I have a friend in holidays in Tokyo that asked me if I wanted to buy something from Japan as she could bring it to me. Do you have any suggestions? A DS Lite was my first idea, but that seems to be cheaper in the US anyway so I'll help for someone to make the trip to US instead (and I'm in Europe actually with a different voltage).
I'd suggest getting a Turbo Duo, Turbo Duo R, or Turbo Duo RX, considering those are prolly the only things you can't import all that cheap...Either that or an A/V Famicom I guess.
Buying a Japanese PS3 is cheaper then getting a US one (at least with the current US Dollar / Yen exchange rate), if you don't really care about PS1/2 games being region locked. And your not paying for shipping either I guess. Pretty good deal I would think.

In any case, I'm looking for suggestions that aren't necessarily game related as well (although I guess this is not the best forum for that )
Ivo.
Well, for turbo duo you can play a bunch of cool shmups and simply get them off the internet and burn them to a CD-R. Combine that with a PC Engine flash cart and you can play pretty much every game for the system!
As to other things to buy while in Japan, really depends on what your interests are. They have a bit of everything tbh. I'm sure GrittyKitty should have a few good suggestions though.

yeah, i got some suggestions. don't get more than you can handle! (like i did...) but really, the sega saturn usb controllers seem like a cool thing. puyo puyo for mac os x (!) comes with one of them. damn sexy, mesays
