Gundam PS3 Bundles

With the sales of PS3 ever dwindling, it's up to the good people at Sony of Japan marketing to revitalize the console sales. Quick side note: Can you revitalize something that has never truly been virile? Well regardless they are trying.

The current plan? Sell PS3 60GB consoles with Gundam Musou (an upcoming title in the popular franchise), along with a hint book, character file, and art cards.

Quite clever seeing as how the Japanese love extra packaged goodies. So do I, but unfortunately the selling scheme hasn't quite hit the big time here in the States.

The price you ask for this amazing bundle of robotic joy? A very scary listing as "open" pricing. Vendors are free to determine their own cost. See, vendors could try that in the US, but most of our video game stores are owned by the same parent companies, so the prices would sky rocket.

Well now I guess I'll have to keep my eyes open on Ebay to buy the collector's cards :(
