DoA Volleyball - Live The Bikini Dream

Posted by simoniker on from the definitely-a-weekend-post dept.

Thanks to several readers for pointing to a Gamers.com article discussing the sale of limited-edition bikinis based on the Team Ninja-designed virtual costumes from Dead Or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball for Xbox. The article says that "..the Echo (Lei-Fang's schoolgirl suit) has been left out, leaving Tina's Asterope, Kasumi's Amaterasu, Ayane's Lamina, and Hitomi's Cepheus. Each can be had for the modest price of $149.99, which we deem quite reasonable for such coveted items." And if you're having trouble visualizing these 'unique' products, the Tecmo USA store has pictures of the available-for-pre-order bikinis (a tipster says "..try changing the JPG image numbers for some added perspective.")

    Ok, so I don't know what worries me most: the fact that this made it to the front page of slashdot or the fact that I know those bikinis even tho tecmo's page seems to be slashdotted.

    I need to get a life... but at least I'm not the only one.

    Now there's a website qualified to judge the value of women's clothing. These guys must moonlight from their day jobs in Department of Defense procurement.

    Such coveted items? But I thought the main market for the game was somewhere around the 18-35 male demographic...

    Oh, wait...

    (shudders at the thought)

    How many things can I find wrong in this picture?

    The header says 100% Games, selling bikinis.
    The biknis are anything BUT exotic, K-Mart level stuff.
    The bikini's also cost more than any other outfit I wear that COVERS MY BODY.
    And Small / Medium / Large really isn't too descriptive for clothing.

    My god, if this sells, I'd be disappointed in mankind. OH WAIT! I ALREADY AM for EVERY sucker who bought the game.

    A bikini is all about the woman feeling good about herself.

    Wo-man? I've heard rumours of such things, but are you seriously stating they actually exist?
