Microsoft To Release Monster Hunter Bundle In Japan

Retailers may be ramping down promotion and orders for the Xbox 360 but Microsoft is fighting back. On September 28th a bundle will launch that combines the Xbox 360 250GB Slim with Capcom's latest lootfest Monster Hunter Frontier Online.

The redeemable code for Frontier Online allows players to play the game for free for a limited time and gives them some starting gear. Unlike other Monster Hunter games Frontier Online is not a single player experience. It is a multiplayer only endeavor complete with subscription fee.

Do you think that the Japanese Audiences will bite at Microsoft's latest offerings? The bundle will be priced at 29,800 YEN, which is the equivalent of $390 USD. To put things in to prospective some Japanese retailers have reported that the Halo Reach Slim Console, that was release just 12 months ago, can be found for as little as $120 USD.
