Japan to Get Xbox 360 Arcade Posted by XanTium | February 4 13:26 EST | News Category: Xbox360

From next-gen.biz: [QUOTE] Microsoft has announced that a new entry-level Xbox 360 unit will go on sale in Japan next month. The Xbox 360 Arcade, which was launched in the US last year, will target new gamers when it hits Japanese stores on March 6. While the unit's 27,800 yen price tag will match that of existing models, the Arcade 360 will sport an HDMI port and come bundled with a wireless controller, a 256MB memory unit and five Xbox Live Arcade titles, including Uno, Boom Boom Rocket and Pac-Man: Championship Edition.

Sounds about the same as our Arcade. Its a good deal i guess but you will need a HDD at some point

Maybe they shoulda included some decent Japanese Arcade titles or something like BlueDragon as well to increase sales.

Why do Japan keep getting the better deals?? 27800 Yen works out at £154 (£131 plus VAT), whilst we're paying £200 for the same thing. Where do we go to get our 25% rebate???

The 360 is all but dead in Japan - if you really want it to sell better, stick a Nintendo label on it.

stick a Nintendo label on it.

Or a Sony label maybe.

No one can say MS didn´t try at Japan.
