Japanese 360s get DOAX face-lift

To commemorate the Japanese launch of Tecmo's Dead or Alive Xtreme 2, the publisher's online shop has announced an Xbox 360 faceplate for the game that will go on sale next to it November 22. Kasumi will retail for 3,150 yen, or about $27. It will be sold both through Tecmo's online store and in game shops throughout Japan. The online shop's description reads: "It will be summer in your Xbox all year round. One look, and you'll want to grip your controller, even if you're not playing the game." The online shop also features towels, posters, and, for the truly deep-pocketed DOAX fan, replicas of bathing suits depicted in the game for 19,950 yen, about $170, each.
