MS sure is desperate. If MS offered that deal in the U.S, it would be destroying the competition. No question about it.

Gotta do what yah gotta do. If this gets boxes into their homes, then MS wins honestly as it gives them more creedence for 3rd party games over there.

Now will this work, I don't know but it is an aggressive move, even if it is a core system.

And didn't MS fanboys say that Japan wasn't important? Seems like MS disagrees with this move.

They'll probably sell a couple 100,000 units with this move seeing as it's bundled with Trusty Bell, but it's not enough for MS to reverse the trend.

C'mon... it's pretty desperate to lower the console to that price+ extras and still not have it sell well. If they weren't desperate, why would they go for such drastic measures to ensure sales?

The same could be said for Sony when they dropped the price $100 in NA but that didn't stop Lemmings from calling it desperation.

OT but I saw your sig. Have you played Marathon before? I mean I'm a huge HL fan (just finished Cin Mod 4.0 replay) but that isn't as crazy as you think it is.

if we were all japanese then we would love blue dragon, won't we?

Japan is japan, ms was to sell there and is trying their best. Is it desperate, yes. But will it sell, yes. Money is all that matters not the console integrety.

Big difference between a baby price cut and slashing the system price in half with add on's and free stuff. Lets see the PS3 went down 16.7 percent while the 360 dropped 60% plus giving add on's and free software. Yes, its a desperate move by MS to win the Japanese market.
