Man, Microsoft will try anything, won't they?

Yet another Xbox 360 console/game bundle is hitting Japan! This time, only 304 Japanese consumers will be tempted to purchase the system, which will be bundled with Namco's gorgeous looking RPG, Trusty Bell. It will come bundled with the equivalent of the Xbox 360 Core pack and be available on June 14.

Here's an idea on how to move some units in Japan, Microsoft: Bundle your system with the Nintendo DS.

How long before the 360 core goes the way of the 20GB PS3?

Maybe if they attached a DS to the box they would buy it ,although most of them will get the DS and drop the rest to the garbage bin but at least they would buy it. no?

At least Microsoft is recognizing what games it should be bundling with a 360 in order to make them appealing. They at least have the common sense not to make Gears of War bundles.

Haha, that WAS mean.

But, I vouch...how about we just sneak a Nintendo logo somewhere on the box and call it a day?

I'm not being mean! I'm just trying to be HELPFUL.

I'd love for Microsoft to be successful in Japan (and give me some candy).
