A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
This is ridiculous.
@oxeneers
They made a MIley Cyrus PSP, so you know Sony is aiming low these years. But I'm happy they didn't let their advertising firms handle this bundle or they would have packed a white PS3 instead...
@oxeneers
You mean thrilling! Or should I say thriller! :)
@oxeneers
which part? the face that sony is gonna be making money off of it? or the fact that there's a lot of people that really loved the man, and considered him one of the greatest entertainers of our generation, if not of all time, and will definitely buy this if they were in the ps3/blu ray market. if its the former, eh...maybe. The latter, i couldn't disagree w/ u more. look at all the people that still make the pilgrimage to graceland (for all u non music/american folks, thats the home of elvis in the state of tennesse)
@oxeneers
I know.
Please, let this be IT!
@oxeneers
You wanna be startin' something? Sure, Michael was off the wall but you should look at the man in the mirror before you cast Michael as the bad guy...
@simbadogg
Ummm....The part where the corporate sector won't stop using Michael Jackson's untimely death to promote their products, get it? That's a cheap marketing strategy and shame on everyone who's using it.
@CBingo
Guess what, I am sure a ridiculous majority of the people in here can look in the mirror and say they arent a pedophile. The guy was a sick bastard, and he gets a pass because he made some good songs 20 yrs ago?
When a kid can identify body markings on a man in places he shouldnt, thats a sick bastard. Case closed even if he can moonwalk.
@oxeneers
Is it autographed by Jackson?
@oxeneers
Just Beat It!
@oxeneers That's ignorant, you all are just being ignorant!!!
@CBingo
Okay, hold on a sec while I run to the mirror . . . alrighty then, what have we here? Let's see, does that handsome face in the mirror mutilate itself to change it's personal appearance? No. Does it encourage friends to let their very young children sleep in it's bed? No. Does it molest children? No. Hmmm seems like the guy in the mirror isn't so bad. Now, about Michael Jackson...
@oxeneers
Stop hating on MJ man. Especially if you aint open to ALL types of music. Dude was and is a legend!
I know it's going to be Thriller night when this gets out.
@Stoichiometry
FAIL
Was Jan. 5 an MJ related date? I was at buffalo wild wings, and they played at least 5 of his songs consecutively...
@B3astofthe3ast There are people that think he was actually good at something besides pedophilia.
@Andir He was good at settling lawsuits with the families, scaring people of all ages, and making people wonder how his skin got white (I'm not buyin the whole disease thing).
no custom michael jackson artwork on the case?
@Wiggy Fuzz It's not going to heal the world
OMG!!!!
@Q3Km518 Pun Overload.
Jeez! First the Chris Farley tv commercial and now this ps3 bundle!?
I just hope they don't make a movie! I won't stand for deceased actors to be profited from!
@Frostblade10 remember the Simpsons ep where Homer kills "stars" so that producers can use their digital images for projects they were not willing to do?
@Munk
No, but i think I know where they drew the inspiration for the futurama episode with Lucy Liu and the robots.
@Frostblade10 Dont forget using Billy Mayes' ghost to sell Kaboom...
@Frostblade10 This is nothing all Christmas long I kept hearing songs by deceased singers, whether it was Bing Crosby or Nat King Cole. I even heard a Christmas song from John Lennon!
I'm sure the last thing in the world these people would have wanted would be people enjoying their music after they passed away!
,,,,,,,there are soO many things wrong with this post!
poor taste.
MJ will be spinning in his grave faster than the blu-ray drive on the ps3 with all this crappy merchandising
loool the title is awsome
pathetic...
In Before some people start pointing out:

@Teslanaut
You pointed it out yourself, you... you... hypocrite!
@Gad Get Why thank you! Hypocrisy makes the world go round. :]
I know it's coming to Japan, but I wonder if it would be a Stranger in Moscow.
Where is the Josh Topolsky PS3?
@NeoDarkSaver Stuttering in limbo?
If this had and MJ design on it I would buy it solely for that but since it doesn't I gotta say YA DOIN WRONG!
Hmm, playing Left 4 Dead while listening to Thriller? Interesting...
They should thrown a vinyl sticker for the fanatics to stick on that ps3, it's only fair if you exploit their madness.
Yep we got make as much money as possible out of his death before he becomes old news don't we?
What better way to commemorate the deceased than to make a bit more money off of it?
You guys should burn in hell for all those puns.
@Demios
If that's the only reason, I'll be amazed... and burning, because I'll be right there with them.
Please, keep your MJ jokes in the closet.
Oops.
@TheSeanWilson
That pun is strictly reserved for when the R.Kelly PS3 comes out. Probably wont sell much though anyway since it will smell like piss.
And the award for the best Engadget post goes to... MJ PS3 Bundle!
Oh Wow , This Time Around I really gonna buy PS3.
Remember the time...of Michael Jackson on Super Nintendo !
