New Import Games At BB B&M - Jump Superstars ($50) DS and Naruto DS ($40)

[hiccupleftovers]

While I was at my BB today picking up Cooking Mama and some other DVDs, I noticed that they had Jump Superstars and one of the Japanese Naruto games. I practically had to do a double take since I've never seen import titles at a BB and they had the exact same stickers on them at Fry's puts on their import games indicating that they can be played on American systems, but either have english subs or in Japanese. Jump Superstars was priced $50 and Naruto was $40. A bit on the high end and not a true CAG deal, but after GGC it's like buying them from Play Asia with one of their coupons and really not that bad if you can't find an import store or can't buy from online.

I spoke to one of the employees and he was pretty shocked that they got them as well and thought that they had gotten Fry's shipment by accident. Was pretty funny seeing him on the aisle asking his manager about them.

I didn't really check the other sections at my BB, but hopefully they start bringing in more import titles.

Edit: Hopefully this hasn't been posted yet.

No go around Dayton, OH. It seems like these are hitting more and more stores as time progresses, so hopefully in due time.

If Jump Superstars ever gets a little cheaper at Best Buy then I'll probably buy a copy, but for now $50 is too much for me, even though its an import and thats the going rate of it...

Same for me. I can't imagine them selling too well over here, so perhaps a price drop isn't out of question?

Actually, that isn't the case. There aren't any Japanese games that aren't available in America that are playable on US systems, but Football Manager 2006, which is released only in Europe, is playable on US systems.
