Places to buy NTSC-J Xbox 360 for cheap?

[BlackandBlue]

Anyone know where to buy a Japanese 360 for a decent price?  I mean, we sell a 4GB model in the US for $200, so is there an equivalent model in Japan? 

I checked play-asia, yesasia, ncsx, japanvideogames....  all of them have the 250GB model and are $380 and up.  I just want a cheap, run of the mill xbox to play some of the imports I have and plan to purchase.

Right now I have an old 360 that I fixed (RROD, can you believe it?) and I JTAGd.  I highly doubt it will last all too long, since once they red ring, its just a matter of time before it happens again (has been goinng strong for about 20 hours of playtime over the last few months).  Plus I would love to have access of the Japanese xbox store.  I know you can on the US console, but would like to keep the J stuff on the J console and the U stuff on the U console.

So, anyone know where I can get a new J-360 for under $250 (with HDMI)?  I may ask over at rising stuff, but would prefer not to bother them with something they dont normally stock in their store.

amazon.jp and have tenso ship it. I got mine back then the USD wasnt so weak. shipped here for about $270 they were selling the old Jasper models (w/HDMI) for about $199 with the conversion.

Not a bad idea at all.  The new style 4gb will be around $220 w/ free shipping to the courier service....  Might have to look into that option.  I know Rakuten does the same and I actually bought my copy of Judgement Silversword through them....  Glad I still have time to look around since the one I have isnt dead yet.

BlackandBlue, let me know when you finally buy.  I have been considering a 360 from Japan for some time, so you purchase price will help my consideration!

No problem, but it might not be for a while.  It all depends on how long my RROD fix lasts

you got an RROD US or JP system?

I fixed a US xbox360, but jtag'd it so I can use it to play my NTSC-J games.  I figured it was cheaper than buying a J system, but reliability is not really there (oh, who am I kidding, none of them are reliable!).  I am going to use this one until it can't be fixed anymore (without a reball) then pick up a real J xbox.
