[Gabers]

Are green herbs included? That price seems a bit steep...

[starmask2k3]

the sad thing is the price is higher then GOW 2 LE by 20 dollars more

[Chibi_Kaji]

I could be talked into getting the RE5 CE if some good things come with it. As for the SFIV CE.... I will buy it.

[topgunner87]

Sadly, the only way that these Collector's Edition prices are going to go down is if people stop buying them. They only jack up the price, because they can.

[Ikohn4ever]

comes with your own personal parasite

[Dead of Knight]

Fuck that, unless it has something REALLY cool.

[Halo05]

If it doesn't include a shotgun I'll stick with the regular one.

[Vinny]

Dammit, I normally love these special editions but they're way overpriced and under packed. I doubt this'll be anything special other than a tin case, artbook, and a soundtrack CD.:roll:

[Purkeynator]

Remember when the Limited editions were free to the first people who bought the game? (Viva Pinata, Mechassault 2, Jade Empire) Or when they were only $5 more? (Halo 2). <Sigh> those were the days. Gaming is getting to be more and more a rich man's hobby.

I disagree with this statement. At best, special editions are going to those with more money (and are willing to spend it). You are still going to be able to get the game for $60 at launch (and less if you are willing to wait).

What is happening is a segregation of the community, which happens in most industries. No one looks at $60k car and goes driving is only for the super rich. You can still get a used car for $1,000. As long as people keep buying these, they will sell.

Personally, I'll stick to to the regular editions, a few months after release.

[GuardianE]

I still have some faith in Capcom. They generally treat their fans pretty well. This is $10 more than the DMC4 Collector's Edition and I did enjoy the perks with that one (although the bonus DVD was pretty much worthless). I'm hoping for something nice, as the Resident Evil 4 Premium Edition is one I regard very highly.

[Halo05]

Right, because cartridges were so affordable.

I agree that the rising costs of LEs is shitty but to say that videogaming is now less affordable than it used to be is simply inaccurate. The pricing structure of the PSX era (39.99 brand new releases) was the exception to the rule. Before that, cartridges pretty much started at 39.99 for "Player's Choice" titles and ran up to or above $100 for certain games (Phantasy Star IV anyone?). Since then, prices have been creeping back up but they still haven't reached SNES/Genesis era levels. It'll be interesting to see if 59.99 remains the standard next generation.

[ITDEFX]

I won't buy this unless it includes the following.

-A real making of RE5 (which includes interviews, behind the scenes footage, video of meetings, story boards, concept art and so on)

-A two disc cd soundtrack of the game

-A fold out poster

-A Chris or that other chick figure. Heck even better if it's Wesker!


But heck at the most we will get a shotty making of bonus disc with 30 minutes of video :(

bah

[micro44]

My birthday is March 4th, so maybe I'll just ask for this and not have to pay anything for it!! :)

[Kaijufan]

Unless the contents of the Collector's Edition are absolutely horrible I just wont be able to resist getting this one, and I don't usually buy Collector's Editions.

I'm hoping for figures of the two main characters, a making of DVD and a CD soundtrack.

[Chacrana]

Hopefully this isn't going to have some lame half-assed soundtrack and a tin box that'll be dented by the time you get it.

[PR Mega X]

Fuck that. $60 still feels steep for games (since RE5 is going to be day one for me), I'm not dropping an extra $30 on it.

[KingBroly]

It'll include an vile of the T-Virus.

[chubbyninja1319]

Yeah, $90 is getting up there. Must have soundtrack, some geeky replica (gun, figurine, gun shell, badge...something!), a making of DVD, exclusive gamerpics, maybe in game content, art book. all of the above to warrant that price.

[eswat]

It'll include an vile of the T-Virus.Only way they will get me to spend $90 on a CE of any game again.

I'll buy it right there, smash the vile on a clerk, watch him eat the other clerk and steal my money back. :>

[johnnypark]

Fuck that. $60 still feels steep for games (since RE5 is going to be day one for me), I'm not dropping an extra $30 on it.

