Unlockable Bancho Ratchet is one bad mother... shut your mouth!

We're just talkin' about Ratchet. Insomniac is sending some pre-Valentine's love by giving players the unlock code for the Bancho Ratchet skin. Already hidden inside A Crack in Time, the bad boy costume can be unlocked by inputting this elaborate series of buttons and directions on the pause screen: Up, Right, Down, Left, Triangle, Square, X, Circle, R3. It's called a "cheat."

Bancho Ratchet was the winning entry in a Japan-only contest for CoroCoro Magazine. As for what a Bancho is, the best explanation we can figure is a "delinquent," especially with Ratchet's resemblance to John Travolta's character in Grease. Well, if you ignore the flippin' huge ears.

Thanks, Solace and Joystiq! A Crack in Time is such a great game and really want to make another run through it and this code sweetens the pot!

Does he come with laser-eyes?

Nope, but he has more than enough grease in that hair of his to lube up several cars, and still keep that sheen.

A bancho is not just any ol' delinquent, but the leader of a delinquent. But c'mon, who says delinquent anymore? How 'bout the leader of some street punks.

Dude, you had to "figure" a translation for "bancho"? Atlus already did the work for you right in a game title: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002M2N9OS/ Who's Bad?!
