Xbox is is trailing big in japan - Ps3 difinitely picked up.  Xbox 360 is selling better but it needs a boost.

so here it comes.

Star Ocean, RE5 Xbox 360 Bundles Announced For Japan

release on February 19th, the Star Ocean bundle will sell for ¥24,800 ($263) and will include a copy of the Xbox 360 exclusive game, a soundtrack CD, a faceplate, and special box packaging.

The Resident Evil 5 bundle will ship on March 5th with the game's Japanese release, selling for ¥34,800 ($369). In addition to its 60 GB HDD and 48-hour LIVE Gold membership trial card, the package will come with a copy of the game, a headset, a soundtrack CD, a collector's tin case, a code for downloading an RE5 theme, and a special box design.

Resident Evil 5 will also release for the PlayStation 3 on the same date, but Sony has yet to announce a similar hardware bundle for the survival horror shooter.

so basically the RE5 360 bundle is half the price of the PS3 bundle.
