Japan always gets cool bundles. Hell I just had to get one of the blue dragon faceplates off ebay which came from one of the bundles.
Sucks the RE5 bundle doesn't get its own faceplate, I'd imagine if it did it would look sexeh.

They have to give the Japanese a reason to buy their console.

What the fuck... I'd expect Japan-based Sony to give their best shit to Japan... not Microsoft, an American-based company.

Stop being an ass. This is to attract more Japanese gamers to the 360 which is by far the best console on the planet yet is way behind in Japan. More Japanese gamers means more Japanese support in terms of game development.

This generation has been really odd...
considering the 360 has more japanese developer support than the PS3 does.
and generally the 360 caters to more Japanese genres than the PS3 does. (im especially looking at Shmups and JRPGS)
Good for Microsoft.

Because some gamers in Japan may be able to read this and might be interested in these deals.
There. I just felt like you might want to know there is a world out there.

Its called the "D terminal" if you directly translate it.
Technically its the same as component cables (which I think your used to), but D terminal cables are alot more compact. Components have 3 cables just for video signals, but "D terminal" cables, they're all wrapped up in to a single cable and the connecter looks similar to computer cable.
I think this is specific to Japan and not available in other countries.
Look at this Wikipedia site for more information.
