We're not sure how well the
Xbox 360 is doing in China, but Microsoft's cashing in on this whole
Chinese New Year business by throwing out a limited edition Chinese New Year Xbox. The box is colored red, which Chinese people like, but includes Halo 3, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense to us. If we were designing a game to include with this box, we'd do something like
Viva Pinata, which is kinda festive, or
Boom Boom Rocket, which has a whole lot of fireworks. Killing aliens may be fun, but it doesn't scream welcome to the Year of the Rat. [
