There are no slurpies as aznjohnny mentions, but I also don't remember seeing video game sections from when I was there. It was probably a very small section that I overlooked. The best thing about 7-11's in Japan though is that there are a lot of them around and they all have atm's in english that work with American banks. And Yeah, Chu-Hi's. Daddy misses you :-(]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[bigbirdpaulie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 4th 2009 5:40AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 80GB PlayStation 3 on the outs in Japan, PS3 Slim looking all the more likely]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/80gb-playstation-3-on-the-outs-in-japan-ps3-slim-looking-all-th/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/80gb-playstation-3-on-the-outs-in-japan-ps3-slim-looking-all-th/</guid><description><![CDATA[Mmm, chu-hi... just finished drinking one, but I got it from Family Mart since it was a block closer.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Paul D]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 4th 2009 10:44AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 80GB PlayStation 3 on the outs in Japan, PS3 Slim looking all the more likely]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/80gb-playstation-3-on-the-outs-in-japan-ps3-slim-looking-all-th/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/80gb-playstation-3-on-the-outs-in-japan-ps3-slim-looking-all-th/</guid><description><![CDATA[hell yea, so freaking awesome<br><br>hopefully it has an emotion engine in it, to play retro PS games<br><br>ALSO FIRST]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Meet]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 4th 2009 3:40AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 80GB PlayStation 3 on the outs in Japan, PS3 Slim looking all the more likely]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/80gb-playstation-3-on-the-outs-in-japan-ps3-slim-looking-all-th/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/80gb-playstation-3-on-the-outs-in-japan-ps3-slim-looking-all-th/</guid><description><![CDATA[nope, just 2nd to fail]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[abkyuubi47]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 4th 2009 3:46AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 80GB PlayStation 3 on the outs in Japan, PS3 Slim looking all the more likely]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/80gb-playstation-3-on-the-outs-in-japan-ps3-slim-looking-all-th/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/80gb-playstation-3-on-the-outs-in-japan-ps3-slim-looking-all-th/</guid><description><![CDATA[Have you ever noticed that those people who try to announce that they were the first to comment on an article are almost inevitably not the first?

I'm not sure if anyone is making new 2.5" drives with 80GB per platter any more; they stopped that density for 3.5" long ago.

In Japan they offer a wider selection of products and services. Japanese 7-Elevens offer not only food, drinks, and magazines, but also video games and consoles, music CDs, DVDs, digital cardreaders as well as seasonal items like Christmas cakes, Valentine's Day chocolates, and fireworks. Slurpees and Big Gulp super size soft drinks are no longer sold in Japan; these products were not popular when 7-Eleven originally opened in Japan.<br><br>That's awesome, I only wished our 7 elevens were as sophisticated.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[aznjohnny]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 4th 2009 5:24AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 80GB PlayStation 3 on the outs in Japan, PS3 Slim looking all the more likely]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/80gb-playstation-3-on-the-outs-in-japan-ps3-slim-looking-all-th/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/80gb-playstation-3-on-the-outs-in-japan-ps3-slim-looking-all-th/</guid><description><![CDATA[A 7-11 without slurpees is a 7-11 I don't want to go to :(]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[CtrlBurn]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 4th 2009 8:04AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 80GB PlayStation 3 on the outs in Japan, PS3 Slim looking all the more likely]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/80gb-playstation-3-on-the-outs-in-japan-ps3-slim-looking-all-th/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/80gb-playstation-3-on-the-outs-in-japan-ps3-slim-looking-all-th/</guid><description><![CDATA[Be happy you even have 7-11s to go to.
