Hey Cheapy,
Kurosenshi here. I live in the Meguro section of Tokyo, and like you am a New Yorker living in Japan (love the podcast, and yes I know Twilo). In any case, a co-worker of my girlfriend's who lives in Naka-Meguro managed to pick up a Wii just last week in a Family Mart near her place. I couldn't believe it. She said there were just two sitting on the shelf, and after a recent nabe party where a friend brought one over for us to try, she couldn't resist buying one when it was sitting in front of her. I'd have to say that beats 7-11's iPods and Oxygen!
