Bionic Commando Rearmed to tie in with magazines?

In the latest episode of Top Secret: The Bionic Commando Podcast, Ben Judd discussed the impending release of Bionic Commando Rearmed.

Whether it's June or ends up being pushed back to July is unknown, it's all up to Microsoft at this point, and their XBLA summer is quite full as it is. He mentioned that it's a little difficult to get the releases set up for all 3 platforms to release at the same time, along with the in game commerce (ie; buy via demo).

A little extra quip that popped up is this nugget:
... we are going to tie-in in some other secrets into it, there are going to be some more tie-ins with magazines in the future...
What could it possible mean? Could be nothing more than a reprinting of the Bionic Commando comic book currently on the site - or perhaps there will be some secret code that unlocks some extra goodies, a code you can only get in a magazine?

All speculation of course, but it's fascinating to see that Capcom are taking great lengths to promote Bionic Commando Rearmed in many forms of media, and for a $10 download does not happen at all. Good on them.
