I'm from Australia and was one of those who got a pre-order for the x360 but was disappointed by the console. It only took 10 minutes for my x360 to completely die and I had to get a replacement. I was also concern with the overall quality of the console as it seemed to have workmanship issue, it looks rushed and badly built. The number of games is also appalling, about 10 at most to choose from. If a relaunch means showing the x360 in a different light without the quality built and game genres to support it, it just gonna be seen as the same crap but a different smell. And beleive the Japanese are very picky when it comes to the overall quality of a product from a manufacturer perpective. To them fisrt appearance means a great deal.