QFT.

I splurged on GTA4, because it's one of the only reasons I wanted a current-gen console. RE5 is the other half or 3rd of it. Otherwise, $60 MRSP is the most absurd thing ever.

For the record, I didn't really buy new games at $50, either.

[tehweezner]

i was about to post how outrageous the price is but then i realized that of course, you don't have to buy it. for obsessed fans and collectors i'm sure this is good news

[Xevious]

comes with your own personal parasite

Parasite on your wallet...

[Nephlabobo]

Amazon sucks. There's no way anyone in their right mind would order a LE at that price.

[rabbitt]

The price may just be a "placeholder" until further details are released. There's still quite a few months until RE5 is even out.

[zman73]

Sadly, the only way that these Collector's Edition prices are going to go down is if people stop buying them. They only jack up the price, because they can.

So true... they just keep getting more and more expensive... they make the Bioshock LE seem like the deal of the century

Strategy guides have been doing the same thing 12.99... 14.99... 17.99... 19.99... and up

I loved RE4 so much Im really torn about this... but then again I just want to play it

[happy]

Hopefully they'll make so many I'll be able to get one for $30 or less when it becomes a greatest hit (assuming I buy it at all, I thought 4 was good but nothing special and I'm skeptical of the co-op crap).

[ninja dog]

Couldn't tell if you're being serious or not. Are the details listed anywhere online yet? I couldn't find it.

That about sums it up, when Halo 2 came out IGN speculated it was actually setting a bad trend by showing people were willing to pay more for special editions, so far they have been proven correct. It ballooned from there. I have only gone out of my way to get two special editions, Ace Combat 4 with Flight Sticks and Ace Combat 6 with Flight Sticks, those felt like they were worth the money.

Except that Halo 2 was only an extra five bucks and the metal case was worth it.

For me anyways.

[Zerostatic]

I'm a huge Resident Evil fan and even I am not buying that. In fact I have never purchased a Collector's edition version of a game. That crap is just going to take up space in my house and make me look even more like a dork then I already am. Hell, with those $30 extra dollars that you're spending you can buy a brand new PS3 greatest hits title.

[cochesecochese]

Couldn't tell if you're being serious or not. Are the details listed anywhere online yet? I couldn't find it.

He's being deadly serious. Capcom has officially pledged to limit these to 5000 units per region so you better get in on this if you haven't already. I already pre-ordered my copy!

Maybe it's best to spend that extra $30 on the CE, then.

[Nifty_Shark]

$90!?!? 'shoots merchant with shotgun'

[Zerostatic]

Maybe it's best to spend that extra $30 on the CE, then.You'd rather have worthless crap then Ninja Gaiden Sigma or Resistance?

[Chacrana]

Well, better that than Resistence at least.

All I can say is...look forward to 9/9/09.

I don't know what the hell your talking about but I'm getting this on March 13th.

[VAD3R or Fro]

Free P.R.L.

[-Never4ever-]

It'll include an vile of the T-Virus.

It damn well better!

[MSI Magus]

Heres the thing that really pisses me off. These collectors editions SUCK! I dont mind spending $80 on a collectors edition but I expect several decent items with them. It better come in a collectors tin or atleast cardboard case. Soundtrack is a given as is a collectors DVD but outside that I expect something like a decent sized(atleast several inches tall)figurine or a series of cool collectibles. Most of these CE are just a special box and an extra DVD tossed in which is just bull shit.

[anomynous]

Guys, if you want the prices to go down.........

Stop buying the collector's editions

[VidgamesgivemeA_D_D]

I wish it had an updated Wesker's Report. (the last one was only up until Code Veronica, as it was released with Code Veronica) Then it would be worth it.

[Zerostatic]

Well, better that than Resistence at least.I haven't played Resistance but judging from the reviews it got (9's and mid to high 8's) that doesn't make sense.

[Ecofreak]

It's nice that Amazon is giving us...seven months to save up our money.

[mykevermin]

Guys, if you want the prices to go down.........

