Westpac have these things called "Mastercard gift cards" aka credit card as a gift card. You can only put money on it once (up to $800) and it has the usual expiry date and stuff.

When you are filling out the credit card address at an online shop, I think you can use any address. The card has a special Cardholder name which is on the card. I have used it to buy numerous things before with great success.

oh i've heard about those, are they free? or is there a fee for them? plus buying from amazon.jp means that there's currency conversion and usually mastercard charges about 2.5% of the total amount as exchange fees ... i wonder how that works with a giftcard lol what?

$5 fee for the card.

I never paid attention to the currency exchange fees, since when I do the maths I use a rounded down exchange rate to the closest 5 or 10 so I don't get my hopes up too much. Usually I've rounded it down enough such that the real exchange rate coupled with the currency exchange fee it works out cheaper than my calculation using rounded down figures.

i failed my maths yesterday..... no hope of getting a pass i rckn Cry

on a better note, the Children of Bodom concert was grreeaaaaat

1.5 hours of Death Metal suport bands (inc. breaks for set up etc) - first bands vocals were absolutely brutal, with a few high pitched screams akin to Cradle of Filth's lead vocalist, which were orgasmic. Second band was good too; very much like Cannibal Corpse *nods*. They got the crowd going heaps too, twas awesome, although the lead guitarist wasnt turned up enough, so when he got his solo on a slower song it was barely audible Sad

and then, omfg, children of bodom came out! played the songs i hoped for (Needled 24/7, Hate Crew Deathroll, Bodom After Midnight, Sixpounder etc). OMG when they started playing the intro riff for Needled 24/7 the crowd went freaking nuts! (its my fav song too, so i was aiding in the headbanging/general all-round noise/chaos making). They asked for the devil horns in the air, and seriously, was like the coolest thing ive seen; entire crowd had their hands in the air... seriously wish i couldve taken a photo of that.

and hahaha, while between songs at one point, and Alexi (lead singer) was taking a swig from his beer, the keyboardist started to play 'umbrella... ella... ella' (lol idk the name of the song... probly umbrella Tongue) - then the drummer starts playing along. Alexi's like, "wtf is this shit", but then shakes his head and starts singing the song in his vocal style... fucking brilliant (listen to their Oops I Did It Again Cover - i love it)

so yeh, Melodic Death Metal is brilliant... CoB is like my favourite band (right up there with Cradle of Filth, Kreator and Maximum the Hormone... although these 3 are diff. genres)

Yen -> Dollar is like, take 2 zeros off LOL So its about $85 now (not including postage though, which is gonna be $23 >_<) ... Don't think they accept anything other than credit card Sad
If you really want I can get it for you ^__^

OMG, REALLY?!  Love :O Do they still have them in stock? I heard that it's a limited edition release. o_O Just like that necklace.... which was soooo expensive. Cry

I'm on the boarder. lol. Around 3 and a half hours away from Melbourne.... so I doubt we could've met up if you took a plane. However you would've passed me if you drove. =]

It's in stock ... and they've started to drop the price again ---> LINK I don't think it's a limited edition, but maybe they'll stop making it after a while? I dunno lol what? The necklace was apparently made to order, which means however many were ordered were made, so that's like super limited ... but then it was diamond and platinum/CZ and sterling silver, so of course it would have been expensive regardless Cry
