Famitsu this week reveal that the 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 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, 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.
