I just used this site earlier today and I'm pretty pumped about it, so I thought I'd spread it around to others who might actually appreciate my enthusiasm. If you live in the USA (or live elsewhere but have some USD on you) you can pick up Japanese iTunes, Xbox, PSN, Amazon, and other such gift codes from the above site. Yes, all of the gift cards are in JPY (Yen), and no, the site doesn't rip you off with high 'exchange rates' that actually snag them an ungodly profit. I just got ¥1500 for roughly $22, which is a $7 markup from Google's currency converter. Other websites I found were charging $40 though, which is ridiculous. It's kind of a niche site and the people run it 'by hand', as in they don't have a machine that picks up these gift codes, so I don't mind sending the comparatively small profit their way. I know firsthand how much work it is to maintain a website. They use Paypal for transactions, so no need to worry about security.

In my case it took about an hour and a half to receive my codes (one ¥500 and one ¥1000) and I just downloaded an album from iTunes a minute ago (no tax on iTunes stuff in Japan, apparently. Yay!) so I'm pretty happy with the service. Definitely plan on using it again.
