THQ's Squad Command-themed PSP is sexy, ridiculously limited
THQ is excited about its recently shipped Warhammer 40,000: Squad Command for the PSP. How excited? Unphased by the handful of lukewarm reviews, it seems that the company has had crafted a very limited set of Warhammer 40K-themed PSPs to celebrate the game's release. Unfortunately, limited is the name of the game, as THQ has seen fit to have just six of the handhelds forged at the hands of Games Workshop and a squad of professional modelers, making this both one of the rarest game console variants ever created as well as something of a cruel joke.So far, the fate of only one of these handhelds has been revealed, as it will be given away to one extremely lucky gamer in the UK care of a competition on THQ's website. As to where the other five

I wonder how much Ebay will have it for...$1000 as a VERY VERY minimum perhaps?

Cool... but it looks like it's just a plastic thing glued to the back of a PSP.

"Daddy, I want a Warhammer 40,000: Squad Command Limited Edition PSP now!"
"I'm sorry, Veruca dear, daddy's doing everything he can!"

Who cares? It's just the damn Ultramarines?

I don't like the Ultramarines either, but a Warhammer themed psp from any army is still the most badass special edition psp out there.

I bet you they put no effort in and they still look amazing. Seriously, have you ever been in one of those games workshops? Once you get past the extremely overpriced models, and hang out there for a bit, you will see the people who work there can make an amazing production quality looking model from crap and scrap and paint it to look like each tiny thing on the model is individually painted.
But then they try to get you to buy more models. Which cost way too much for what they are.

Pfft, I don't care. THQ has always sucked. I'm perfectly happy with my PSP Slim & Lite :D

I could care less about the game, but the psp case is pretty sweet looking itself.
