With all of the
hoopla going on in Japan right now for the Tokyo Games Show, Microsoft
has let loose the nitty-gritty details as to what they plan to do for
the Xbox 360's launch in various regions. First off, they have
announced the dates for when the new console will hit streets in North
America (November 22), Europe (December 2), and Japan (December 10).
Also
of note, the company has announced a completely separate SKU for the
console to be released in Japan. This version of the unit will
come with a hard drive, cost the equivalent of $350US, and be the only
version of the 360 available when it launches in Japan.
