Some non-game playing exec at Namco Bandai has decided that the gun controller that ships with Time Crisis 4 for the Playstation 3 cannot and will not be sold separately, even though there's a 2-player mode in the game. Their CSR's helpful suggestion? "You will need another copy of Time Crisis 4." It's as if the game is a license to use one gun controller—if you want more gun controllers, simply buy more licenses!
So if you gun breaks, or is stolen, or you don't want to buy a second game just for the gun... guess what?
Too bad!

In a related issue, I believe Nintendo is pulling the same stunt with Guitar Hero III for the Wii. The "Wiitar", as I have now dubbed it, is only being sold with the game.
Good marketing choice, bad PR decision.
