    Xbox 360 World Cup Edition Announced

    Xbox 360 World Cup Edition Announced
    Microsoft to release special 360 bundle for soccer-crazy Japan.
    by IGN Staff

    March 29, 2006 - World Cup fever is already starting to hit Japan, and not just on the real-life soccer field. Things are heating up in the videogame world as well, with a flood of soccer titles set to hit in April and May across all systems.


    Xbox 360 isn't being left out of the fun, the latest issue of Famitsu reveals. Coinciding with the 4/27 Japanese release of 2006 FIFA World Cup, Microsoft Japan will release a special World Cup model of its next generation system. Known as the Xbox 360 Blue Limited Edition: 2006 FIFA World Cup Koushiki Kateiyou Game-Ki (Official Home Game System), the package includes the following items:

    Xbox 360 system
    20 Gig hard disk
    Wireless controller
    Media remote
    Head set
    D-Terminal HD-AV cable
    LAN cable
    AC adapter
    Instruction manual
    4 batteries
    Adidas Japan Blue faceplate
    Adidas Japan Blue original bandana (2)
    2006 FIFA World Cup
    The system ships in a blue-colored package and, with the special face plate, looks like it was pulled from an Adidas commercial.

    Microsoft will release just 10,000 of these limited edition packages. Pricing is set at open.

    That's hot. I'm jealous cause us Americans never get that special treatment like the other places.

      M$ needs to build up interest in Japan. It only makes sense.

      The only big company that needs to build share in the US is Nintendo and they aren't going to do something special for us anyway.

        after people in japan get this bundle, they are going to lose ALL interest in the xbox 360, because FIFA is not going to be even comparable gameplay wise to winning eleven 9 on the ps2...
        japan has been spoiled with the AWESOME winning eleven series (especially the j-league we9 version), that they will get instantly bored with the predictable ai, yo-yo dribbling (feels like the ball is glued to the players foot), and NO variation in how goals are scored that the ps2 will be back in the mix...
        My xbox 360 experience has been awesome with nba 2k6 and college hoops 2k6 along with trying out COD2 and fight night, BUT if microsoft plans on trying to push the xbox 360 in asia, it is going to take a h**l of ALOT more to do it than offering FIFA...
        just my $.02
