Turn Home into Helghan by preordering Killzone 2 photo

At least, if you preorder through Amazon. The online retailer has partnered with Sony to offer downloadable Killzone costumes for PlayStation Home. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

With costume parts for the head, torso, legs, hands and feet, the preorder code will allow you to dress up your Home avatar to look like either an ISA soldier or a Helghast assault trooper. You can also mix the pieces up with others, so I expect to see a lot of Helghast with boobs when the game and codes ship in February. 

I'm personally pretty excited for Killzone 2, despite finding the original rather mediocre. Hopefully the hype won't murder the sequel like it did the last game, and the PS3 will get a really excellent shooter. 

Helghast won't make Home any better though.

Well, I guess it's technically free. So it has that going for it, which is nice.

This is a better initiative than charging you 250 moon dollars for a background that features a game you already paid £40 for.

Yeah, it's not gonna get me to pre-order the game, but it's nice for those who were, I guess.

Oh it certainly is. But man, I'd have taken an exclusive theme over this. I fucking love PS3's themes. Especially since they're free and are actual THEMES, not shitty wallpapers like the 360 has.

@jim sterling
you can make your own themes pretty easily- I haven't tried this one yet, but it looks pretty sweet

, I have mostly used the older ones that don't give the nice icon display this one does. Since I am another casualty of the economy and getting laid off @ the end of the month, maybe I'll make one for you

i love themes too but just don't get them anymore because switching in and out of linux causes the default theme to pop back up almost every time. dammit.

God I hope hype doesnt murder Killzone 2. Killzone two officially got murdered when they dubbed it the "Halo killer".

I already pre-ordered the game because I am such a fan of the first one. I just hope its as good if not better than the first.

@SephirothX

I agree.

I'm already rocking a Killzone theme. I'm just saying, I'd rock another one before I'd want shitty Home accessories.
