To be fair, it's been several years since I last used Amazon. And back in those days, they were expensive, and you had to walk for eight miles through waist-high snow before you could order from them. And it was all uphill, too.
But yeah, thanks a lot for making me so tempted to get a 3DS. That's what my unemployed, poor self needs right now. :p
Yeah, it can probably depend on a lot of different things. I like how VG+ lies about the value of the things you buy from them, but for larger orders they use a different shipping company that's become wise to their wily ways and they called me up early one morning demanding that I'd forward them the receipt. And I thought I was saving so much money!
It really sucks when it's something you have to import from outside Europe, though. It pays not to be into obscure Japanese things.
