PIRATES HIJACK SHIPMENT OF LIMITED EDITION RAIHO PLUSHIES; RARE COLLECTIBLES FEARED LOST AT SEA
Atlus does not negotiate with pirates
IRVINE, CALIFORNIA -- APRIL 1, 2009 -- Atlus U.S.A., Inc. today announced that the sole shipment of Raiho plushies, the very rare and highly irresistible bonus set to be bundled with each and every launch copy of the upcoming
Shin Megami Tensei®: Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon™ for PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, has been hijacked by a roving pirate frigate. A video of the captive stuffed toys has also surfaced, emphasizing the seriousness of the matter.
"Today is a somber day for Atlus," began Aram Jabbari, Manager of PR and Sales for Atlus. "Nearly 4.6 tons of Raiho, our ultra-collectible bonus for
Devil Summoner 2, have been plush-napped. The pirates responsible have made a list of demands and offered numerous overt threats as to the safety of the Raihos. While it pains us gravely, and it no doubt disappoints the fans, we remain strong in our resolve and maintain our corporate policy: Atlus does not negotiate with sea pirates. Let us think of the plushies as they were... cute, stuffed, and delightful."
