Oh yes! We all expected it!


He's gone but certainly not forgotten and to prove it, Sony is preparing to release a new Japanese PlayStation 3 bundle based on the late Michael Jackson. CrunchGear reports that Jackson's huge status in Japan and close relationship with Sony spurred on the new "This Is It" bundle which hits stores in Japan on January 27th.

The Michael Jackson documentary This Is It, for example, has been distributed worldwide by Sony Pictures Entertainment. And Japan's Jacko fans can soon lay their hands on a special PS3 bundle [JP] that includes a Blu-ray of said documentary.

Priced at $350, the "Michael Jackson – This Is It Special Pack" will be available in Japan starting January 27.

It's one of the more obtuse marketing deals we've seen in recent times, but hey, who are we to question the world's biggest pop star? There's no word on whether this MJ-themed pack will launch outside of the Japanese market at this time.

I just don't get why they bundle a PS3 with a blu-ray.
Its nothing special.
It's less to pay I think...
If you think a PS3 is $299
A blu-ray is about $60-70 (I'm not American though)
AND you get the blu-ray commentary
So... Go figure :smoke:
