Japan gets earlier Resident Evil 5 date, Limited Edition
Resident Evil 5 is coming to Japan earlier than its previously-slated release date of March 12 -- it's arriving there a week early on March 5. But hey, that's not the end to the perks of living in Japan, they're also getting a really hardcore Limited Edition set. The following is a list of included items in Japan's Limited Edition:
- A 2GB USB drive modeled after the TRICELL vaccine as seen in RE5
- A 32-page hardcover art book
- A BSAA carrying pack, as worn by Chris Redfield

What a waste of money, you'd have to be either really really pathetic or a complete dumb ass to buy that.

Or really like Resident Evil 5? No need to be a douchebag about it dude.

Any word on the demo being a Xbox exclusive...such are the rumblings...
Majed Athab @ Nov 27th 2008 12:40AM
It is certainly not exclusive. NA demos will be coming way after the Japanese ones, and for both systems.
Kspraydad @ Nov 27th 2008 12:50AM
Sorry...I was a bit unclear..the rumor du jour is that in Japan the Xbox is getting the demo exlsively ala Tomb Raider.

capcom loves the ps3 more. they even have a store within the playstation store. the demo should be coming to the ps3 also or maybe earlier then 360.

nah. even on the 360 fanboy website it said that. they were just talking about the demo and how it was announced for xbox and then confirmed for both.
lorddshadow2 @ Nov 28th 2008 5:32PM
oh why did you have to bring that up?! my heart is hurting now.
lorddshadow2 @ Nov 27th 2008 1:01AM
thats actually kind of cool. if the flash drive was bigger...

IF you buy this you are stupid. The game is great but this is just to make Japanese developers a bit more rich... Do not fall into this trap. If you do, i will follow you to the end of the world.

That's really quite romantic of you.

whats the bets the flash drive will be taken out by its release date.. like they are taken out of every special edition...
Ferdasyn @ Nov 27th 2008 4:33AM
I have loads of 2Gb flash drives, this is probably overpriced. If it was bigger it'd be great to have, but 2Gb doesn't go very far.

I hope there is a NA version of that LE! It looks amazing!
Light @ Nov 27th 2008 3:27PM
