dancecentral

Microsoft Japan has announced it’s to bring Kinect dancer Dance Central to the country from June 2, priced at ¥5,880. The Harmonix title, which released in the west alongside the motion controller last November, will also come with codes in its initial run to get free downloadable content. Without a code, it’ll be 240 MS points if you want the content.

Thanks, Andriasang.
