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. |
