Where can I get a Japanese 3DS?

[Fame]

Hey I know I'm kinda late for getting a JP3DS and I won't be able to play on release but does anybody know where to get one for a reasonable price? lol.. Preferably in ?s since I live in the UK.
Thank you

They're only exclusive to JPN. I suppose you could try and purchase one from eBay though.

I agree. Ebay is where I got mine. Most websites will try to sell you the 3DS LLs which are expensive. I got a regular Japanse 3DS for $200 (mint condition)

Oh okay thanks,
Also I was wondering, I wanna get it digitally, how hard would that be to do?

Once you obtained your Japanese 3DS and configured your system, head to eShop and find the game. Even if your credit card didn't came from Japan, you can still purchase there. Be sure to convert the yens to pounds before deciding on purchasing the game.

It's incredibly easy to figure out how to do so.

4800 yen should come out to about $60

Since he/she asked for pounds, that's around ?37,26 before taxes.

Cool, so it would be the same steps required to buy something on the normal eshop then? by normal I mean english version lol

You can get them from these sites:

Yesasia: 3ds:http://www.yesasia.com/us/search/3ds-console/0-0-0-bpt.48_q.3ds+console-en/list.html
3ds XL:http://www.yesasia.com/us/search/3ds-console-ll/0-0-0-bpt.48_q.3ds+console+ll-en/list.html
The "Asian version" they have listed appears to be the Chinese 3DS console, not Japanese.

Playasia: http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-14-71-188-49-en.html

Nippon-Yasan (best prices): http://www.nippon-yasan.com/lang-en/97-nintendo-3ds-console-import-japan

Importing is not cheap. Limited consoles can go for up to double the price or more of regularly available colours. Some of those sites have the AC:NL bundle with the game already installed on the 3ds.