Stop buying the collector's editions

Hey, look! The voice of reason amidst a bunch of pissing and moaning about people who aren't able to quell their willpower, yet feel compelled to bitch about the people who seem eager to exploit their financial spinelessness!

[GuardianE]

I'll hand my spine over the Capcom anyday. I've got no issues with Collector's Editions. You don't like em? Don't buy em.

[Serpentor]

I love the game, but i think i'm gonna hold off on LE, CE etc... Not enough shelf spaces and getting bored with pity extras like music CD or behind the scenes stuffs. Me just buy what i like from now on. Happy meal figures are meh meh, i rather spend extra to get a premium collectibles. Tin boxes are cool, but hell, i'm pretty sure there's a tiny market selling empty disc tin cases, where you can insert your own arts or something.

[Rozz]

Collector's Editions are way too large and expensive nowadays.

[lokizz]

maybe it comes with a cure for the T- Virus or whatever letter the virus will have in this one. and im sure theres nude codes for the ladies......or rather lady characters. in the end ill buy one once the price drops to 20 just like all the other ce of games do.

[MSI Magus]

Collector's Editions are way too large and expensive nowadays.

Expensive yes but large no. If they were large I doubt many of us would mind paying the price

[Gabers]

Games need to have a truly "Limited" edition rather than a "Collector's" edition that you can still find in stores months after the initial release.

What's the point in collecting something like that? Especially when those leftover units end up going on clearance..

FFXII was the best example of this. I was so pissed off buying its Special edition just to find that its only real extra was the case and DVD and now you can find the damn thing for liek $12.

[damian6669]

from what i was told the collectors edition is supposed to have RE 1,2,3,4, along with 5.

[gokou36]

from what i was told the collectors edition is supposed to have RE 1,2,3,4, along with 5.

From what i was told, your source is wrong. There is no way Capcom would port the game to 360 and only get $30 more for it. They would rather re-release 1 game for $30 though.

[bardockkun]

And unless it's retooled from the ground up with the RE5 engine, who the fuck wants to play RE1-3 again?

[Megalith]

Maybe it comes with a voucher for a double blowjob from Jill and Ada.

[bardockkun]

Jill is dead.

[Filler2001]

And?

[bardockkun]

For some reason I saw that reply coming a mile away....

[mykevermin]

And?

So she won't ask for the voucher.

[MarkMan]

I wonder what it includes...

*hint hint*

;)

[bardockkun]

Goddamn! Is there anything you don't know?!

[The Crotch]

Jill is dead.
That's never stopped a Resident Evil character before.

[Jesus_S_Preston]

MarkMan can see the contents of the CE, but can he see why kids love cinnamon toast crunch?

[mykevermin]

Goddamn! Is there anything you don't know?!

How to shave a teenstache.

*rimshot*

;) I kid, I kid.

[bardockkun]

That's never stopped a Resident Evil character before.
From giving blowjobs?

[rainking187]

I wonder what it includes...

*hint hint*

;)



I don't suppose you know if they'll be announcing the contents anytime soon?

[MarkMan]

Probably not soon (this month or next), they(Capcom) is still finalizing the contents. ;)

[blueweltall]

What Jill is dead? How?

[MarkMan]

What Jill is dead? How?

The TGS trailer that was shown at the Capcom booth shows her grave. :(

[Duckbutt]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CriABrEcasY&NR=1

I'm curious how this all plays out with Wesker. I can't imagine they are going to allow you to kill him off unless they are going to continually have a new face of Umbrella for every other game (which would be kind of lame, I like this franchise too much to see it's story become useless like that of a fighting game).

[GuardianE]

The TGS trailer that was shown at the Capcom booth shows her grave. :(

I've seen the trailer, but I refuse to believe it. There's no way Capcom will kill off one of it's most marketable and recognizable characters in one of their most famous franchises. Capcom characters rarely die. Besides, they showed a snippet in an earlier trailer of a female's eyes in a laboratory tank... eyes that look strangely reminiscient of Jill.

Or maybe that's just really wishful thinking.

