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.
For the full artical go here (http://www.wired.com/news/games/0,2101,62176,00.html?tw=wn_tophead_5)
In the mean time here are some pics.

I'd definitly feel a little queer buying that and even more so sleeping with it. Not to mention more then a little dorky for having a video game girl on my masturbation errrr... hugging pillow.
Then again, the Japs really go for that kind of fruity/dorky thing.
I swear 90% of the video game dork sterotype comes from Japan and the other 10% comes from... me:D

Wow, MS is really trying to boost sales in Japan. I have seen so many Japanese exculisives on this forums, it's crazy.
Not like that is bad or anything.:D
