Ride the Bullet Train, Pay Big Money, Get a PSP Loaner

While Japan Airlines is dishing out DS Lites to executive passengers, Japan Rail and Sony decided they do 'em one better and, uh, loan passengers PSPs. The campaign runs from this October to the end of next March and is only applicable for riders in the first class "Green Car" on the Tohoku Bullet Train. A redeemable coupon is given, which is then traded for the PSP unit and software. Available games have yet been mentioned. Green Car tickets are significantly more expensive, costing 50% more for a little more leg room. Usually, whenever I take the Bullet Train from Osaka to Tokyo, there are like three old men sitting in the Green Car. The vast majority of passengers opt for the cheaper, regular seats, which are perfectly comfortable. Talk about telling. Brian Ashcraft
