A maid cafe in Akihabara is currently holding a nearly two week long promotion for psychological-guro series Chaos;Head timed to coincide with the brand new Vol. 1 DVD release, and the Chaos;Head Noah Xbox 360 release of the game last week.

On top of that there is another ¥630 in shipping…
Though there may yet be an otaku market for this kind of item, however strange that may be.
