Hello,

I'm thinking about buying a minidisc player to make some recordings while
traveling in Japan.  Does anyone know if minidisc players are cheaper in
Japan?  Should I just wait and buy one when I get there?

Also, does anyone have a suggestion as to what the best part of Tokyo is for
accomodations?  Shinjuku?  Roppongi?  Akasaka?

Thanks.
