How do foreign games work on Vita? Thinking about getting Digimon World: Next Order.

No region locking so you just pop it in and start it up!

I don't think that's fair to amiami on the cancelation complaint. You preorder something and don't buy it afterwards? That's extra stock they have to sit on and deal with. Theres a reason why amiami doesn't restock and its very limited.

I buy from them monthly. While I've never had a problem with cancellations because when I have had to do them it's been at least a month in advance, they could definitely save their more threatening emails for people who cancel later.
I understand their business practices and I love the store, but for the average person who is just getting into importing Japanese games Amazon is going to be much more familiar and friendly for them, especially if they go whole-hog upon hearing this news and want to order a bunch of stuff then later have regrets on some of it.

 

[SargerusBR]

Play-asia is in trouble now.

 

[ackl]

bye bye my wallet.....

 

[Rpgmonkey]

Nice.

Amiami has a better deal on Star Ocean 5 so I won't be using this right now, but it's nice to have another option for import stuff.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!

 

[Afro Samurai]

How's the shipping cost compared to import sites?

 

[Gaogaogao]

website is still harder to navigate than play asia

its only half english

 

[mightynine]

EDIT: nevermind, I'm wrong

 

[piggychan]

going to have to keep an eye out for some of those current gen japan only games !

 

[Drilbit777]

Would it work with american credit cards or do you need something else?

 

[Anne]

Also one of those people wondering if this works for digital codes as well.

 

[DryvBy]

Crap. Yakuza stuff is now mine.

 

[Nibel]

Play-asia is in trouble now.

Nah they will do fine, they've built a huge userbase because of the west's attack against KOEI Tecmo and Dead Or Alive Xtreme 3; the people they've pulled in will support the website

Spoiler

 

[Seven Force]

Uh, holy shit. Game changer.

 

[LiK]

Would it work with american credit cards or do you need something else?

works fine. i use American CCs with no issues.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

I ready for this.

 

[J-Skee]

Ummm.... dammit, I promised myself I was gonna wait until the national release of Dark Souls III. This is too tempting.

 

[Dandy Crocodile]

I don't know about Prime not applying guys, I've picked up some CDs from Amazon Japan and they shipped within two days.

I did have to make a separate .jp account, but I'm not sure if using my Amazon Visa didn't do a little account linking.

It came so quickly because it's express. I've gotten all my direct Amazon.jp parcels in 2 days.

How's the shipping cost compared to import sites?

It's express only, so not too different from a cheaper option like SAL + a proxy fee.

Would it work with american credit cards or do you need something else?

American cards work.

 

[Kama_1082]

Crap. Yakuza stuff is now mine.

probably cheaper to buy off of US Amazon

 

[dragonflys545]

Wow... that's huge! Time to pick up Yakuza Kiwami.

 

[jooey]

doesn't work with a Framemeister. real glory is still a ways away.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Game changer.

 

[Drilbit777]

works fine. i use American CCs with no issues.

Oh cool, I'll probably give this a try with Star Ocean 5 later this month.

 

[Eolz]

This is awesome yeah, seen that on twitter a bit earlier.
Especially since Amazon JP is paying custom clearances from the start and is more reliable than some services in the west (I'm looking at you parcelforce...).

 

[linkandzelda]

Great news.

 

[Akibared]

no, just log in with your regular Amazon account.

I had to make a new one probably because I'm prime.

 

[vilmer_]

A new, white model Japanese PS4?

Sure why not.

I'll throw in a new 3DS as well for giggles.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

 

[inorganicrosiel]

Wow, this is really nice. I stopped shopping on amazon.jp, because I was sick of Tenso, but maybe now I can pick up the Trails Vita games.

 

[tiijj]

Hmm, did you set the language of the website to English to see what the exact error is? Are you using a Amazon.co.jp account?

Maybe Twitter jumped the gun regarding preorders

I tried other pre-orders as well, etrian 5, star fox, shovel knight, DQ heroes 2, etc... I also tried the regular pre-order and the one with amazon jp special pre order thing.

Zelda TP works even though its release date is Mar 10, well they should be charging them by now. So it might or might not be a pre-order.

It says that it can't be delivered to the address that I'm using due to some certain limit.

"ご指定の住所、店舗にお届けできない商品、またはご指定の配送方法でお届けできない商品が含まれています。配送制限について、詳細はこちらからご確認いただき、お届け先、配送方法を変更してください。"

I tried it on my house address and the flex deliver (PO Box) that I use to get my manga and other books from amazon jp.


edit:

The 3ds hyrule warriors pre-order from game city works, amiibo works too but not the pre-order ones.

 

[gar3]

Stranger of Sword City XB1 pre-order wouldn't work with my new Amazon of Japan account or my wife's older original account :-/

 

[NeonBlack]

Play-Asia is probably shitting themselves.

 

[aeolustl]

Do amiibos work?
I need to know this!

 

[Gaogaogao]

" Would you like to see this page in English? Click here."

not working


nvm it works at the cart but not while shopping

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Play-Asia is probably shitting themselves.

Hopefully their twitter employee is the first to go!

 

[LiK]

I had to make a new one probably because I'm prime.

oh, interesting. my account has Prime but my sister is the primary holder. that might be why.

" Would you like to see this page in English? Click here."

not working

all the menus etc should be English. but product pages will still be Japanese

 

[JayEH]

Awesome. Import sites sweating now.

 

[I am Error]

So.. any recommendations? There must be some good games with english subtitles/text, right?

 

[Darksol]

I need the other way round.

Still great news for a lot of Gaffers!

 

[Kama_1082]

Stranger of Sword City XB1 pre-order wouldn't work with my new Amazon of Japan account or my wife's older original account :-/

Neither did dark souls 3 XB1, but the PS4 version did

 

[Danchi]

Shopping with a UK address, it looks like it's limited to stuff that's actually sold by Amazon themselves rather than all of the"fulfilled by Amazon" sellers. This seems to be restricting me to all but the very latest releases (e.g. I could buy the Rockman Legacy Collection, but not the second SEGA Archives collection).

 

[Baleoce]

no, just log in with your regular Amazon account.

doesn't seem to be working for me. says it's incorrect.

 

[tiijj]

Do amiibos work?
I need to know this!

The pre-order doesn't seem to work but the ones that has been released seems to work.

doesn't seem to be working for me. says it's incorrect.

The amazon jp account is separate from the other amazon account such as the us and ca ones.

 

[Chanser]

Does that mean I can buy the crystal dualshock 4?

 

[Shadow Ranger]

A new challenger has entered the ring! This is like Shin Akuma just busting shit out and ruining your (other import site's) day!

This could be damn good for consumers. Now what do I need to buy that I don't actually need!

 

[ONLYUSEmeFEET]

Just tried to preorder Phantasy Star Online 2 PS4 and Amazon couldn't ship to my US address. It was even being sold by Amazon. A friend also tried to preorder a 3DS game. I guess not only does Amazon have to sell it but certain preorders are flagged.
