More Monster Hunter bundles hit Japan

Perhaps there's no real point to releasing these new bundled sets, considering just about every person in Japan already has a copy of Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G (aka Freedom Unite). If, by some off chance, they don't have one (or even a PSP), then, sure, this looks like a pretty good way of getting into the addicting craze. The new bundles, which include either a radiant red or vibrant blue PSP Brite (both with a copy of Freedom Unite packaged inside), will hit Japanese retailers on July 23 for ¥21,000 ($220).These carnival color PSPs seen in the bundles are not all-new; they've been available in Asia for some time now. Technically, a customer could pick up both a copy of the game and either PSP color (or another) right now, get the same value as next month's bundle and only spend a trivial sum more. Also, it's not as intricate and wonderful as the one that appeared at launch. Why'd SCEI even bother?

we're such lazy ass Americans! Just like Rome, we're sitting on our ass ready to get invaded. Listen, we need more state side games houses. We can't depend on Japan for every damn thing. People say the psp is in the dumpster but if we in the US contributed more to the cause the psp would be great for us since we'd have a lot of games to play on it. Further more we can do it up like the Japanese and make sooooo much money.

MH is hard as shit!
The game is vast and has plenty of crippling effects to slow you down but it is fun as hell. I'm here in the US and I got the game two and a half years ago and I finally ranked up to #2 a month ago. Hey,there is no one to play it with.
You have to understand the skills you gain with particular amour. The skill a weapon has like sharpness and other attributes like dragon!Man this game ain't for punks! You have to learn a lot of stuff and it's mind boggling!
This game is not built for the American audience so buyer beware.
