I'm going to Tokyo this coming April 22th.

A friend of mine said that PS3 is only MYR400 there, is it true?

Another thing is, I am thinking of using credit card most of the time with hope the exchange rate will be cheaper than change money at money changer. Most shops there should able to accept credit card, right? Or is it better to topup alot of money into the suica card compared to bring cash or credit card?

22/4 until 29/4.. Tokyo only, except that my japanese friend said if want to see sakura then have to travel to the north for two hours because there's no sakura in Tokyo anymore.

Vandetta, not true. i just came back from Osaka and Kyoto. PS3 is slightly cheaper by RM100 ++. but then for region and warranty, you need to take note.

as for money changer in Osaka/Kyoto, the rates are very very bad. best to change to yen in Malaysia as first option. just my opinion

Impossible. not only for Japan but for practically everywhere you go, visa/mastercard & the bank will screw you on the credit card FX.

Give you one example the other day my colleague bought something about RM5,0000 in MY using SG credit card card, the effective rate he got was about 2.35. Reuters rate is hovering around 2.42-2.43!

Judging from your responses looks like it's better to use cash, and exchange it in Malaysia. A bit afraid to carry high amount of cash biggrin.gif
