Support NeoGAF

[Jonnyram]

Not for the faint-hearted:

Basic service = 315 yen for 30 days / 840 yen for 90 days
To take part in competitions = +315 / 840
(Konami staff may also take part)
To be able to use Japanese National team = +315 / 840
To use Italian team = +630 / 1680
To use Spanish team = +630 / 1680
To use Dutch team = +315 / 840
Or for a three league set = +1260 / 3360

Bargain!

Wow

Online gaming is truly a fad (until free online gaming is on Revolution)

Wow, not only are they killing the Japanese with these absurb charges, but they're not bringing Live over to NA at all. What a bunch of dicks. Konami, yes, I'm talking to you. You're all dicks.

 

[Miburou]

You mean to use Italian/Spanish/Dutch league teams? You don't have to pay extra if you're using a national team (except for the Japanese one)?

 

[john tv]

That's beyond retarded. The sad thing is, Japanese consumers will take it right up the ass, just like they always do.

EDIT: Jonny -- is this PS2 or Xbox?

 

[DCharlie]

i have one thing to say to this

FUCK YOU KONAMI.

Xbox owners in Japan must laugh their cocks of at the stupid PS2 owners... i mean, it's 500 yen a month JUST TO PLAY FUCKING GOLF!!!!!

Yes club teams, doesn't say about their national teams, presumably not because it would start to get a bit too political.

Yeah, but the Xbox owners would get beat up by the hoardes of PS2 online players :lol

I didnt even think they were bothering with WE on Xbox in Japan? Although it would be interesting to see the PS2 version with a fee and the Xbox version free on XBL.

 

[Guns N' Poops]

Konami, PS2 and Online doesn't compute. Heh, at least PES5 is going to be free on PS2.

"Yeah, but the Xbox owners would get beat up by the hoardes of PS2 online players "

yes, but the Xbox owners would just charge them all 1000 yen in order to enter the fight, at least that way they could cover their medical costs.

Beating up Xbox owners service fees :

+1000 basic brawling fee per month
+400 use left fist
+400 use right fist
+500 use left leg
+500 use right leg
+750 use headbutt
+1200 grapple ability

+0 for PAL users to play online currently

I don't think there's an Xbox version in the works.

The PS2 online charges are still the most depressing difference between Sony Jpn and Sony US.

In the US PS2 online is a nice treat since it costs absolutely nothing for non-MMORPGS. Yet in Japan even the smallest game costs money per month

This is why I'll never get a BBA for my Japanese PS2 >_<

This is why I'm selling my JP PS2 + HDD/BBA. Such a ripoff.

BTW anyone wanna buy a Japanese PS2 with HDD and BBA? The HDD rules! Err...

 

[Any1]

Does anyone know the exchange rate? Or whatever it is... Like what does a dollar equal in yen?

If I lived in Japan, I would take it up the ass AND LIKE IT.

Really, that is so fucked. You have to pay additional money if you choose one of the licensed teams?? Huh?

Konami stopped publishing Japanese Xbox content in 2002. So did EA actually.