[MarkMan]

The girl in the tank, is the same blond girl in the tank we've seen before. The one that many people speculate to be Sherry.

[GuardianE]

Bah. :cry: Stop crushing my dreams. I could've sworn her hair looked different.

In any event, if they had really killed off Jill, they wouldn't've put it at the end of the trailer. It has to be a teaser to keep people guessing and gather some media buzz. Jill might be "dead" but brought back by the virus or something.

[Duckbutt]

Bah. :cry: Stop crushing my dreams. I could've sworn her hair looked different.

That hasn't stop Capcom from altering the appearance of an established character in Resident Evil before.

I'm kind of curious if they are trying to link the movies with the games as far as this "tank girl" goes. Seriously, I'm not saying it's a good thing, or that I want it to happen (since those movies are garbage), but I'm wondering if the girl in the tank is Alice.

I hope to God not. There were instances where Resident Evil 4 poked fun at the movies (the laser trap hallway and Leon's easy escape), but no real connection otherwise. I genuinely hope it stays that way.

I just read a few things online alluding to the bird masked, cloak wearing figure to be Jill. In a brief moment where the figure is walking, you can see heels, indicating a woman. Hmm... Well, whatever they do, it won't shake my faith in Capcom... probably.

I was thinking about that after my last post. If they are going to give you an image of her tombstone at the end of a trailer, then obviously they want to tease with you how they are tying this in, and making her a villain seems like the obvious move. Whether she is alive or reanimated looks like the bigger question.

Well, looks like it's Sherry Birkin that's in the tank. (http://residentevil.wikia.com/wiki/Sherry_Birkin) Unless she is the "bird lady." I never heard about her imprisonment. I haven't played Code Veronica, so I don't if it's brought up in there, but that definitely makes the who tank scenario more understandable.

[Kaijufan]

Probably not soon (this month or next), they(Capcom) is still finalizing the contents. ;)
Based on the current contents do you think it's going to be worth $90?

[GuardianE]

In addition to the usual goodies that Capcom graces us with (Steelbook and bonus DVD) I'm thinking that there will either be a figure (I hope not) or a chainsaw controller. Some were speculating that there may be a S.T.A.R.S. badge or something, but since S.T.A.R.S. doesn't seem to be that prominent of an entity in RE5, I don't know if that makes much sense.

Maybe they'll package some Wesker shades. :)

If they had a badge, maybe it'd be BSAA or whatever they are. Wesker glasses would be cool. I'm always losing/breaking whatever pair or sunglasses I own, so it'd be useful.

[GuardianE]

I really just don't want a T-shirt. I would never wear a Video Game T-shirt unless it was clever or funny. It's just personal taste here. A figure would be alright, but I don't really have much room to showcase it or anything. Ideally, it'd be something original and something in the game. Capcom will likely throw in an Art Cell/Art Book for whatever that's worth. I'm not sure what the bonus is that makes it $90.

I'm betting the whole package will be something that fans will like. The Premium Edition of RE4 came with the standard Steelbook, DVD, and Art Cell, and that was only $10 more. I believe that RE5 is the most Capcom has charged for a Special Edition in the states. It's $10 more than the Street Fighter IV Collector's Edition and Devil May Cry 4 Collector's Edition, even.

Maybe the CE will come with Resident Evil: Degeneration. It's not so far fetched considering that DMC4 came with the first volume of the anime (MSRP of $30) and by that time Degeneration will have been out for a month and a half. Honestly, I'd rather have something original to the game or even in game content.

Degeneration wouldnt be bad and is possible. They could also do something like a fake medical spray and green herbs. The chainsaw controller idea is hella cool, I got the RE4 one already so as long as it wasnt the exact same I would be happy with that.

[GuardianE]

I'm going to be upset if Amazon doesn't get a pre-order bonus and other vendors do, though. I have it pre-order on Amazon with a price mistake + Gold Box deal and I don't want to go somewhere else just because they're getting an Artbook bonus or something. Make the bonuses universal, PLEASE.

