yea, when it comes to cd based gAmes, if you simply want go play the game, go for the japanese versions. right now, cotton goes for super cheap in Japan. I bought mine for 15$ cib last week for example. i have a huge collection already because i don't have to pay soo much for my games. Of course, its easier for me to access to those games since i live in Japan, but i was thinkig about helping people on this forum by offering an export service. maybe people would be interested in that kind of help on this forum.
