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.