Although I know that Gamestop will likely get an exclusive... and while I don't mind shopping at Gamestop, I know I sure as hell won't be getting a discount. I'll be paying almost $20 more if I include tax.

[LXL_Guy]

Hopefully the collector's edition is finalized soon so I could decide to get or not to get along with where.

[lokizz]

i hear there will be a mini map included in the ce versiosn of the game and when you use it you will find in a locker........michael jacksons thriller jacket!!!!!!!!! you put it on and when surrounded by zombies ( or infected) you do the right button sequence and they all break out into the thriller dance!!!!!!!!!!!! but this bonus will only be included in ce disks .


aide from adding in the classic games they should add in extra in game content to make the CE worth buying. maybe add in some kind of online multiplayer disk or extra bonus weapons ( like a chainsaw or katana or other cool weapon).

[tenzor]

I hope the CE will include something like this

-Full soundtrack
-Art book
-Wesker Report #2 DVD/Blu-Ray
-Chris and Sheva action figure or that T-virus vile usb thumb drive.

Based on the SF4 collectors edition I think Capcom is going to screw us over and make both Chris and Sheva figures, but put one of them in the PS3 CE and one of them in the 360 CE. :roll:

[62t]

we know Game Crazy will get some sort of exclusive.

[MSI Magus]

Based on the SF4 collectors edition I think Capcom is going to screw us over and make both Chris and Sheva figures, but put one of them in the PS3 CE and one of them in the 360 CE. :roll:

I would rather "get screwed" on having 2 CE with 2 seperate figures then really get screwed and have the CE be like GoW, DMC, ToV and a lot of other CE where there is no figure just a metal tin.

[DarkNessBear]

Er, I'm not really excited for RE5 anymore. After playing L4D I'm spoiled by good death animations... the death animations for the enemies in RE5 are so terrible. Could they not throw on some euphoria? And also the melee just looks so terrible (not the context sensitive stuff, the knife stuff)... come on!

Death animations won't make or break this title. I personally hate Havok death physics. I think they look awkward and unnatural. Someone doesn't become completely weightless and fall in awkward positions when collapsing. It just looks dumb.

And as for the figurine thing? I'd absolutely hate it if they put a separate figure in each version of the game. I'd rather have no figure at all. Yes, I'm going there.

[UjnHunter]

the sad thing is the price is higher then GOW 2 LE by 20 dollars more

But the GOOD thing is, it's not GOW! It's RE! ;)

[Jawmuncher]

I really hope the contents are revealed soon.
Will more than likely get it regardless, but I want to know what's in it and what if there's any promos for buying it at one place opposed to the other.

Like how you get a different preorder bonus for killzone 2 depending on where you preorder
Amazon gets a home skin
best buy (I think) a theme
Gamestop a demo

[SNAKE EYES EX]

I'll probably just get the regular edition for the 3-sizzle.

[Duckbutt]

So here is the Collector's Edition goodies:
http://www.ebgames.com/gs/images/bonus/270301_bonusLG.jpg
The Resident Evil 5 Collector's Edition comes with:

Chris Redfield Figurine
Tricell Messenger Bag
BSAA Patch
Kijuju Keychain
Bonus Disc (UK Bonus (http://kotaku.com/5132732/europes-resident-evil-5-collectors-edition-kijuju-yo) disc includes a "making of..." documentary and a trailer for RE: Degeneration, most likely the same for the US)
The game and bonus disc come packed in a Special Collector's Steel Book Case.

PLUS:
Reserve Resident Evil 5 and receive a GameStop-Exclusive art cell. Available for online and in-store customers, while supplies last.

http://www.ebgames.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?sku=270301


I should be getting a $50 gift card to GameStop from U Talk Back, when I do get it, I'll be putting it toward this package.

[Gameboy415]

Looks sweet!

[blueweltall]

Damn that's $30 worth of crap!

[wbc1228]

That is it for the CE?????
I think I'll save $30 and get the regular edition instead.

[62t]

I am going to buy a second set to flip.

