Namco Bandai announced that it will offer a limited edition Ace Combat 6 Ace-Edge Flightstick Bundle this holiday season when the game is released on Xbox 360.
The bundle set, retailing for $149.99 will include a copy of the highly anticipated new flight action game, Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation, its newly advanced “Ace Combat Six” labeled Ace Edge flightstick peripheral from HORI, and an exclusive Ace Combat 6 collectible faceplate.
The ACE-EDGE Flightstick is the first and only flightstick for the Xbox 360. Taking advantage of Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation’s ultra-realistic and immersive flight combat experience, the unique peripheral offers an analog throttle to control speed and a layout that fully utilizes the game’s excellent pad controls. The ACE-EDGE Flightstick will give gamers the ultimate Ace Combat experience as they live the war zone feeling the intensity of being right there in the cockpit as they face the most action-packed aerial combat to date.
And for those that don’t want to or can’t afford the Flightstick, you can control the action using a standard 360 controller.
