once again our story starts with the words:

"Why Tam shouldn't be allowed to go near Amazon.com when she's stressed..."

did you know they've got a Japanese section?  did you know it's got stuff that regular Amazon.com doesn't offer...?

yeah.  about that...

There's something called downloading off the Internet... *grins* And yes, the Japanese Amazon has a lot of goods the English Amazon doesn't.

Oh. My. GOOOOD!!!

Is that the Ultimania guide from the FF7 10th anniversary I´m seeing there? Aren´t my eyes playing tricks on me? Is it in English or just Japanese? Never mind, you got to tell the rest of us mortals, how it is. If you find something about our most loved pair, remember: It´s good to share!
Enjoy it! :)

Oh yeah, Internet downloads are a gift from heaven for those of us who live in little towns where you can´t even find the GAME, mind you, but it´s just not the same to having it in your hands...LOL

True, true. I have stuff download, but it's different from a book/thing you can hold.

Hm, I've heard you can download the game, but I haven't tried it yet for fear of ruining the delicate nature of my laptop--I'm waiting for a upgrade before I attempt anything large scale like that. :D

I've had an account on Amazon Japan for *years*. I ordered both CLOUD books last year. =D

heh - I like to get things in my grubby little paws. And I was lucky when it came to the game. One of my friend had not one but TWO playstation 1s and lent me one of his. little does he know he's not getting it back. then I bought the original game off of Amazon. I'm with you on the downloading the game - I love my little laptop but I try not to ask it to do too many fancy things - lol. It makes enough odd noises already.

hee! Yep, it's the Ultimania 10th. I saw something about it a couple days ago and went snooping around for it. With my luck it's probably all in Japanese which I don't read a lick of but as long as it's got pictures I'm okay with that. ;) I'll let you know what it's like when it comes in and see if I can't get some scans :)

I think I remember doing something like that years ago but I'd long forgotten about it until I went looking for the Ultimania and couldn't find it on regular Amazon. My little mind started ticking and I thought... 'don't I remember...?' I think my mailman is used to getting packages to deliver to me with writing he can't understand. The crazy thing is it's cheaper to get stuff shipped from Japan or Hong Kong to the US than from Canada. And EVERYTHING'S cheaper than shipping from Australia.

ebay is my bane ;)
