Something else - if you go to the Akihabara game stores, try to avoid the big gameshops along the main road (unfortunately Trader 2 is one of them), many foreign tourists go there without comparing prices. The more hidden a shop is the better the bargain will be. Sometimes I could buy cheaper games in gamestores in Shinjuku instead of Akihabara, because the shopkeepers in Electric Town are not stupid. Last november I searched "Shadow of the Colossus" for PS2 in Akibahara, but it was sold out in most shops. The shops where they still had it doubled the retail price to more than 12.000 Yen. But I went to Shinjuku West Exit, there are some gameshops around, there I found it for the official 6.800 Yen. So Akihabara is not always the cheapest place to shop.
