R-Type Command pre-order bonus is awesome

If you were on the fence about picking up R-Type Command, you may want to think again. Pre-orders of the upcoming tactical game will receive a rather spectacular bonus: a replica R-Type ship! For fans of the franchise, this bonus alone should be worth the cost of admission. Pre-order bonuses are available at amazon.com, GameStop and GameCrazy.

thats pretty sweet. too bad the game was bizarre to me. i thought r-type was supposed to be a fast paced shooter. still. this bonus makes the game seem cooler.

O.....M.....G......!

I've been an R-Type fan since I played the original in the arcade back in the late 80s. I so want one of those ships.

But, the demo really disappointed me. For some reason, I was expecting something along the lines of Homeworld. And $40?! Sigh. Maybe the ship will turn up on eBay.

With the stupid inflation on things like this, you might be just better off buying it now.

Good point. I wonder if Gamespot still gives you the pre-order premium and then allows you to cancel your order...

...and by "Gamespot" I really meant "Gamestop."

I just pre-ordered it and didn't get anything, so they probably don't have them in stock yet.

Wow, that's what I call a bonus. I'll definetely consider preording now =P

Oh, BTW. The game should've been called "RType Tactics" instead of Command. I know it sounds lamer, but at least there wouldn't be so much A-holes still thinking the game's a shooter.

I bought the PS1 Classic R-Types when it came on the PlayStation Store and I'm really liking it so far.

Great Bonus. Unfortunate though the game is very dull.

I was gonna order a box full of these from play-asia, but since Atlus is doing this and I got a pretty big discount through their online store at Amazon I guess I won't anymore.
