Have Too Much Money? LucasArts Can Help
LucasArts has announced that several Star Wars: The Force Unleashed-themed avatar items will be available on December 9 on PlayStation and Xbox Live. That means you'll soon be able to spend actual currency (or fake Microsoft dollars) to outfit your make-believe character in clothing that would get you slugged in the real world. As a special treat, Xbox Live users can buy an Ewok pet to remind them of how cool Star Wars was before Jar Jar Binks came along.
Here's what you can buy:
Xbox Live
• Scout Trooper Armor (male/female)
• Scout Trooper Helmet (male/female)
• Rebel Trooper Endor Combat Fatigues (male/female)
• Rebel Trooper Endor Combat Helmet (male/female)
• Starkiller Jedi Hunter Costume (male)
• Ewok Pet
PlayStation Home
• Scout Trooper Armor (male/female)
• Scout Trooper Gloves (male/female)
• Scout Trooper Helmet (male/female)
• Scout Trooper Bundle (male/female)
• Rebel Trooper Endor Combat Fatigues (male/female)
• Rebel Trooper Endor Combat Gloves (male/female)
• Rebel Trooper Endor Combat Helmet (male/female)
• Rebel Trooper Endor Bundle (male/female)
• Starkiller Jedi Hunter Costume (male)
The Endor Rebel Trooper? Seriously? Those are the action figures that get left behind on store shelves for months... if no one wants to buy the real figure, what makes LucasArts think we'll shell out for the imaginary dress-up version?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
