I'm guessing everyone here knows that I'm talking about the weekly Japanese videogame magazine. Anyway, I know there's ebay, and a couple of Kinokuniya stores on the east coast, and probably Yahoo! Japan, but I was wondering if there was any other source out there I could use to find them. Especially if it's not just through the regular avenues. Well, thanks for your help.

I got a quote for 20€/issue when I asked how much it would cost to subcribe it to Finland. :/

Anyways, you can try http://www.jpngames.co.uk/index.htm, you can request magazines from them. I haven't done business with the place but what I've heard it's reliable.

Play asia sell lots of different kinds of famitsu mag. You can buy individual issues or set up a subscription service with them.

They are a good place to order from i have used them in the past with no problems

Thanks, that's pretty interesting, the last time I asked them they told they didn't have plans to take Weekly Famitsus. I guess there were others interested, too. :)
I recommend Play-Asia wholly, I've had many good deals with them.

Just out of curiosity, How would you compare OXM to Xbox Famitsu??

I can't read japanese yet but I might be tempted to try to get the magazine ;)

Hmm, I only ever got the regular multiplatform Weekly Famitsu, so I can't help you on that. I think the quality of Famitsu magazines and Enterbrain products are pretty high in general though.
