Video Marketplace heads to Japan
2009 plan revealed
Famitsu this week reveal that the Xbox Live's Video Marketplace is going to be released in Japan, the land of the rising sun finally getting access to the video-on-demand store now that sales of the console are on the up.
Details of the local offering remain highly non-specific, but Kotaku moot a release in 2009, and who are we to argue?
The strength of the Japanese Yen might also be a deciding factor, Microsoft perhaps noting the profits to be had in dollars thanks to the shifting exchange rates of the global economic maelstrom.
Reports do suggest plenty of content catering to local tastes, so instead of Hot Rod, lucky Japanese 360ers will be getting lashings of top-notch anime content, which may still make them the envy of their Western counterparts.
