I noticed in the launch blurb that to access the iTunes Store in Japan you
can purchase prepayed iTunes cards from computer, camera and records shops.
This is, no doubt, because Japan has one of the lowest, possibly the
lowest, rate of credit card ownership in the developed world.
this could create a bit of a grey market for these prepayed cards I already
have a card coming by snale mail from a friend in Japan so it will be
interesting to see how things go with
that....
Apparently people have been selling the US cards on eBay for some time.
(Couldn't your friend just e-mail you the magic numbers from the card?)
Have fun,
Shay
