Corporate synergy keeps the late "King of Pop" alive, as various divisions of Sony conspire for a special This Is It PS3 bundle. The ¥33,500 ($365) Japan-only set releases January 27 and comes with a Blu-ray movie of Michael Jackson's behind-the-scenes concert film, along with a 120GB black PS3 Slim. No word if this bundle will come with a white PS3 later.
So, let's get this straight: Japan gets a Michael Jackson PS3 bundle, while the US is "blessed" with a Hannah Montana PSP pack? That's bad, come on, you know that's bad. And the whole world has to answer right now, just to tell us once again: that's bad!

But the real question remains; does it scream SHAMONA when you turn it on?

Ha that's funny! But considering how much money Michael owed / owes Sony (some $200 mil, backed against his half of the Beatles catalog), not surprising.
Granted, they had to pay for the concert footage, but they're probably eager to get back whatever they can. (There will be no doubt an epic battle between them and MJ's family for his Beatles catalog)
Just think, the money they loaned MJ coulda paid for 50% of the Cell Development.

I'm wondering if that PS3 will fall into pieces too ...

It comes with an artificial udder attached to the back, so you can continue milking the Michael Jackson franchise even after Sony stops.

I said is Crap!! ..My Jap 120 GB PS3, purchased one month ago, was around Y 28000, ( roughly $ 285 ) ...so almost $80 extra for a BD about "the DEAD king of POP? "... Meh... Better to invest ona Game bunlde, extra controller, etc
I could understand if a FFXIII silver edition to be the case...

As it came into the retail
It was the sound of a new sale
It was set up on display
And left HD on the TV
So they ran to the department
To see if they could buy it
So they took it to the sales clerk
It was rung up, it was then bought
Sony are you okay
So Sony are you okay
Are you okay Sony?

So Sony are you okay
Are you okay Sony?
You've milking
You've be selling
A dead legacy

it should at least come with a port of that sega Genesis game he had back in the day.

Moonwalker? That was a port of an arcade game, but yeah, I'm surprised we haven't heard of it being brought to PSN/XBLA.

You have the IQ of a candy wrapper if you're comparing MJ to Saddam, and i never heard of any one making jokes when Saddam died.
