There is a discount. Online you pay shipping costs. F you go to a store you pay in gas and time...and tax?

Ehh. A lot of online retailers offer free shipping, and I'm pretty sure eShop purchases are taxed. They are in the states, anyway. Still, you make a fair point about going to the store I guess.

Nice for Animal Crossing and I hope it continues to do well, if Fantasy Life does not get localized then I will buy thid game. I also red this story in Gonintendo and Iwata also mentions that the majority of those digital download buyers are female.

I was thinking of amazon where shipping costs are rediculous!

I think I will add this to that thread" Will any Nintendo game outsells GT this year.

Amazon? Shipping costs? Did I miss something? In Germany any delivery from amazon.de is free.

@topic: If this game manages to do as well in the west 11Mil+ sales are not impossible^^

Videogames over $25 don't have shipping costs on Amazon.com.

Unless he's talking about importing the game from Japan...
