This is it! And by "it" we, of course, mean corporate synergy, as Sony Pictures Entertainment and Sony Computer Entertainment Japan reach across the cultural divide to bring America's late King of Pop to the island of Japan in the form of a bundled Blu-ray and "Special Pack"
PlayStation 3 SKU. But this bundle isn't as
off the wall as you may imagine. It won't
heal the world or
rock with you, but if MJ fans
wanna be startin' somethin' with the PS3, you really can't
beat it. Your ¥33,500 nabs you a Blu-ray of last year's behind-the-scenes cash-in and a 120GB PS3 Slim in a "limited offer" package beginning January 27 – sorry, no choice of
black or white. Oof, that last one was
bad.
MJ owed Sony a grillion dollars so its no wonder they're trying to claw back as much as they can.
sounda like a good idea but i think it's only gonna be succesful in the states
@Nokia N900
Yea and you must be living in never never land too.
If it quacks like........
+1 for witty article
Hmmm... "Sony" using up its MJ royalties, (I think..)
Sony's still milking MJ for all he's worth, I see. Something doesn't sound right about this whole affair. =/
@ohioviper
If you got a problem with Michael you got a problem with me. Do some research before you go ranting random bullshit against Michael. Just because you read it in the magazine or see it on the TV screen don't make it factual.
Is there any cosmetic differences between it and a regular ps3 slim?
@d3sc3nd3ncy - I'd have brought it out in white.
*ducks*
This reeks of desperation to sell some systems! but it will not help their failing software sales........
When did MJ become a great entertainer? For the last 25 year all of his crap appealed to 12 year old girls. Which is ironic because he really wanted to attract 12 year old boys. I don't understand how any adult cares about MJ. Paul McCartney, that guy was important. Frank Black created the groundwork for modern rock. MJ wrote teeny bopper music on par with New Kids on the Block or NSync.
@glamajamma it is quite abvious that he molested u or ur brother and u were there to watch or else there is no way you could be sooo sure he was guilty. Seeing is believing, What miss the encounter, would like to relive it?
@ctryspeng
Are you offering to molest me?
@glamajamma Not on ur life! I really have to decline the offer, u have been molested too many times it has WARPED UR SENSE OF VALUES.
@ctryspeng
My values are warped? You just said I was molested and you were hoping to relive the act with me? Gross dude. I heard you predator types are always on the look out for victims.
Billy Jean, she's not my lova, she's just a girl, but...I am in love with her son....yeahhhh I love yur son....
He's gotten killa....killa thighs...lifting weights and eatin right has made his butt so freakin tight.....
You are the world, you are the children, so let me clean up my place and you start giving.....
@Gator352 From the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh, stop lusting off people of your own sex.
@MoonWalkerCTE "If you got a problem with Michael you got a problem with me"
That's supposed to be a threat?
it IS a better place without MJ
@(Unverified) this is so unkind, i guess when you are gone people will say the same thing.
@Nokia N900 And I suppose you think OJ didn't kill her either.
This should totally ship with an updated version of the Moonwalker Arcade game. Moonwalker 3D?
lame
What is it with the lame puns Engadget? >.>
@MegaJapan They borrowed one of Joystiq's writers... didn't you notice?
Chris! Get back to pretending you care about video games!
This is thrilling.
people forget how much the Japanese really did love MJ.
Wow.... *Blink**Blink*
@Andir Shit he prolly thinks Charles Manson is innocent as well. why don't you beat it to some billie jean.
I can't stand John Mayer.
Lmao that write up was excellent....for some reason I feel like dancing
Does the black PS3 in this bundle slowly turn white and get far sharper edges and corners over time?
@(Unverified) Haha thats cold as Ice
Hmmm....
I can honestly say I know absolutely no one who will buy this. Awesome for Sony and their console war. This will improve their console sales for sure....The people at Sony need a serious kick in the marketing department these days.
@spodee you are extremely confuse or unfocus in one breath u are saying u dont know anyone who would buy this and in the other breath u are saying sales will boom make up ur mind.
@ctryspeng
.....Really??
It's called sarcasm/humor. Sony is losing the console war to Nintendo and Microsoft; it's sarcastic to say that something that won't sell is going to sell "for sure".
I'm going to wait for the Taylor Swift PS3
@(Unverified)
I'm with you man but I'm holding out for the Winger version!!
@spodee
lol...but she's only 17!
Wait this is it? There won't be a PS4?
let the man rest in peace
oh wait....in MJ's case...He's only 17...or less...
What?? Those are the new revised MJ songs. Sorry though, I like girls..or shall I say women!
I'm not sure its quite the thriller its cracked up to be...
