New CG Resident Evil flick also releasing on UMD
If you read PS3 Fanboy (and we suggest you should; we're big fans of those boys), you might have heard about the direct-to-home-video and full CG movie, Resident Evil: Degeneration. We knew previously that this zombie flick that reunites RE2's Claire and Leon would be getting a release on DVD and Blu-ray, but are only finding out now (via Siliconera) that the title will also be out on UMD.The UMD version, thus far, will be available in Japan for ¥3,990 ($40.34) on December 17. The film will be brought over to North America, but it's not certain if the UMD release will make it over as well.

$40 For a UMD Movie?!
Sorry, gonna have to call BULLSHIT.

it's probably going to be cheaper if it comes here. You know Japan's prices are always higher -- don't forget the added VAT. Still, yeah, much agreed. $40 is too much.

wow, a movie for $40. Even in Japan it sounds too much.

In Japan EVERYTHING's expensive. Hotels, mags, games, even food. It's a pretty harsh place for the average tourist :S

LOl - and companies wonder aloud why people torrent. Well, $40.00 for a direct to video movie would be one good guess.

38$ without tax, but it's expensive for a UMD in Japan. Lot of titles are around 20$.
I guess the Resident Evil's name is for something...
