Sony Pairs PS3 and This is It in Japan Limited edition bundle combines system with Blu-ray.
January 5, 2010 - Final Fantasy XIII got the first slimline PlayStation 3 bundle in Japan. Michael Jackson will get the second.
Sony announced an unexpected bundle today that pairs a standard charcoal black 120 gigabyte slimline PS3 with the Blu-ray version of This is It. The bundle will be released to Japan opposite the This is It Blu-ray on January 27.
While the included PS3 is just a standard system, unlike the special white system that was bundled with FFXIII, Michael Jackson collectors will at least have the special box to look forward to:
Sony will be charging \33,500 for the bundle, representing a \1,460 savings over buying the \29,980 PS3 and \4,980 Blu-ray disc separately. This is a limited edition item, so collectors may want to brace for inflated auction prices.
