A themed faceplate was offered as an incentive (aka premium) for gamers who pre-ordered Soulcalibur IV from certain retailers.
The first is a green faceplate featuring the little green guru himself, Yoda, who is a playable character it the Xbox 360 version of the game (Darth Vader’s in the PS3 version of the game).
