you used to make your account, I haven't tried it myself but according to the internet the payment will fail. The only way to buy from the Japanese store is to buy a prepaid PSN card

It will cost you $70-80 because of the fees associated with getting a Japanese Playstation Network prepaid card. That is unless you happen to find one cheaper than the usual price or you have a credit/debit card attached to a Japanese address.

Why not just wait a few months...? This game isn't THAT remarkable to go out of your way and kill yourself just to expirience it a few months in advance. :/

I beg to differ, for a Phantasy Star fan this is pretty much the most remarkable game to come from the series in a long while.
I don't understand why some people are so import-phobic...

I 2nd & 3rd Wind's post. This game so far has taken nearly every innovative quality from both PSO and PSU, improved upon it and created a phenomenal game. Not to mention this game is freakin Portable...holy jeez, I can take this game anywhere and get sucked into rare hunting/leveling/customizing.

So yes, it IS that remarkable.

forgot to mention...not everyone wants to wait 11 months*cough PS0* for a game they can play 2 1/2 weeks from now.

I'm super excited about this game for certain. What i'm not excited about is the PSP go, I like my UMD's TYVM (something about physically having the game, a weird quirk of mine) so I will be importing mine at a nice 50sh bux~

but that is with PSP 2000 or PSP 3000 only, PSPgo can't

PSPgo? you're screwed...you'll have to go with the Digital copy via PSN since PSPgo doesn't have a UMD drive ;]

Just get the digital version with a pre paid PSN card. :)
You get the fastest loading time, no UMD to carry around, no UMD whirring noises either and you'll have it the very day it releases, heck you'll have it within the first hour!

Just tried this seller and he was painless, cheap, and fast. To be honest I tried searching around for a cheaper vendor but this was the cheapest. Best yen to usd ratio for your money and not feeling raped with fee's or price gouging.
