Sony’s putting the spotlight on Japan once again as they’ve announced that the region will be getting a couple of game bundles that come with the new PlayStation Move motion controller.

One bundle features one of the first third-party games confirmed to have Move support patched in: Resident Evil 5. The Japanese bundle will include Resident Evil 5: Alternative Edition, a Move controller and a PlayStation Eye. This one will go for 7,980 yen (about US$ 90).

The other bundle, called the “PlayStation Move BIG 3 GUN SHOOTING Perfect Pack”, comes with three games (Time Crisis: Razing Storm, Dead Storm Pirates and Time Crisis 4: Arcade Version), a Move controller, and a PlayStation Eye. Yeah, it doesn’t carry the weight of the Resident Evil franchise behind it, but it should appeal a lot to lightgun fanatics. It’s a bit pricier at 11,980 yen (about US$ 136).

Both bundles will hit retail on Move’s launch date, October 21.
