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
It's a pretty nice collection of goodies; however, it also comes with a hefty ¥12,800 ($134) price tag. This Limited Edition is exclusive to the
e-Capcom store which will take pre-orders starting December 4. While Japan may enjoy their toys, North Americans and Europeans can look forward to
Resident Evil 5 on March 13.
