All those poor, damaged facehuggers are getting "fixed" by SEGA

It's a sad day when we care enough about facehuggers to "heal" them.  You'd think we'd be better off with less of the creatures on our home planet.  At any rate, a small amount of facehuggers in the Aliens vs. Predator Hunter Edition Packs (PS3 & Xbox 360) have damaged tails.  It's enough of a problem that SEGA is stepping up and offering to remedy the situation. 

If your pet facehugger has a hurt tail, please click here and follow the instructions from SEGA. You can even call 1-800-USA-SEGA to register for a replacement.  That's right, I said replacement not rehabilitation.  If you've already bonded with your facehugger and got matching tattoos, this is not your lucky day. 

Replacements will be done at no charge but be sure to take advantage of this offer while it's available.  Maybe I should have made the title for this news posting: SEGA champions "No Facehugger Left Behind" program.  I like the sound of that. 

Isolated Instances of Facehuggers with Broken Tails in
AVP Hunter Edition Packs Discovered

SEGA has received reports that a small amount of facehuggers in Aliens vs. Predator™ Hunter Edition Packs (both PS3 and Xbox 360) are experiencing issues with damaged tails in North America. In response to these reports, SEGA of America has set up a system by which gamers that have received a facehugger with a damaged tail can obtain a replacement free of charge.

SEGA is solely responsible for replacing the damaged facehuggers. We would like to ask for gamers to NOT go to the original retailer where they purchased Aliens vs. Predator from for a replacement.

In order to make this replacement process as efficient as possible we ask that gamers go to www.sega.com/facehugger and follow the detailed instructions on the webpage or call 1-800-USA-SEGA to register themselves for a replacement facehugger. Once again there will be no charge of any kind for obtaining a replacement facehugger.

SEGA would like to apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our fans. We ask for their patience as we work quickly to replace the damaged facehuggers.
