It is very hard for any non japanese people to get their hands on Visual novels because the american video game industry doesn't recognize the appeal of these great games. They are happy with all their FPS's and visual novels don't get any recognition. They really are great games however esspecially if you love simulation esque games. I've played Fate/stay night/ and all the Girlfriend of Steel games plus a few others. These games have great art direction and really are undercredited.

People talk about a lot of websites that have translated visual novels but are they just translated or translated and dubbed?

Just translated.. Unless they actually have fan dub. Trust me, unless it is a special occasion (lie maybe Fate/Stay Night, MAYBE) then you definitley want just translated text.

On Jlist they go for around 35-50 but on himeya shop they will go for those prices because they have to be imported.

LOL i always want to play one, like Tsukihime and Fate/Stay Night visual novels..The only one i can found is the torrents with 1.8 gb files to download >_> Even Fate/Stay Night have 3 CDs with different story...
-Maybe because the license?japanese only?
-There's already a lot of Visual Novels translation in the net( like Clannad and Tsukihime), so you just can buy the game in Japan or Amazon, and download the translation file, Voila!PLAY PLAY PLAY

Is Mass Effect one?

Mass Effect is a choice game...but in the different genre. Whole worlds generally don't die in visual novels and there's always a romantic theme( to my limited knowledge of visual novels) .
