Tell me, the uninformed one, why PS2 costs like the equivalent of $260 here and in the States it costs $200 with Halo 2 included.

And I can't even find an XBOX for sale, at any price, in Gangneung.

Maybe bacause it's from Japan? Taxes/tarriffs/duties? I mean, that's the only reason I can think of.....I'm no economist.

Order it from the states...have your family send it to you as a gift and avoid any additional costs.

If you do that you'll have to get it modded if you want to be able to buy games for it in Korea.

As for the XBox, a lot of places in TechnoMart and Yongsan have them. I don't think I've seen them anywhere else. I think mine was 170 000. They don't have a lot of games out for it over here though.
