http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/05/surface-pro-japan-05-29-13-01_620x340.jpgMicrosoft's Surface Pro (http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/05/microsoft-surface-pro-review/) started shipping in the US back in February (http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/09/psa-microsoft-surface-pro-available-in-us-canada/), but its rolloutelsewhere (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/23/microsoft-surface-pro-and-surface-rt-now-shipping-in-more-countr/) has been sporadic (http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/15/microsoft-surface-pro-coming-to-the-uk-may-23rd/), and a 256GB model non-existent -- until now. Japanese customers lusting after the Intel Core i5-powered hybrid will be able to claim one on June 8th, priced at 99,800 yen ($975) with 128GB of storage. The new 256GB iteration will premiere on shelves there for 119,800 yen ($1,175), and customers there will be able to adorn it with the Touch Cover for 9,980 yen ($100) and tactile key Type Cover for 10,980 yen ($110). Better still, Microsoft will toss in its pressure-sensitive pen (and Office 2013) for all the versions as well -- just in time for you to finally do something useful (http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/10/surface-pro-driver-adobe-photoshop/) with it.
