La chaîne de supérettes 7 Eleven sera la seule à proposer au Japon une offre Xbox 360 réunissant le Value Pack récemment annoncé et le RPG Lost Odyssey. Pour 39.880 yens (242 €), contre 34.800 yens (212 €) pour le pack seul, l'acheteur repartira donc avec la console, un disque dur 20 Go, une télécommande, un câble HD et trois jeux, puisque Viva Piñata et Forza Motorsport 2 sont inclus d'office dans le pack. Une petite réduction, en somme. A noter que les joueurs qui feront l'effort de réserver leur pack auront droit à un poster au format B2 avec l'illustration du héros Kaim par Takehiko Inoue (Vagabond), qui figurera également sur l'emballage carton, lui aussi en édition limitée. Joie.

Summary :

The retailers "7 Eleven" will sell :

For 39.880 yens (242 euros)

Xbox360 20gb + 1 HD cable + 1 paddle + VivaPinata + Forza Motorsport 2 + Lost Odyssey

If you precommand it, you get a poster of Lost Odyssey !

Maybe this can give some momentum to 360 sales in Japan? Who knows...

Pretty sweet - same price as the 40Gig PS3? But with three (decent) games - nice!

OMG what a bargain!

Wow sometimes living in a region that doesn't buy your console of choice can be a godsend. We will never see anything that good in the US. Europe may get something as nice but at a higher price.

MS is really trying hard in Japan! This has to make a sooner or later.

Somehow I don't see this increasing sales much. Even if it doubles sales that will not be enough to make a difference.

If it permanently doubles sales, Xbox 360 will be close to PS3 in Japan in terms of weekly sales. If you predicted that one year ago in any gaming forum, people would call you crazy.

Unfortunately that speaks more to how poorly the PS3 is doing than how good the 360 would be doing.
