Of books ... to all in Tsutaya

The first, Tsutaya, is a chain of stores that has all ballots to become one of your favorite places.In the beginning, it was a traditional video club, with a small section dedicated to the sale of books and magazines, but, as technology advanced, the chain also did, adding areas dedicated to video games and expanding much more the reading section.

Here, you will find the latest video game launches, movies, anime and manga, and even the oldest you can imagine, as AstroBoy.Impacts to see its immense offer.Weekly, and as I understand, their articles and geeks are updated.There you can find complete anime, such as Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, on DVD, for less than € 10 to change.

In Japan, almost all families have at least one “t card”, which not only allows you to rent films and get some discount on the premises itself, but, with it, you can get points even when making the purchase in the supermarket ofyour neighborhood, and then redeem them in exchange for money in any establishment compatible with it.And, in case someone wonders if there is also the possibility of renting video games in Tsutaya, I'm sorry to say that in Japan more than thirty years ago than video game rental is illegal, so there is no way.

THE BOOK OFF

As the name advances, the second chain, Book OFF, was originally a store dedicated to second -hand book trade, but its expansion was so fast that, soon, it opened the doors to all kinds of second -hand products.Most could be included in toys, consoles, music, movies, series and, obviously, video games and books.

From the classics "eighties" and "novelos" in Donkey Kong and Kirby style, to the entire Nes and Snes collection of Super Mario.You can also find special editions impossible to find elsewhere.All at a good price, especially if we compare with the "robberies" that we find on eBay for similar items.Of course, there is nothing new here, everything is second hand.

There is a video game rental practice.What many Japaners do is compare the game on the start day and try to finish it before the next morning, and then go to a book off and sell it practically at the same purchase price.The generous payments offered by these chains in exchange for second -hand items allow this process to be viable.

If you only had time for site to visit one of these stores, without a doubt, as a video game lover and with the intention of finding things only available in Japan, I would recommend Book Off.It is extremely simple to find jewels of the Square RPG style of the 8, 16 and 32 bits in limited editions and at laughter prices.Thanks to them, many people have been able to recall great memories of their childhood and discover authentic oddities that they did not know at a reasonable price.

Thus, we hope you liked this type of article, which is somewhat different where I not only talk about video games, but I try to give a broad review of everything that is related to the geek and retro.
