Only about twelve Japanese people have ever played Halo, but Microsoft is insistent that they, too, line up to buy Halo 3 when it hits the Xbox 360 there on September 27. To spur interest in the series, they have announced the Halo History Pack, a compilation of the first two games in the series.

"But Chris," you ask. "Even though more people in Japan have purchased Xbox consoles than Xbox 360s thus far, surely they are no longer using these consoles for anything, unless they have hollowed them out to hold rice." Indeed, which is why the Halo History Pack will come with a third disc, which contains the system update that allows both games to run on the Xbox 360.
A hard drive is required, of course, to install said update.
The Halo History Pack ships on September 13 and also includes a chart that shows users how to play the game with an Xbox 360 controller. All for the low, low price of 2980 yen (about $25).
