So Nippon-Yasan said the following regarding my inquiry as to whether it was already listed and pre-orders sold out or if they had not yet "gone live":
"Thank you for your message
This item will be available after the release date
Please don't hesitate to send another message if you need anything else."
Umm... gee thanks. So not sure how one would use the "pay later" functionality that's advertised. I know sometimes there's something lost in translation and the culture usually responds with quick answers, but I have a feeling that's the best I'll get. So to anyone wondering, "the item will be available after release date" at NY
