Topic: Best place to buy a japanese 3DS for a american?

Hey guys, I am looking to get a 3DS (preferably a XL) that is japanese for MH4 coming out next month. I have been looking around, and it seems special editions go for 330+, and regular XL's go for around 280 with free shiping. I did find a website that has then listed at the yen price that nintendo lists (19,800 for the XL, 15,000 for the regular). Is this site trust able?

just check amazon.com. they'll have it. P.S. love mudkip

I know there are place that have it, but I want to buy it for a good price. Amazon has the regular for 180 with shipping and the XL (LL) is 285 with shipping.

play-asia.com is also good

You know that the 3DS is region-locked, so if you choose a japanese console you'll be only able to play japanese games on it, right?

Probably you already know it, but it's always better to be sure and remember it.

I think if he did not know about it, he would just buy the MH4 game
