> Amazing - in just 4 days the iTunes Music Store in Japan has sold a million > songs - twice as many as all of the competing download music stores in Japan > combined sell in a month.
not surprising when the opposition sell the songs for around $2 to more than $2.50 per song. You see the same sort of "bargins" with CDs and DVD's New CD's in Japan are around about $40 DVD's about $60Aud. (or for serials like anime and serialised tv shows are only 1 hour but still cost about $30Aud.) but second hand CD/DVD's and grey market CD's (legit disks from China, Korea, Hong Kong etc) are usually one third the price. Little wonder trying to elbow your way through a second hand CD/DVD shop in Akihabara on the weekend is like trying to board a rush hour train at Tokyo's Shinjuko station
