Ummm....I think you got your price wrong there in the OP.

When I checked out the Amazon JP website they had the list price at 49,980 yen (onsale at Amazon for 49,481 yen or 1% off, hehe). Anyway the JP price of course already includes the 5% JP tax on it. So the price is roughly $500 for the 160gb PS3 w/FF7:AC Blu-ray + FF13demo.

edit: Wenlan already posted the info above.

The 68,800 yen price is probably just from the retailers who jack up the price when something is unavailable anymore. Just like on the Amazon Marketplace.

 

The actual price is 50,000 yen, and amazon is selling it for 68,000 yen at the moment, due to the fact it sold out , so they are trying to build stock by raising the price im guessing.

That's not the price from Amazon directly, it's from one of the smaller stores who sell through Amazon. It's the Amazon JP equivalent of the Amazon Marketplace.

Amazon JP has already sold out of their stock of the 160gb PS3 w/FF7 blu-ray bundle and now it's only the smaller sellers who have stock there and they are raising the prices really high.
