If the pictures aren't enough, the story is summarized as: The limited edition Kasumi-Chan Blue XBox will come with a Kasumi-Chan long pillow measuring ~1.6m. Only 5,000 units available, priced at 22800 Yen.

I would have prefered if they made the pillow a replica of Kasumi's bust with big fluffy boobs for you to rest your head between. I mean if you're going to be that pathetic at least go all the way and give the fans what they REALLY want.

Lol... Seriously I'm absolutely speechless.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #3 on:** February 03, 2004, 01:24:46 PM »

You know you want one!
Why not make it a 3some and get two?

OK, now that would make me feel weird in bed with one of those, let alone two.

How pathetic....They should have just gone all the way and made a blow up doll version. Now THAT would sell some XBoxes.

Awwww...Where's my Ayane pillow!? ;____;

The ultimate weapon in any pillow fight. Okay, the inflatable couch is more powerful, but that doesn't count!

Meh, she's all plastic. Not my type of girl.

Desperate indeed. Shows that Microsoft is willing to use sex in order to sell their product - a first for them, I believe./

Sarcasm?

*pukes thinking about the DOA3 and XV commercials*

I can't get the smile off my face

It'd be great addition in a college dorm or sublet. Those long pillows are comfortable.

But serioulsly though, can you blame them? The 'Box is barely pulling 1000 units a week in Japan. They have to do something to get some sales. Tecmo is Microsoft's samurai in shining armor.

Maybe when they release Ninja Gaiden, include a special sword or something?

Tecmo & MS have hit themselves to a new low........

manunited4eva22 · « **Reply #13 on:** February 05, 2004, 10:26:18 AM »

5000 units aint going to make a difference, this isn't about sales.

WHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA

[prentending to be naive] *Ha* yea, like a punching bag. . . . . . . I'm uncomfortable.

Coming from a system that made Volleyball and BMX XXX type of games, I'm not surpised.

I like what SearanoX had to say,
"Desperate indeed. Shows that Microsoft is willing to use sex in order to sell their product - a first for them, I believe"

How true.. I can go along with the bounce factor for realism in the game, but selling sexist product I do think is too far. I know video games are in the entertainment business, but can we have a difference in between the industries?

For the record, these pillows are nothing new.

There have been body pillows of anime characters for years.

Belldandy from Ah My Goddess.
Naru from Love Hina
Shinobu from Love Hina
Chi From Chobtis

I'm surprised DOA body pillows havn't been individually avalible prior to this.

Wait... SHINOBU??? God, somebody castrate the responsible idiot, he's a danger for society.
Also, they shouldn't bother with Chii pillows or anything, make a PC case already!
