In Akiba’s Trip, the PSP game in which an otaku dude [[link]] strips “vampires”, a black machine appears in-game. It looks like an Xbox 360. In fact, that’s what I thought it was. That assumption, however, is totally wrong. Players can use a wide variety of otaku-flavored items as weapons in Akiba’s Trip. For example, plastic [[link]] figurines can be used to strike down enemies.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); In the early days of development, one of the possible weapons in Akiba’s Trip was a PlayStation 3. But the developers were asked, presumably by Sony, whether that would be somewhat awkward. Akiba’s Trip is a PSP title, so it might be somewhat unpleasant for Sony to see characters getting clobbered [[link]] with PS3s! So the developers eventually changed the PS3 to a black machine that looks very much like an Xbox 360 Elite. Once again, the game’s developers were asked about this decision. The folks behind Akiba’s Trip recently added a name to this in-game item. See it’s not an Xbox 360 at all, but rather, it’s a “small heater”, as indicated by the on screen text. Yeah, that seems about right. AKIBA’S TRIP（アキバズトリップ）NEWS: 開発のおもいで [Akiba’s Trip]
