At Microsoft’s Xbox Summit in Japan on Monday they revealed some more information on the peripherals included in the Xbox 360 box and those which you’ll be able to purchase separately.

Included in the box (which are green and white, in Japan at least) is a wireless controller, an Xbox Live headset, Ethernet cable, a 20 GB hard drive and presumably an AV cable. Peripherals available separately include additional wireless and wired controllers, faceplates, a number of AV cables, memory cards, remote control, larger hard drives, wireless adapters and controller chargers.

The additional, large capacity hard drives and remote control are obviously for Xbox 360 owners who wish to take advantage of the console’s multimedia functions. If Microsoft can price these large capacity drives competitively, then they might tempt a large number of people.

Prices for these peripherals and the console itself are yet to be announced, but expect an announcement pretty soon, given that the console is expected to be released in November.
