and my, probably poor translation

Someone care to fix my translation?
Another example of something cool you would never see in the U.S. because of perceived cultural differences. At least they put it up on their web site. Thanks Greggman!
the translation looks fine, but it sounds to me like they’re trying to go for an RPG item feel with the stuff he buys…Dragon Quest and the like are littered with 勇者の剣 etc. So maybe call it an Inspiron of Processing +5, or something to give it that Western RPG feel
Can’t do the translation, but I can tell you what the ad was really about. It is a young man starting his first job, as told through the style of a computer game. He buys all the stuff he needs with his mastercard. But with the final moment (starting your dream and adventure) being Priceless. Then at the end of the ad, the line would translate similarly to the US endline for mastercard ads – “there are some things money can’t buy, for everything else there’s mastercard”.
