Sega Rally 2006 to have bonus riding shotgun

Sega Rally 2006 for the PlayStation 2 will be the first time a new installment in the series has debuted on a console, but it isn't leaving its arcade roots behind. To the contrary, it's bringing them along.

The latest issue of Famitsu reports that when the first shipment of Sega Rally 2006 hits stores in Japan on January 12, it will come packaged with a port of the original Sega Rally arcade game from 1995. The game will be priced at 7,140 yen (about $62), and it will contain both championship and practice modes.

Sega has also announced that it will release the GT Force Pro steering wheel controller in conjunction with Sega Rally 2006. The controller will be manufactured in limited quantities and will carry a hefty price tag of 14,800 yen ($128).
