A New, Affordable X360 Combo for Japan.

Japan was hit last November with a stunning offer made by Microsoft for its X360. In Japan you can get an X360 (With HDMI), wireless controller, 20GB HDD, one remote control, HD TV cable (D4), one lan cable, one month free membership to the XBOX Live (Gold), and two video games (like Forza Motorsport 2 and Viva Piñata). All this for merely $304USD or 211€! (The Full Story here).

Since Microsoft is Microsoft (a world company with almost unlimited resources), they'll begin selling here in Japan another value price combo that's already hit the US some time ago. The X360 Arcade includes five classic games, a wireless pad, and a 256MB memory card for just $260USD or 175€ ($19.99 Cheaper than in the US)...

Not bad is it? It would be pretty stupid not to jump on this offer when we know that in Japan a Wii cost 159€ and a PS3 with Devil May Cry 4 and 40GB of HDD 302€.

What will you do, jump for the X360 at this price? ($260USD/175€).

I'd buy this one. Instead of a ps3, that's for sure.

As I`m probably going back to Oz later this year....


I`ll take anything that isn`t region looked or can be unlocked!!!

Stupid companies who lock there product into a region and can`t use in a different region are totally in the stone age !

Ppl who buy games or travel can`t use games/DVD`s etc...


So anyone tell me which one isn`t region locked or can be unlocked?
