Copying and pasting from one blog I wrote on to another is fun. Let's do it now.

I know that there are a lot of you today who already know plenty about the process of importing games. Really once you get down to it, it's a pretty simple process. But for those who are curious, yet uncertain about how to go about doing it, they might be interested in checking out myrecent guidefor this site. It's a blatant plug for my own work, yes, but I figure that since there are other guides on this site not devoted specifically to one game per se that my work might come in handy for someone here. Heck, I even discuss how to go about ordering games from Japanese stores directly, a topic which I don't think gets mentioned very much when the subject of imports is brought up.
In writing the guide, I tried to cover as much as possible that I knew personally. There are some things I'd like to have a bit more fleshed out, which is why there's a help wanted section in there, but if you can think of anything else you think I need to talk about, you're free to tell me that. Really, just feedback in general is appreciated. I've done other guides in the past, but those were usually way more technical, so I wouldn't mind hearing whether I did okay for something more casual in comparison. Also ideas about which pages to attach the guide would be greatly appreciated. It's attached to Final Fantasy XIII at the moment simply because of the inevitable import wave to come with that, but I'd like to include more for visibility's sake. (Retrospective note: This is all referencing features on the Giant Bomb site specifically. I'm just too lazy to cut it out here.)Thanks in advance if you check it out and, as a reward, here's a picture of the Persona 4 cast if they somehow wound up in a Mother game. Yep.
