Default slightly OT: Hotversion / bestmotoring from www.amazon.co.jp

I've just been looking at the amazon.co.jp website and it would appear than you can order any of their stock and have it shipped all over the world (just as you can with amazon.com) I've gone as far as entering my Name and Address in the UK and up to the payment point and it appears to be possible to use a Mastercard/Visa card for payment (I stopped then). Has anyone every tried getting hold of these videos/books/dvds etc this way ?

Cool - I just got a copy of BM 2 from amazon.com (I'm in the UK) I'll be placing my order for 3 soon. I was wondering when the DVD (vol 5) will be available on amazon.com

Why are you waiting for Vol 5 in Amazon.com. Why not just ordered it from amazon.co.jp??

I'm also interested in Vol.5.

I got this after translation:
Together buying you want
' Ti & Bick ƒCƒ“ƒeƒOƒ‰ cType R legendary HONDA BOYS R... ' with ' locus of HONDA NSX - Japanese * pure sport 10 year... ', both is completed the male!

"As for the person who buys this DVD buying also such a DVD, you are "

LOL!!!

i finally got my copy of

last week.

Shows alot of old ITR vs CTR races, BUT w/ a twist. You can select various angles and can even goto one incar to the other incar while they are racing

Just make sure you can play the japanese DVDs. The region codes is suck

yshi - who still has to watch NSX DVD, Evo Vii vs WRX DVD, and Sept BM vdo

I think my PS2 will do it as I'm in the UK Region 2 - not sure if it'll play the NTSC DVD's though. But by the time it arrives I should have a new region free player anyway

I have orderd stuff from Amazon Germany. Fortunately I can read German, so it made it easier. I bought some CD's, use my regular ole Mastercard, and they arrived at my door like 3 weeks later. Even had some Gummi Bears in the package!

It worked perfectly. When i got my Mastercard bill, there was a charge from amazon.com.de, and a conversion exhange rate, Euros to Dollars.

I wasn't positive I'd actually get the stuff, but it did show up! I see no reason why it wouldn't work for Japan!

I was surprised when I ordered my first set of BM vid's from Amazon.com that my amazon.co.uk account worked ! I've ordered two sets one was sent to a colleage in Redmond WA where it just so happend that another colleage was on his way back to the UK . The another I had sent straigh to the UK it only too 6 days to arrive !

Just got the book in the post today. It's big and full of pictures etc. I'll have a good look later but first impressions are that it's worth the 20 pounds - it's easily bigger than 4 magazines
