    boy am i happy , the xbox 360 costs about $800 here in israel and am not talking about the premium package which by the way costs way more than 1k

    so what about the games?
    and i assume its pal , right?

    also i was hoping to get a link to a store that i am most likely to find anywhere (like gamestop in the us)

    i read somewhere that the 18,000 yen deal is only for those with some isp provider

    so if anyone has a link to a site for a store in japan then please post it

    Nah, the xbox 360 in Japan will only play Japanese games, unless you get a modchip or import the games.
