I was interested in subscribing to the Japanese mag Famitsu Weekly. Is it possible, for readers outside of Japan?

If it isn't, what's the best online store to pick it up (I can't find a single store here in Portugal with the magazine)?

Hmm, that's strange - there's a subscription listed on Play-Asia but it won't let you buy it!:

You can get it from Lik-Sang but only the latest issue:

Thanks. If I can't find a 6 month or 1 year subscription option I'll try Lik-Sang.

I was having a look on other forums for you and you can buy a subscription to Famitsu Weekly from the Japan Centre who are based in London.

Looks pretty expensive though and it'll be even more pricey for you if you're in Portugal! You could try emailing them and see how much it would cost:

Thanks for your offer, but for now I won't be subscribing the mag (it would be too expensive, and since I had some unpredicted expenses I guess I'll wait a bit). But thanks anyway, it's rare nowadays for someone to be helpful... :)
By the way, how much does each issue cost in Japan?
