Some of you might have seen some of my shit posts before, but just in case you have not, I'll shoot you a little info.
I am one of those not so rare anymore but then made rare again by a recession: White man in Japan.
As such when I moved here I did not get a chance(lack of money) to buy my self a xbox360 or a Playstaion 3.
Well today was the day, I found my self looking throw the huge list of Japanese Wii games, which I got to say is huge out here and there are some great J only games, and then I saw it.
Today was the Yamata Danki "like a Japanese Bestbuy store" super Wii sports resort sale.
Now you might be asking, wait I thought you bought a PS3. This is where it gets interesting.
As it was a super sale of sorts for the Wii, people where buying them like crazy with out seeing that it was a store wide sale sponsored by what I can only guess was the Wii sports resort sale to try to sell more Wii s.
And as I thought it could be to good to be true, the Playstaion 3 80gb where on sale from there normal 39800yen price which is about $400.00 USD to the price of 34800 yen, which is about $350.00, and came with HDMI cables as well as 2500 yen or $25 bucks off of any game.
So today I walked a way with PS3 Katamari Damashii and HDMI cables for a total of 36200 yen or $365.00 US green backs.
O today was a good day for my ever growing need for video games.
Now I got my Famicon, Super Famicom, Wii (Both US and Japanese) And now my shiny new PS3.Now that I am all set for that week of off work for Obon next month I can freely waist away my work time knowing I got my summer gaming all lined up for me this year.
So what did we learn today. We learned it does not matter if the Wii is the number one console on the market, as long as it keeps giving me sweet deals on other system software and systems. (/^-^)/

Real men buy region specific Wii's.
p.s. what the fucks up with people thinking it's 'normal' to mod a console?
Awesome bargain.