[blueweltall]

If you guys need an extra purse gamestop is also selling one for $49.99

http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=73742

[lokizz]

maybe theres weed in the bag.......

[jer7583]

Erm, unless the steelbook is the kewlest thing ever.. I dunno.

Could be good to resell - Resident Evil fans are NUTS. These are the people who were paying $80-100 for the GameCube RE2/3/Code Veronica ports which literally had NOTHING new added from the PS1 or PS2 versions.

[GuardianE]

I don't think it's a bad CE, especially depending on how the bag is. I was just expecting more. And I was looking forward to getting a USB drive.

[captainfrizo]

That wouldn't be too bad of a CE at all, if it were $70.

$90? Not so much.

[MattJ1991]

Yeah, I think i'll stick with the normal edition.
A messenger bag I wont use and a lame toy isn't worth 30 bucks to me.
But the SFIV Special edition is completely worth it, an art book, bluray movie and a good toy are totally worth 20 bones.

[FurryCurry]

I'm getting it because I am a tool. Period. Now then, what's the Game Crazy preorder bonus.

[Sharp Katana]

damn $90. Normally I like collecting LEs for games I like but honestly nothing included in this LE appeals to me. I'll probably skip this one and buy the regular edition.

[mykevermin]

Huh. Some collector's edition.

I'm still planning on buying it from one of y'all for $30-35 shipped 3-4 weeks after it releases and you've beaten the hell out of it.

[007]

I have to echo the sentiment that it's not a bad CE, but it's certainly not worth $90. Also, I hate hate hate hate hate CE games that DON'T come with a regular case. Maybe the RE5 one is inside the steelbook... if not, no green case = no sale for me.

What's wrong with steel book? I actually prefer the CEs to have it over the regular green cases.

And I doubt this CE will come with an additional green case. If it's anything like the DMC4 CE, both discs will be inside the steelbook.

[Kaijufan]

I was planning on getting this CE, but the only thing I want in it is the figurine. I may pass on it and just get the regular edition.

lol cold but true and a damn good idea.

probably the same people who dont want PH games that will be out of place for their collection.

[GuardianE]

I'm the same way about Platinum Hits because they look cheap, generic, and crappy, but Steelbooks look so sexy on my shelf. I really just wish all my games were Steelbooks.

[Filler2001]

Honestly, I think its a great Ce. Im looking very forward to buying it

Depends... the 'slim' steelbooks (like the recent Quantum of Solace CE) are fine. I don't like the HUGE ones that don't really serve a purpose (Mass Effect CE and Saint's Row 2 CE spring to mind). It's not that I want them to stop making steelbooks, it's just that I'd rather have a choice for display purposes. A lot of it is a room issue... would I rather have one regular DVD size case, or a steelbook that takes up the space of almost three regular cases?

Also, not as big of a deal... most of the larger steelbooks don't have the name printed on the steel case, but on huge paper cover that gets easily damaged.

Steelbooks are nifty, but I avoid the large ones if possible. Me, I don't understand why they can't just always through a normal case in there, too (like Saint's Row 2). Easy.

[Puffa469]

I'm in.

RE4 was one of my fav games ever. Plus I love chotchkies.

[bardockkun]

A Man purse and a medallion of Africa...

Which will be the first thing to get your ass beat on the street if people were to see you wearing those?

Technically, the large ones aren't Steelbooks. They're Tin Cases(although not really made of tin, obviously). Steelbooks are a specific brand/company... the slim ones you're talking about. Google it and see for yourself.

Huh... you know, I probably should have realized that at some point. Both get bandied around so much that I never realized.

Ok, then, I amend my statement: I hate TIN CASES that don't have a regular green case inside them. :lol: Steelbooks are a-okay.

[sendme]

I have to say this one I think I will sit out on. I will just get the normal edition. A steelbook with a making of DVD and some extra content would be nice. However this is all just crap and more crap that I dont' have a place to put or even want.

[Mospeada_21]

disappointed at content......just meh.

[add Regular Edition to Target clearance.]
