I found some good language learning podcasts in iTunes that even included pdf files for reading material. I am not sure if this was what you are looking for though.
I used to have a CD for the PC that teaches basic Japanese. The language is a bit difficult to learn especially since the sentence structure is different from how we form sentences in English. You'll really have to devote a lot of time in learning it...not to mention the kanji.

Also, I recently saw a "Learning Japanese" software in a computer store. I didn't check the price, though I'm assuming it's cheaper than the games stuff.
It will be tough, yes. Especially if you're going to think English while learning Japanese. There are words that don't really have a specific translation in English like "yoroshiku" or something. And that "desu" which I always seem to hear...
Check out Pimsleur. They have some great language tapes. I learn some Spanish from it. They use a system developed to allow you to understand conversation really quickly. The FBI and CIA use it. Do a Google search.

Nice to see that I'm not the only one who is thinking about learning japanese although it will be a tough task.
