Want some good times but can't afford a real 360? Japan's so got your back. And your unmentionables. The SeXbox is a bag of fun that, despite the 360-inspired trimmings, doesn't come with any controllers. Or cables. Or power bricks, or headsets, or even a 360 console. So what does it come with, then?
Yes, for the cute and poignant price of ¥3600 (USD$33), you get a schoolgirl costume. And some lotion. And something (with batteries included!) they're calling a "roter", but which looks (at least to out child-like eyes) like a milkshake blender. Why would schoolgirls need to blend milk-oh. Ooohhhh. Never mind.
Xbox360みたいな「SEXBOX 3600」 アキバで売ってた[Akiba Blog, thanks Tigerj!]

I'll take 2 thank you! I'm wrong
Does it have multiplayer?
Quickly! To play-asia!
(reads the article.)
Oh. Damn. Nevermind.
Its all fun and games until your milkshake blender red-rings. ):
Hmm, wouldn't surprise me if it outsold the thing it's imitating.
Ill buy one ! or,,, i guess my gf would kill me if she got it for valentines day :/
@TherinDent: It comes with a wireless headset and a play and charge pack.
Wouldn't want RRoD with that!
just like family guy!
"It's my SeXbox, and her name is Sony."
They really should've included the cables.
There's a proper Red Ring/STD joke just waiting to get out, but it's Monday morning and I'm tired.
Wow, maybe this will increase the X360 sales in Japan?
Only in Japan...
yeah if it is a blender the 'red ring' is going to be a lot more difficult to fix than sending it back... no matter how unreliable that service is...!
Haha my girlfriend would love this! (so would i :P)
old news...
already bought 6 of them...
It's certainly been said before, but it's worth saying again: Hot tears of shame is the best tag EVER.
"That's my SexBox...and her name is Sony!"
/Family Guy
@gergsirronzero: Dammit, Comments hadn't loaded. Good Joke, Sir!
Different kind of red ring this time then?
@Degreeless:
You're not supposed to put that there.
I knew it! I knew microsoft would have found a way into the Japanese market!
If you start to see a red ring; you just apply more lotion.
Wow.. no offence but the Japanese people sure are horny
So where's the Wii jokes? You'd figure there'd already be some sort of sexual device modeled after that in Japan, c'mon! Get with it Japan, you're not living up to your 'Most Perverted Country' title if you can't even follow through with such an easy play on words. You're supposed to be good with those!
@otakufaisal: ummmm, the entire world is horny.
The japanese are just "creative" with it.
Damn you sir, this is the only Family Guy joke I still like to quote, and you beat me to it.
How did I guess it would have a schoolgirl uniform?
and wonder if sexbox live has been down for awhile too...
Only in Japan.
Another thing I like about japan. I want to give this to someone. I know they will like it or I can just keep it for my self.
I wonder how many Japanese businessmen bought this?
At least that model's milkshake blender brings the boys to the yard.
(Insert Family Guy quote here)
"Dang it Buck, its my turn to play with the sex box"
"Nu-uh, its my sex box, and her name is Sony.."
Not the same? oh well... still funny
I don't know what's more sad, this or the fact that Family Guy has like, one qoutable line ;-_-
This is exactly why I love japan.
@DaiMacculate: I was hoping someone would make that reference!
@Car2oon: one quoted line said by 3 different people and only 1 noticing it
My milkshake mixer brings all the boys to the yard.
@otakufaisal: No, Japan is just more open about sex.
@Mico is here, Mico is great. Deal with it.: They censor genitals in all the pornography though. Least, that's what I heard... >.>
What is this warm, salty discharge? These are hot.... tears.... OF SHAME!
@Anthropomancer （´_ゝ`）:
Yup, lots of sex stuff and sexuality references but a lot of censoring in porn. They've relaxed the censorship laws quite a bit though, they still vary from place to place but some of them still censor just to be on the safe side.
Now does this have Xbox inter-(intra?)-activity? If so count me in. Oh wait...
@Anthropomancer （´_ゝ`）: Most of the Japanese that I've talked to seem to think that foreign porn is "too hardcore" and kind of gross. I can understand. But j-porn is the best of all...I love hearing girls whine about having sex.
Only if SexBox Live is included with a one month subscription.
I misread the text at the top of the costume bag as saying "WTH COLLECTION" - to be honest I think it might be more apt.
So, Luke's foray into Hot Tears Of Shame territory wasn't just a temporary thing during Ashcraft's absence, after all... Keep 'em coming!
@chaos242: you = twisted.
uhhh, sounds appealing :D!
hmmm, i'm just gonna wait for the seXbox Elite. it'll come with HDMI and a nurse outfit ^_^
You're kidding, they totally stole that from "Hockey Zombie" comic.
[www.hockeyzombie.com]
Microsoft and their guerrilla marketing.
What about the PornStation 3, it has better graphics but lame fps.
Sounds like the best co-op game yet!
Japanese are some freakin perverted damn people. Does anyone else find it vaugely disturbing that most of their porn is cartoony barely post-pubescent teenagers?
FYI: Japan is the leading country for Rape fantasy pornography. Yikes.
@Furious_Liver:TF2 name i_have_fleas. Frag me! (and all the other people making jokes about RRoD): Ew.
@Big_Adam: I was going to specifically look up the origin story for the SeXbox, but I'd rather make them search through the archives of Hockey Zombie, the great webcomic that these people "stole" it from ( www.hockeyzombie.com ).
looks like 360? In japan? Doomed to fail
Expect outages for several weeks following purchase... :-)
