Well, this certainly is odd! When you think about 7-11, you'd generally be reminded of an everyday corner convenience store, would you not? Let's take that misconception out of everyone's heads with this little tidbit. In Japan, not only can you purchase games, but they've also offered up a special deal.
By preorder at 7-11 from January 21-March 11, you'll be able to purchase KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 ReMIX at the discounted price of ¥6,280 (roughly $67.64 USD), down from ¥6,980 (roughly $75.18 USD) and receive a PS3 custom theme as well as a serial codes for items in the KINGDOM HEARTS PC browser game.
There's a limit on two copies per person so if you're willing and able, head to 7-11 and place your order as soon as possible!
Thanks Zephyr and goldpanner!

Lol I never knew Seven Eleven sold games in Japan.
Same here! Video games at the corner convenience store seems so far-fetched xD
Lol I never knew Seven Eleven sold games in Japan.
I never knew Seven Eleven existed outside North America. O.o"
I bought my first slurpee from 7/11 on the 21st of January. It was raspberry.
I never knew Seven Eleven existed outside North America. O.o"
I didn't even know Seven Eleven existed.
I hope we get special deals like this.
I dunno if specifically 7-eleven does all this, but the convenience stores I went to in Japan were so different from western ones. You could pay bills, post mail, order things like concert tickets... it really is....... CONVENIENT
Video games can be purchased at 7-11's in America too. They're just usually really shitty games. Weird though, considering promotions with an actual game store would probably bring in a lot more profit.
I have translated the 7-eleven product description found here, just for fun :)

Haha, thanks goldpanner! Makes it all the more official with translations.
I've never been to 7-11, but I was NOT expecting videogames being sold there. Chains outside of the U.S. are so much cooler than the ones in the U.S.
Well, happy buying for all the people in Japan!
How funny cause I was just at one yesterday. The japanese are very lucky and it seems like a very good deal too.
That's pretty nifty, having a discount at the 7-11 though preorder. The tranlation says that 358/2 was released on the gba back in 2009, not sure if that was a tranlation error or they just got handhelds mixed up o.o

there are some in the US where you can send mail, but I agree. All this is is rare in "the greatest country in the world"

yeah 7/11 made an error.
So does this mean that the US MSRP will be $60? Because I seriously hope it's the usual $40-50.

I don't think SCEA would let them price it above $40-50 considering it is a Remaster.
That is odd...does anyone have a photo of the complete banner that they have for it? In the photo in the OP you can only see some of it with Riku's face cut off ^_^
If we did have a full photo, we would have used a full photo...

Oh well ^_^ I thought the photo was used to zoom in on the text but that's still cool nonetheless.
this just makes me wish i lived in japan all the more..
Aww man... Why can't American 7-11s sell video games too?! The only thing they're good for here are slurpees and snacks for car trips.

They do.
At least all the ones around here (Washington).
And they have been for at least five or six years now, so I can't imagine that it's only around here.
Maybe only in select areas?
Wow, that certainly is strange, but cool nonetheless. I wonder if well get a similar deal when it is released nationally

I know only certain 7-11's have them, but a bunch around me do. However, I'm located by NYC so maybe it might be based on how many people live in that area...however, the 7-11's as stated earlier don't sell any games of the Kingdom Hearts caliber.
I work for 711. . . . I hope they decide to do that in NA :D
Its just so funny how different our culture is from Japan. Like I live in sacramento, CA and the only thing we have at 7-11 is ghetto ass ppl begging for money, Hindu ppl giving you dirty looks for buys gas at their store and the occasional 7-11 hold ups. lol :wink:
I live in Appleton, wi and its kinda the same, just not as many beggars.
Innfact the neighborhoods generally nice. It's not entirely abnormal to see a normal person at kwik trip at 2am.
I'm so jealous of Japan's citizens.
