I am going to Hokkaido this coming year end, wondering if electronics/cameras and PS5 is cheap there? Does PS5 provide international warranty?

I have never been to Hokaido but try finding Yodobashi or obviously go to Akihabara.. if you are info classic, can get used things at Hardoff which are littered there... generally they are cheaper and to add to that, foreign visitors get tax exemptions on certain products.

It won't be cheaper necessarily, but you can get tax rebate for it. Back then the GST was 8%, now I think it's 10%. Ask the shop if they have duty-free. Sometimes if you ask for "tax rebate" they may not understand. You will need to have your passport with you when applying for tax rebate.
You can find electronics / cameras / gaming stuff in pretty much any of the big chain stores. There's Yamada Labi, Bic Camera, Yodobashi Camera, and some others that I can't remember. These three are my usual places when buying electronics or video games. |

Sony to raise PlayStation 5 price by 20% in Japan
https://www.thestar.com.my/tech/tech-news/2...-by-20-in-japan QUOTE TOKYO (Reuters) - Sony is raising the price of its PlayStation 5 (PS5) games console in Japan by about 20%, it said on Tuesday, citing a difficult external environment including global economic fluctations. The console will cost 79,980 yen ($551) or 72,980 yen for a version without a disk drive from Sept. 2, the entertainment and technology conglomerate said in a blog post. Sony has said it expects to sell 18 million PS5 consoles globally this financial year, down from 20.8 million in the same period a year earlier. |
