PlayStation Home: 'It's A Gundam!'

Ahead of Mobile Suit Gundam Senki U.C. 0081's PS3 release in Japan this September, Sony and publisher Bandai Namco Games are installing a giant Gundam RX-78 (from the original Japanese television series) in PlayStation Home's main pavilion area.

Like the real one-to-one scale Gundam statue installed in Tokyo that you've likely seen pictures of dozens of times (and if you haven't seen any yet, I've dropped some after the break), this model will tower over people and nearby structures.

The PlayStation Home version of the Mobile Suit will appear in the virtual world starting tomorrow.

So is this the Japanese PlayStation Home only? Cause I would register just to go see it.
