Fancy a schoolgirl dress-up?

It's not a new console we're talking about, but rather a strange pack available in Japan, noticed by the fellows of Kotaku. As weird as it may seem, inside this package that reminds us all of the Xbox 360 Premium is a schoolgirl costume and various other kinky items. This "Sexbox" pack is not only a seemingly pun using the 360's name, but there's also a clever way of making the "360" number appear on its package: pricing it at 3600 JPY (Japanese yen).

Care to know what's inside? Well, basically we're dealing with a schoolgirl costume, some lotion and a ... "roter", an item with a purpose that you'll surely figure out for yourselves. Keep in mind that the latter accessory is surely no pun on "router" and there ISN'T a console inside this pack. What some people won't do in order to catch the eye of the Xbox 360 fan passing by an average corner shop. In case the yen pricing doesn't do it for you, it can be converted to $33 or GBP 17, much cheaper than Microsoft's top-selling console. At such a low price tag, I'm sure this playful pack of items can easily outsell the gaming device.

Just hope that the employees of the stores selling such items won't mix them up with Xbox 360 peripherals, like some folks over at Wal-Mart, who placed the PS3 SIXAXIS controllers in the 360 display cases. This may be a sign that Microsoft's device is selling really well, since anything that's being imitated in Japan or China must be a successful product someplace else. Add this up to the list of strange "gadget tie-ins", like the "Chintendo Vii" or that phone with the PS3 logo on its back. What's next, a diaper called "Kidtendo Wee"?
