In what seems like an effort by Microsoft to stamp the Xbox 360 brand onto Resident Evil 5 in Japan, a new Xbox 360 bundle has been revealed with full Resident Evil 5 regalia.

The bundle includes a 60GB hard drive, the Resident Evil 5 deluxe edition (with the collector’s edition tin and soundtracks) and a 48 hour Gold LIVE trial account, all at a price of ¥34,800 or $373.

Another bundle, the Star Ocean 4 Xbox 360 bundle, also appears to be an attempt at the same goal, trying to link the Xbox 360 brand with a popular game series in Japan, where Microsoft hope to make even more strides in building the Xbox name. This bundle comes with the game’s soundtrack and a faceplate (for a price of ¥24,800 $265).
