Xbox 360 Core System Going to Japan

Microsoft is bringing the Xbox 360 Core System to Japan a week in advance of the PlayStation 3 launch. Previously only available in North America and Europe, the Core System will cost 29,800 Yen ($256), approximately 10,000 yen ($86) cheaper than the premium Xbox 360. They're also throwing in a few games. From the article: 'According to a Microsoft spokesperson, buyers of the new base system will also get two free games for a limited time: Project Gotham Racing 3 and Ninety-Nine Nights. Microsoft will additionally announce the release of three other Platinum games which will be priced at 2,800 Yen, or $24

Hold up, how is this fair that microsoft treats it U.S. and U.K. fan base like that? Japan does not care for the xbox, why give to them at such a low price, when the U.S./U.K. users would buy so many consoles at that price? plus they are including games!!! Over here in the U.S. the core console costs 300 dollars about 46 dollars more than the japanese core system!!! and we dont get any games with it! this is b.s. thx microsoft, but i dont think this will even boost your sales in Japan. good luck, cheap skates.

Microsoft will suck in Japan. Plus the compat with Xbox games is poor.
