Thanks for the information.
I purchased Crazy Stone 2011 (English version) in 2011, but I didn't
satisfy the features. I think the features of Saikyo no lgo 2011 are more
complete than the English version, and I am now going to purchase Saikyo no
lgo 2012 (Japanese version). However, I got some problems.
I changed my computer's locale to Japanese. Then, I downloaded and
installed the "Saikyo no Igo 2012" and the required "soft-denchi " (
http://www.soft-denchi.jp/comdocs/dlguide/index.htm ). It told me that the
remaining soft-denchi is not enough to launch "Saikyo no lgo 2012". Then, I
pressed the "pay" button, and it redirected me to a web site which
requested me to enter my phone number, my card name, and my card number. I
didn't know what to do.
I have some questions as below.
1. Can I purchase Saikyo no lgo 2012 even if I am not in Japanese?
2. Can I purchase Saikyo no lgo 2012 via Paypal?
3. Can I purchase Crazy Stone 2012 (English version) with complete features
in Japanese version?
