Any die hard XBox fan will know of the chicks from the Dead or Alive games. If they’re not kicking each other’s buttocks in street fights, they’re in bikinis playing volley ball at the beach.

But if you buy an XBox in Japan this month, Microsoft is throwing in a dakimakura or hugging pillow, similar to those bolsters that all Indonesians simply cannot sleep without.

Quote: “I guess they’re supposed to be used … as pillows to hug, of course … and for other obscene purposes that I would rather not mention.”

Did you know that there’s a crack that can be applied to hack the game, giving you heaps of money and discounting the price of bikinis, sunnies, hats and other items to just one dollar. It also removes all clothing from the DOA girls, and adds detail to their rude bits.

To the disappointment of many, there is no mention of any nude patches for the pillow.

Of course, with my high moral standards, I never would have applied the crack if I had known it promoted nudity. I thought it would only give me unlimited money. To my horror, I only discovered it also removed the girls’ clothing when some kids fired up the game in my home.

I predict the streets of Hong Kong will start selling similiar imitations, like Chun Li and Lara Croft. In fact, I will start investigating the idea of removable pillow cases! A different character for each night!
