Capcom HATE/love

Yep, they're charging for MH3's online mode.

Just to tease us they also give purchasers 20 days of free online play. That's 33% more than we got for MHGii.
The prices are the same as Gii too,
30 days for 800 points*
60 days for 1500 points*
90 days for 2000 points*

*Unlike other places, in Japan Nintendo points equate exactly with money.

Let's break that down:
26.7 yen/day
25 yen/day
22.3 yen/day

So let's be honest, there's very little difference between signing up every 30 days or every 60.


As much as I hate the idea of paying to play online, I'll probably be doing it. At least for the free 20 days.

Ha-ha! I'm back!

Left Japan, moved to Canada.
Shame I won't be able to buy all those cool games at such good prices anymore but that's okay.
I still have a good friend sending me a copy of Monster Hunter 3 after it comes out.
