Rumor: William Shatner next celeb to be in PAIN

If VG247's supposed PlayStation Network calendar is to be believed, Star Trek star and Priceline.com spokesperson William Shatner will be the next celebrity offered for download in PAIN. SCEE hasn't confirmed the validity of this information, only saying "the PSN roadmap is for internal purposes" and "it's all subject to change." VG247 notes the Shatner addon will be available on March 19th.

Unless America has a huge fixation with William Shatner that I haven't heard about, I can't see this being popular at all. It actually seems a very stupid choice when so many a-list celebrities would probably be happy to lend themselves to the game. My guess would be that they just have a terribly low budget.

Oh come on! He's the shat! This is why he should be in Pain. The Hoff and Shat are both celebs everyone loves to make fun of, I think it's a great choice.

I can't think of anyone I'd like to fling upside of a building more than Captain Kirk.

Cesarcsrf @ Jan 8th 2009 6:25PM

That's awesome. As a huge Trek fan this could be the reason that pushes me over the edge to buy this game. Great news!

Chuck Norris Is Pain
Think Adrian @ Jan 9th 2009 4:56AM
in PAIN, you don't fling Chuck Norris - Chuck Norries flings you.
It's really too dangerous to make CN available in PAIN.
Aaron @ Jan 9th 2009 7:56AM
How about Paris Hilton as the next celeb on PAIN?
Khaled @ Jan 8th 2009 6:42PM
I don't get PAIN.
Packfan @ Jan 8th 2009 7:35PM
I don't get why you had to comment that you don't get PAIN. You seem to do it in every PAIN thread.
As a side note, day one pruchase!
Philip @ Jan 8th 2009 8:55PM
Really??? what if i break your arm, would you feel pain
Khaled @ Jan 9th 2009 12:41AM
Packfan, I do not, this is my first comment on PAIN.
I bought the game and I don't understand what to do, that's what I meant.

Don't put Shatner in PAIN, he's a nice guy! He held the door open for me when I was going to my orthodontists a a couple of years ago lol.
Put Soulja Boy in PAIN, I would love to toss that loser around...
Phear @ Jan 8th 2009 8:16PM
Just checked the Pain Blog on this, Jason Coker says this is 100% False
linebeginstoblur @ Jan 8th 2009 10:25PM
I'm iffy about the Hasselhoff character (or any more PAIN DLC for a while to be honest), but I would definitely buy a Shatner character.
Deadpool @ Jan 8th 2009 9:53PM
Now Shatner can boldly go where no man has gone befo.....wait............the Hoff was there first?
Nevermind. :/
Luigi193 @ Jan 8th 2009 10:38PM
I believe you guys meant "The Lovely William Shatner"
Yosemite Jam @ Jan 9th 2009 3:47AM
If they really want to make some money off of this game, they'd offer Bush, Sanjaya, Bono, Bin Laden and.. wait for it... Bill Gates.
jvoles @ Jan 9th 2009 8:47AM
100% False, according to Pain blog.
