Normally Xbox 360 250GB ver in japan's official price is 29800yen,but this bundle show the official is 19800yen

I don't think it's a holiday price deal since there is no 29800yen price tag and the bundle start at Oct 4

And i don't think MS only cut the 360 price in Japan since no japanese care them anymore

Likely price cut is coming.

It can mean everything and nothing at the same time :p

I would say so yes. 3 years without a price cut, a new PS3 model and the Wii U, it would be smart to cut the price now.

Also, this would mean around 100$ price cut on X360 250Gb so it's probably some mistake or Japan only deal.

PS. Wow, X360 250Gb is 380$ now in Japan XD? Or is it some kind of bundle with games :p?

MS has pretty much kept the 360 pegged to the US price of the system although the JP price includes tax. It's just that the yen has become strong vs the USD in the past 2-3 years, which is why it seems very high doing a direct exchange.

Hopefully, MS comes out with a worldwide pricecut. This probably won't do much in Japan besides a temporary bump, but it could be big everywhere else.

If it would be the same 30% price cut worldwide it would be HUGE. But it's too good to be true, for now IMHO.

I think Japanese retailers are clearing out inventory.

My guess is they know something is coming down the pipe and in an effort to push what inventory they have out the door they're slashing prices. If sales are slow in Japan, they may be trying to get rid of what inventory they have before the holiday, so for the following year they have a very low inventory of consoles if any.

If I believed a new console was coming in 2013, and I do believe a new Xbox will be released then, than I'm going to make sure I don't have excessive inventory for the year. Because the holiday is my last chance to really sell through my inventory, and once the new console becomes announced and/or information about it gets leaked, moving new units will become more and more difficult as the year drags on.

If this was Europe or North America, where the release of a title can have a significant impact on sales, then I probably wouldn't be trying to clear my inventory. However, in Japan I can understand why one might want to start now then adjust inventory based on need later.

Here in the US stores have a myriad of Xbox 360 bundles on the shelves. While those will likely move quickly and easily during the holiday, the fact that they are sitting on the shelves here in the US likely means there are more of them sitting on shelves in Japan.

Well it's totally new bundle,not some old 360+some games deal,you can click the link and look at the picture

D-joe is right it's the newest bundle pack. It's not out anywhere yet if I remember it right.

It could also be a mistake - someone typed 1 instead of 2.
