If you're paying that much, it's a bad deal. Yahoo Japan's auction site has several listings for the console, some with extras, in the $30 to $50 range. That's where I plan to get mine..the sellers there don't take international bids, but you can still buy them from a deputy service (some of the more popular ones are Otaku-ya and Sato) for a fee. I'm not sure how much it would be after shipping, though, I've never bought anything as heavy as a console from Japan yet. It's usually $8 USD airmail for a book or video game, $12 for insured mail..
