#42Buyee is great! Bought a lot of stuff through them. Electronics, clothes, blurays, even food lol (shio kombu is still not very common outside of Japan). Never had a problem! The only downside if you buy electronics with batteries: Buyee strictly enforces a maximum 2 batteries per package rule. So for example a Nintendo Switch would be shipped in 2 package because it has 3 batteries, 1 in the tablet, and 1 in each joy…

#44The niche older fashion brands I used to enjoy here are no longer as accessible, in part due to these forwarding services; items are priced higher for foreign buyers who still underpay compared to their domestic supply, and items are becoming harder and harder to find at all as they no longer circulate the domestic market, they just get permanently removed from it. This is despite little change in the market price of such items in other markets/currencies.
Japan is a bargain for the dollar-holder and the market is choosing to price out local interest.

Or it’s an AI addition and I’m way overthinking this. Damn I hate this lol.

#46I still have my jailbroken PSP, back from my school days. Great fun for playing emulated PS1 games. I imagine joysticks and buttons on modern handhelds are considerably better though.

#48I don't know if the author just writes like this, or if the text was put through ChatGPT, but it sets off my slop alarm: " Running a PSP the way Sony intended, but with a modern jailbreak in place, feels like the best of both worlds. You keep the original hardware, the original screen, the original ergonomics, but you reduce the friction. No UMD juggling. No region limitations. No locked-down firmware. Just drag, dro…

#50I would have gotten a Vita. It runs PSP games (especially when jailbroken), is faster, has a better screen, and also runs Vita games.
