Free limited edition R-9 figurine with R-Type Command PSP purchases
If you live in the US (and Canada)...
They say everything is big in America, but anyone there purchasing a copy of the forthcoming PSP strategy fest, R-Type Command, from GameStop, Amazon.com, GameCrazy and a selection of other retailers (including EB Games Canada) will also receive a free bonus R-9 figurine.
A little gift, perhaps, but a big gesture for many R-Type fans.
The small yet detailed collectible plastic model of one of gaming's most famous spaceships (which comes direct from Japan and courtesy of IREM) can be assembled in a variety of ways and is apparently available in "very limited quantities". So gamers hoping to own one are advised to act quickly before the game's May 6th North American release.
Whether Europe can expect a similar deal remains a mystery, but we're trying to find out. We'll let you know how we get on.
