According to Media Create PS3 sales are flat this week despite MH3HD releasing last week and nothing releasing this week. This makes me think that the true impact of the price cut in Japan has been held back for the past few weeks because people are waiting for the Xillia bundle. Which also makes me think that the boost next week is going to be very significant.

According to Amazon.co.jp, the Xillia bundle hasn't received any price cut. What exactly would people have to wait for? Besides, it's costs $510.00!

The bundle did get a price cut.

Amazon is probably just increasing the price because it's in short supply. And Japan has always paid more than America for video games in general.

:edit: Well as I said in the OP Japan goes crazy for limited edition bundles, even if its for western games. So the Gears bundle being sold out isn't that surprising. Although keep in mind, MS probably aren't shipping that many to Japan anyway. There was only about 5k of the Reach bundle in Japan.

Yes it did. I guess Amazon is reselling. Bic Camera has the Gears of War bundle sold out, too.
