Cruel Crisis Core "bonus": Japan gets a new silver PSP ... We get a cheap UMD case?

Gothic Girl | January 28, 2008 | News | Playstation Portable 
When Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core was first released in Japan, 77,777 lucky people got their hands on the special Crisis Core bundle that was also being offered. The bundle included: A limited-edition silver PSP, a special Crisis Core themed PSP case, the game itself, some small Crisis Core accessories, all wrapped up in a Crisis Core box. Pretty spiffy, huh?

Well ... It seems America won't quite be getting the same perks that Japan did. For anyone who was hoping for a similar bundle to be released in America, don't hold your breath. Instead, with every Crisis Core pre-order in America (only in selected stores), you will also get a cheap plastic UMD case with the ShinRa logo on the front. And the logo isn't even colored. Hooray for crappy "bonuses".
Crisis Core Pre-orders Can Net You Geeky Goodies. If you're willing to drop the cash on a copy of the PSP entry in the "Compilation of Final Fantasy VII", you could walk away with some attractive plastic. This Shin-Ra Electric Power Company UMD case is yours for the stuffing, should you pre-order Crisis Core from Amazon, GameCrazy, GameStop or EBGames. Surely limited in the tens of thousands, so act early.

    All these Square Enix, Sony and stuff have Japanese roots, so I guess they favour their people. We Asians don't get anything.

    "We get a umd case"
    but youre an aussie dear

    and to be totally honest, i actually think that umd case looks kinda cool. i'd love to have that to put my spare memory sticks in instead of this little sandisk case =D

      Agh! My secret identity has been blown! *runs away ... never to be seen again*

      Though tbh, Australia will probably get the same sort of cheap deal... Or even nothing at all.

        PAL regions will get nothing. As usual.

        Yeah it's a shame how unfair it is there, region-wise. Like that 'Lost Oddyssey' bit...locking a few portions of the game if not pre-ordered. Meh.

        Knowing SE, they'll probably release the game again later on with goodies, more worthwhile than a UMD case.
