UPDATE:

Capcom store just released their preorder bonus. They are offering an Umbrella Umbrella with any RE6 purchase (appears it is also included with the Vanilla veresion); no pictures yet in the listing but I believe they are just going to be giving away this one:

http://shop.capcom.com/store/capcomu...-Umbrella.html

It can be purchased for $16.95 standalone from their website. I currently own one and while on the cheap side it is kind of cool if you are a RE fan.


Edit: ^ This is for preordering directly from the Capcom store. Amazon right now is offering DLC.

It seems like Amazon added "The High Seas Fortress" bonus to both Anthology and Archives pre-orders.

RE was always a Sony series back in the day. That's where it belongs, on the PS3.



I love the idea of the anthology set, all of the games at this point. What's it like pre-ordering from Capcom, will you get the game weeks after release?

I also wonder if there are other pre-order promos and if this set will be sold in retail.

So if I preorder the RE 6 AE collection from the capcom store, I get an umbrella, but if I order it anywhere else I get 1 map dlc? If thats the case the umbrella is a no brainer. Another question, how is capcom store store with release date? Only ask cause I know amazon is good with it, and toyrus was horrible.

Same question. I don't mind waiting til the friday after it comes out but if we're taking 1-2 weeks here not worth an umbrella to me.

I don't think I have ever used an umbrella before.

I'm going to be honest here... I've preordered multiple things from the Capcom store (Digital River) and they've always been horrible with delivery time as it regards to release day.

That being said they've gotten progressively better to the point where most people who preordered RE: ORC got it one or more days ahead of release day.

In my opinion they've also improved their overall packaging from horrendous to acceptable but inconsitent. I'm not sure how delicate this game is going to be or if it'll have a steelbook of some kind so how much this matters will depend on that.

In the past though I've ordered multiple MvC3 Special Edition's from the Capcom store when they were on clearance and each copy came with a free guide (which is heavy; ~ 3lbs) and they shipped MvC3 SE under neath the guides so that when they arrived the steelbooks were crushed. Eventually after about two months of correspondence I got a refund. I think I ordered 4 copies and two were damaged. The clearance price was $29.99 a copy (including the guide) and although I only returned the two damaged copies they refunded me the normal price ($69.99 IIRC) for all four copies so I actually made money on that but it was a long drawn out hassle.

Another bad experience was with the Dead Rising 2 High Stakes Edition where they just threw them in oversized boxes and being that it is a heavy item with lots of room to move around the product boxes came dinged up pretty bad.

But every other experience I've had has been positive including most recently with RE: ORC. I was actually pretty afraid that my steelbooks and promotional signs (both thin metal) would arrive damaged but not a single one did.

So in conclusion I think it's reasonable to assume that you may npt get the item on release day but that you should get it close to release and hopefully they will find a creative way to package both an umbrella and a game that doesn't result in either being damaged.

Do keep in mind that I believe they put a pending charge on your card at the you make the purchase. I believe they are like best buy where the charge will eventually fall off but they will ping the card every once in awhile to make sure the funds are still there.

I've actually used my umbrella umbrella and while not high quality it works. Like most lower quality umbrellas I wouldn't suggest using it in high wind gusts as it will most likely turn inside out on itself and damage the frame.

But some people like to collect gaming swag (regardless of how obscure) and would prefer something physical over a digital item

Thanks GBAstar. I was going to go with BB as my preorder spot, but with your post and the umbrella, Ill put my trust in the store. Game better be here on release date though, honestly this is my biggest title of the year and im be VERY VERY pissed if I dont have this day 1.

Thank you GBA. So this set is available at any retailer such as gamestop, which I can be guaranteed a mint copy and get a pre-order bonus as well. Since the umbrella umbrella isn't rare and can be purchased ala carte, I'd prefer to buy the set in retail.

i have had terrible luck with umbrellas since i was a kid, so dlc it is.

Amazon has it so I would assume Gamestop would. I don't expect this to be rare---in fact I though the Street Fighter anniversary collection would have a good chance at being rare with the $149.99 price tag but it appears like most all retailers are taking preorders (Bes Buy, Newegg, Amazon, etc.).

I'm not sure yet if this collection is going to be the Collector's Edition for RE6 or if something else is in the works.

I would suggest putting in a preorder though incase stores don't plan on stocking many day 1 copies beyond preorders.

anyone getting this for ps3?

Where is the PC release? =(

Another BOOO for digital copies.
I would buy the anthology for PS3 if it was all physical copies.
Also, it sucks we cannot get the RE zero and RE 1 gamecube remakesin HD for PS3/360

For any true Resident Evil fan that wants a real collector's edition for RE6, I say that the smart money is not on these Archive/Anthology (unless it is given the REmake treatment for the older games) or the ultra expensive Japanese E-Capcom edition that is making you pay over $1000 for a leather jacket. The best collector's edition version is limited to GAME in the UK. There is no other store that has this version so it will be very limited and even though the costs would be around $200 USD, this is the limited edition to get. I am getting it on both systems and not opening them as I believe these will hold their value due to the rarity of being limited to one store and being expensive at that.

I like your thinking but the last time I imported a large CE from the UK (MGS HD Collection LE) it arrived in shit condition. The box for this particular RE6 CE must be huge if it is housing a hoodie among other things so I don't have faith that it'll arrive in good enough condition for collection purposes

If I get this, I'd get it for the 360, since it comes with both 4 and 5, but also CV, which I don't have. I already have 1-3 on my PS3. I've never actually played the games, but I downloaded them from someone's account for free. I owned RE 2 when it came out, but the only person who ever played it was my brother. I beat 4 five or six times, and if 6 is anything like it, I may just buy this. Who knows....
