JU-ON press mailer is a gross, hairy, & bloody wad of WTF photo

Well, our review copy of XSEED's JU-ON: The Grudge for Wii showed up yesterday, and... yeah. Where do I start with this one? 

Stuffed inside an innocuous-looking FedEx package was a manila envelope, covered in blood and a JU-ON sticker. Oh, did we mention there was bits of hair sticking out of it? Pulling the envelope out of the package, the hair got twisted and stuck to my hands. As if that weren't disgusting enough, I reluctantly opened the package to find... a gigantic clump of bloody wig hair. 

Also of note: the game itself was wrapped in bloody bandages, and XSEED also included a small, white box covered in blood. What's in the box? Hit the jump to find out. 

Yup, that's a AAA battery and a key. From what I've been told, a key gameplay element of JU-ON involves collecting batteries for your flashlight. You'll need that to see as you move around the game, what XSEED is calling a "haunted house simulator." 

The key? I have no idea. It doesn't open anything in my house, and trust me, I tried everything. Keys, however, are traditionally scary as crap. Right?

Keep your eyes peeled soon for our full review of JU-ON: The Grudge, which is in stores now, sans bloody wig hair.

I wonder if that's real hair... I'm sure fake hair costs more than shaving somebody's head.

That's it, when Squeenix gives out the review copy for FFXIII, they better put some of Sazh's hair in it.

it would have been creepy, but then they put "Ju-On: The Grudge" on the box, which just made it gross

Clearly the key is a prelude of what is to come in the game.

"This door is locked."

OMG *uncontrollable burst of laughter*.
- Thank you. Made my day better.

I don't wish that on anyone, but hypothetically it's LOL.

Xsees prefers Duracell to it's competitors.

This is a crazy promotional "gift", but friggin' awesome.
I wonder what they in mind when Fragile comes out.
