This has nothing to do with the game itself but am just wondering how affordable the game would be in your area to see how many people might play in the future.
Setting aside the knowledge of Japanese, would the price of the game in your area be worth it? Here in Brazil the game itself costs around R$250, which is give or take US$137. If I could save up for both the DS and the game it would take around R$1000 which is going to be more than US$600...
Working life be very hard and having to pay the bills... -sigh-

Japanese 3DS ~180€ + import sales tax (customs) ~35€ NLP ~70€ + import sales tax (customs) ~15€ Shipping ~20€
If you are "lucky" like me and your seller has the fabulous idea of splitting your order ... add 10€ "handling charge" to both the game and the console for FedEx handling customs for you ...
All in all it cost me: ~340€ = ~450US$
Looking at it like this ... I'm insane, but - girlfriends are expensive, right?
And I don't even want to think about the costs involved when Konami finally decides to replace this buggy mess.

i'm from Greece Europe and to import the complete set of NEW RINKO DELUXE(3ds limited device,game,complete set of Mino*Taro books,pins,soundtrack,poster,AR marker+see-thru folder,many more stuff i can't remember now, etc):
33,850YEN (COMPLETE SET) +12,224 Yen (EMS) = ('fromJapan' agency:no fees or custom taxes, they can change the price on box) 40,6074YEN (=371€ or 494$)
that is why i kept insisting you guys should try to win those, for some countries it was a better deal to buy the variety-complete sets directly from Konami than only device and game separately from other shops..

Oh it looks that way... but since 1 US$ is worth about 1.5% or more in exchange, things aren't as cheap here... Not to mention that if you get unlucky and that is most of the time, you have to end up paying a 60% out of country duty tax or something... I swear, Brazil is screwed up!! No wonder we can't have nice things!!!

I thought of ordering one of those limited boxes, looks like you get a lot more in there for the same money. But at that time I did not know of any shipping service that would partake in that lottery for me. Besides ... I never win anything Would have been a steep customs fee for me anyway. German customs does not trust the invoice that is on the outside of the package and tends to open them. Either in there is the "real" invoice and they calculate taxes from this or they decide that the worth of the contents of the package differs greatly from the invoice and then you have to show up at customs in person and bring the correct invoice with you. So far only one single package from abroad made it to me without customs not opening it. And I had to drive the ~50km to the customs office quite often, because the dealers thought it was a good idea to fake the invoice ... Did I mention I hate German customs?

And I had to drive the ~50km to the customs office quite often, because the dealers thought it was a good idea to fake the invoice ... Did I mention I hate German customs? i agree 100% xD German Customs are so picky.And they charge you for everything,even the shipping costs i think i am the only one who bought this Game (the Deluxe Pack) for the highest price. At last i am happy to have it,but i am really pissed about the Shop But he was so nice and send a "Happy Birthday" written on a DIN A4 Paper ,to show Customs that is a BDay Gift.The worst thing was,he wrote 8€ for the whole Deluxe pack on the Box(for customs). They Guy at the Custom Office laughed when he saw that "cute" Price. Also he tried to google for the Deluxe Package,but i had luck and he didn´t found it. So we told him its really a BDay Gift for me. So i had to pay 26€(they charged only the 3DS). He told us that he don´t believe it but he let us go with the whole Stuff(without charging the other Stuff from the Deluxe Edition) And now the horrible Prices that i paid: NLP Deluxe Edition -715€ Shipping - 63€ Customs - 26€ i was really pissed,because i preordered the Deluxe Edition last Year at the Shop,and had to pay forwardly.(it was before the Delay of NLP). The 715€ was "incl. EMS" After the Release of NLP on February,the Shop send me another Invoice to pay for the EMS Shipping again,because they told me that they didnt expect that the whole Edition is so heavy. (weight was about 6kg) So i paid 6400 Yen Later i checked the Shipping Box.Costs 11000 Yen. Ok so he didnt cheat or something,but in my opinion they had to pay the Shipping.Because its not my fault that they couldnt imagine that the deluxe edition have such a heavy weight. And the mostly thing whats making me mad.LAst year they told me,all their Preorders for the different Deluxe Editions of NLP were SOLD OUT. And now they have them all In Stock For cheaper Price. I will never buy there again.

neneichiban this is not an internet shop, this is a deputy that will handle any type of Y!JA auction,lottery or other type of shop order you might want to submit somewhere that they do not ship worldwide..sometimes it's even cheaper than buying from a small number of internet shops since they tend to double the price of an item just cause it's rare to find...
mynx, you have your lovely deluxe package you should feel blessed XDXD

i'm from brazil and every game-related thing is sooo expensive there! But i'm living at USA now, so I was able to buy it yay... I paid US$229 on the japanese 3DS...plus $20 for shipping i think... I bought the new love plus separately because yesasia and play-asia were back-ordered! And i didn't want to wait a month to get the game. I bought it from an ebay seller for $109. Quite expensive i think, but the shipping was for free... So total would be US$308

Wow!! Some of you paid a lot!! I don't even know if you need the info anymore but I found someone in Japan selling the game for $65 and I got their copy on ebay! (That was the only one) Pretty amazing seeing as everywhere else has it for $100 plus! x.x Gotta say I'm happy for only spending $65 ^^ major discount! Mind you - I got just the game... I wish I could get LE stuff... oh! And I paid $8 express shipping!
