Anyone know a site that will ship English game software to Japan?
Yes I intend to *buy* software.

.I live in England but have a Japanese girlfriend who will be returning on
22nd Dec. I also have a couple of friends who will come to Japan on Sunday.
Maybe too soon. Failing that I can buy it and post it to you and you could
paypal me the cost.

Thanks to those that offered to help me. Just as a courtesy I thought I'd let
you know I ordered from outpost.com (thanks Ryan) after 6pm on Friday afternoon,
and the box was handed to me at 3pm the following Monday. That was using
Airborne Express International ($US25), DHL was going to cost $50.

Outpost has always been pretty quick with my Gamecube orders too. If only
all the publishers would allow them to ship overseas. What I can't get
there can usually be picked up at eBay - but then you still have to wade
through all the 'Sepponia only' auctions 'coz the advanced search engine
doesn't always filter those out. Do you think eBay would get in trouble if
it had a "This seller ships to the United States only (and Japan because we
can trust you)" option?

How does that work? Outpost has permission to ship overseas? Some soft can't be
shipped OS?
This international copyright shit really shits me. DVD region codes for
instance. You simply can't get most of the stuff I want to watch in Japan. Of
course I have a region free DVD player but it is lucky that we can get region
free players at all. Professional software such as language compilers are
practically unavailable in English and many of them have checks to stop them
being used OS, for instance they won't run on a Japanese system even though
there is no technical reason for it.

The most this has pissed me off was with the game Baldur's Gate. They got
the thing localized to Japanese, and the Japanese seller made some deal with
them that they would not allow the English version to operate on Japanese
OSs. So they could gouge the f@ck out of their Japanese victims of course.
None of this was listed on the product box, or Website. I installed the
thing ok on my system, but when I tried to run it, it just crashed. No
message box, nothing. Tech/customer support was 0 help. Finally, after
poking around on a fansite, I saw the restriction. I thought about demanding
an exchange for the Japanese-language version, but I heard that the
translation was pretty shit, so I just said screw it.
If I was the unscrupulous sort, I would pirate every version of BlackIsle
software I could get my p2p on, just out of spite. Luckily I'm too scrupled
for that!

When I first came to Japan I knew I would have lots of free time so I brought
some professional software with me to develop some new skills only to find it
wouldn't work on my Japanese computer. I eventually got a pirated copy of an
English OS sent over.
