Japanese gaming mags subscription question o_O

I think Play-Asia carries them.

I wish they had subscriptions for America as I enjoy reading Famitsu very much. The Kinokuniya Bookstore in SF's Japan Town gets them every week but I live too far for it to be worth it.

If Kinokuniya is anything like Asahiya, they'll let you pay subscription blocks and simply mail new issues directly to your house. At a premium, of course.

The Asahiya by me does this, but I'm not prepared to spend $10 per issue of Arcadia.
 
Good find borghe.

Living within Japan, Famitsu at the current rate would cost $150 or so per year but always 18,200 Yen for the Japanese.

So the shipping really doubles the price. Dive in if you're rich.
 
Be aware that you may be a week or two behind. I know my shop here in Columbus got their issues roughly a week late, which was why I stopped picking it up there. Not sure if that method would do that to you or not.
 
yeah.. when I was in tokyo, it amazed me that books, magazines, and food were so insanely cheap but things like DVDs, games, and audio CDs ($30-40 a CD!~?!??) are insane.
