With all the hype building up for the upcoming releases this year Capcom decided that it was time to give fans what they really wanted out of a special edition and it’s only for a low low price of $1,300 dollars! What would cost $1,300 though? A full sized replica of a resident evil zombie? A life time supply of green herbs? No neither of those, what you get is a leather jacket and some phone cases. Yup, that’s right if you decide to buy the special edition of Resident Evil 6, which is only going to be sold in Japan, you get a replica of Leon’s jacket and four phone cases with the characters too. Don’t worry of course you will get the game, where else do you think the rest of your $1,100 dollars are going? It seems really overpriced if you ask me, comparing to the special editions of games like Skyrim or Uncharted where the price never went anywhere near hitting the four digits and they were nice special editions too! That jacket better stop bullets! Or save me from a zombie apocalypse!
HAH! Yep, we did a segment on this shower in the podcast. I said it had to come with *Leon* for it to be worth my money 😉
Haha, I’m sure that would prove quite popular with female gamers 😉
I did laugh at a comment on another site which basically said that soon we’ll be seeing game companies bundling real cars with racing games to ‘give that authentic experience’ for just £220,000. All these these special editions mostly just seem ludicrous!
So, a little side note from here in Asia… The special addition replica jacket that the game comes with, is actually made by a huge well known leather company in Japan. The jacket itself is worth about $1,200.
