Sony bringt PS3-Bundle mit Michael Jackson´s This is it

[Newsman]

Mittwoch, 06. Januar 2010 | Newsman - MJackson.NET | PS3-Universe | SONY |

Für Sony ist die PlayStation 3 nicht nur auf dem Videospielmarkt interessant. Die Blu-ray-Funktion wird natürlich ebenfalls gut vermarktet und so ist es kein Wunder, dass Sony Computer Entertainment Japan am 27. Januar ein Bundle mit Michael Jackson´s This is it veröffentlicht. Pünktlich zum Filmrelease steht das Standard-Bundle bestehend aus einer schwarzen 120GB PS3 und dem Film im Regal. Vermarktet wird das Paket als Limited Edition, schließlich soll es beim King of Pop etwas besonderes sein.

Am 25. Februar erscheint die Blu-ray in Europa. Bisher wurde aber noch kein ähnliches Bundle von SCEE angekündigt und so bleibt dem Fan bisher nur der Blick auf die nett anzusehende Verpackung...

Info - UPDATE

Donnerstag, 07. Januar 2010 | Newsman - MJackson.NET | Sony Deutschland |

Preislich wird das Bundle mit 33.500 Yen (ca. 252 Euro/Tageskurs) zu Buche schlagen, doch wie die europäische Niederlassung von Sony bereits mitteilte, verfolgt man derzeit keinerlei Pläne das „King of Pop“-Set auch hierzulande zu veröffentlichen. -schade!

Wer es haben möchte, den bleibt nichts anderes übrig als vorerst über Japan-Import zu versuchen.
