I got into Ace Combat 6 for the Xbox 360 far too late to get in on the hot, flightstick bundle action, and I’ve been regretting it for months now, especially considering the prices a used model of the special controller have been going for on eBay. Well these guys are going to feel awfully silly now as Namco Bandai announces the return of the Ace Combat 6 Flightstick bundle! Available exclusively at Best Buy, the pack comes complete with Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation, the Hori Ace-Edge flightstick, a custom Xbox 360 faceplate, and a copy of the award-winning aerial combat documentary Speed & Angels. The total package retails for $US149.99.
Microsoft has announced another value pack for Japan. Last November, a bundle with Viva Piñata and Forza Motorsport 2 was released. This November 6th, a new value pack was drop. Priced at ¥29,800 ($452), this bundle features a 60GB Xbox 360 along with Ace Combat 6 and Beautiful Katamari in the same game case.
Yes, yes, the Ace Combat 6 trailer voice overs really do make everything better — even Hayao Miyazaki’s classic Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. Hit the jump for the original AC6 trailer.
Damn, you reader people are talented. Our make-an-aeroplane contest has drawn to a close! Here are the top twenty reader crafted planes, all competing for a copy of Ace Combat 6. We got tonnes of submissions. Much love to everyone who took the time to enter. Here’s how the voting works. There is a gallery below. Click through it and vote for ONE PLANE that you like by writing “I vote for this” directly under that photo. Vote only once. Failure to do so will cause your vote to be void and end in us showing you the door. To see how the voting worked last time, click on this post. Voting ends midnight, MOUNTAIN TIME. One more thing! We will be posting the cosplay entries in a separate voting post a little later. Sit tight! Editor’s note: You can view the gallery and vote here.
We’re speechless, so let reader filip fill us in:
Here is my plane. This is the carrot plane,it is made of carrot. Yumm!
We’re still speechless, so allow us to copy and paste: To bring everyone up to speed: Dress up as an aeroplane OR make a three dimensional aeroplane out of anything tangible, but paper. So you can’t make CGI planes! And you can’t draw them either! But, you can make them out of anything else as long as it’s not paper. Rocks, clay, toothpicks, whatever! And remember, that means make and not build a plastic plane model you bought in the store. Send entries to kotakucontestATgmailDOTcom by this Friday at midnight PST and, like all contests, don’t forget to add a “Kotaku” sign. Remember, we’re giving away two copies of Ace Comabt 6 and INTERNET FAME. One copy for the best plane cosplay, the other for the best crafted plane. In short, two separate contests. Those keen on seeing a plane cosplay, hit the jump for Sean’s entry. There’s a bucket involved!
