MS new tactic to sell JP XBox - Love Pillows!

Getting in Bed With the Customer

So, to celebrate the Japanese release of Dead or Alive Online next month, Microsoft is rolling out a special edition Xbox set with an extra-special bonus -- a dakimakura, or "hugging pillow," that features a life-size, front-and-back print of teenage character Kasumi in a skimpy bikini.

I don't think this will be coming to America anytime soon.
