CES 2009: Behold the Resident Evil 5 Collectors Edition box

by Justin McElroy { Jan 9th 2009 at 12:30AM }

You probably don't need more explanation than in the headline, but here it is: Resident Evil 5. Collector's Edition. Box. Behold! We actually have a few of these to give away, but we're not really sure we're going to go through all the effort. It is, after all, a box. A bitching box, yes. But, you know, a box.

Extinction @ Jan 10th 2009 3:50PM

Ugh, no more videos with that ugly guy

Jawmuncher @ Jan 9th 2009 12:37AM

A metal case?
I'm sold

Eric @ Jan 9th 2009 12:41AM

That's it? Better be more than that for 90 bones!

Quattro @ Jan 9th 2009 12:42AM

There should be more videos with Justin doing things.

Tiptup300 @ Jan 9th 2009 1:28AM

I agree.

Ghen @ Jan 9th 2009 8:11AM

Absolutely. :D

Levi @ Jan 9th 2009 8:57AM

Matt @ Jan 9th 2009 10:26AM

That's web 3.0

Misfit Toy @ Jan 16th 2009 3:09PM

Thanks for bringing in Web 3.0 with class...

EMaster @ Jan 9th 2009 12:44AM

Justin, you look like the guy in higschool that distributed VHS porn and said "Yo check out the latest movi eI got? Oh yeah It's Taboo 2 oh yeah some Kay Parker action for ya... oh that's hawt look at that!"

ROFL sorry Justin, I had to make that refference. Loosk good though.. I definitley want to try that game when it comes out although I am not a RE fan... but I shall give it a whirl!

zuburi @ Jan 9th 2009 3:39AM

Brodo @ Jan 9th 2009 12:45AM

Is this like the standard for Microsoft now? Gears of 2 had the same collectors edition box as well, but with some BITCHIN lancer art on it. Anyways, why don't you guys throw one of those bad boys my way when the game comes out, since I'm pretty much poor after all the games that came out in the past couple of months. :/

zombienutz @ Jan 9th 2009 12:54AM

This is why Joystiq.com is my number one choice in videogame news! Justin, thank you.

Benjamin Gilbert @ Jan 9th 2009 12:55AM

There ya go! That's the kind of CES coverage we need. (No sarcasm, legitimately fantastic.) PS3 or 360?

Lekko @ Jan 9th 2009 1:25AM

TWO discs... think about it.

Benjamin Gilbert @ Jan 9th 2009 1:33AM

Collector's Edition. Haaaate you.

Lekko @ Jan 9th 2009 2:02AM

Actually, it's probably either version since they always have a making of disc separate regardless of format. Besides, when have you ever seen format-specific special edition cases?

Besides, saves on manufacturing if you only have one kind of special case to make.

Benjamin Gilbert @ Jan 9th 2009 2:05AM

So are you passive aggressively saying I'm right? I think you are. ;)

Quattro @ Jan 9th 2009 7:36AM

I don't know what the other dis is so I'm probably wrong, but if it was the games OST, then it would most likely be on a separate disc like with MGS4 limited addition. So although it most likely is the 360 version, I wouldn't jump to conclusions.

xFenixKnightx (In Memory of Ben Carmine RIP) @ Jan 9th 2009 12:56AM

Man, just thinking about taking that bad boy home and opening up that metal case gives me a huge geek boner.

Excuse me...

Little Big PSN ID: johnnynumber5 @ Jan 9th 2009 2:00AM

The demo didn't sell me for day 1 purchase. I will be to busy playing my backlog & Killzone 2.

Courtney @ Jan 9th 2009 1:07AM

After reading the headline, and the post, and watching the video, I'm just not sure I understand. This is, just a box? Justin, can you clarify, so we all understand.

Justin McElroy @ Jan 9th 2009 3:17AM

It's like ... a box.

Courtney @ Jan 9th 2009 11:51AM

So you would say it's a container of some sort then, a receptacle if you wish to use that kind of terminology.

:P

By the way, this is good stuff, I agree with the above comment of more videos of you doing things.

Alvin @ Jan 9th 2009 1:09AM

what?
90 dollars for that?
it's only a metal case and a possible movie...
they should atleast throw in a little toy or something, like the Fallout 3 Collectors Edition.
well, I'm KINDA sold on it, i just want to know what the other disc is

VaultICEE @ Jan 9th 2009 1:10AM

Oh Justin. Only you.

PersonOfSorts @ Jan 9th 2009 1:18AM

I wanna be inside McElroy's box.

Yeah, I said it.

Tiptup300 @ Jan 9th 2009 1:30AM

If it's anywhere near as good as you are irritating, I'm sure it will definitely be a great game.

Shmil @ Jan 9th 2009 1:31AM

GTFO yasser

Little Big PSN ID: johnnynumber5 @ Jan 9th 2009 1:58AM

Someone needs to do some pushups & pilates.

Justin McElroy @ Jan 9th 2009 3:20AM

Yeah, you know, I was going to go the gym, but I had to fly to Las Vegas and play video games that aren't out yet and get paid for it.

But hey, you've probably got to get back to washing dishes at Bob Evans, so I'll let you ... you know, get back to it.

baby sea tuna @ Jan 9th 2009 7:45AM

Aw snap!

Sancho @ Jan 9th 2009 8:01AM

yeah, he should bathe sometime too... you could fry a chicken with the grease on his head, idk maybe he has a glandular problem and just sweats profusely, or or he just got done jerking off to that case... only he knows i guess

fffunfarm06 @ Jan 9th 2009 9:23AM

am i the only one who knows how cool you are and that these kinds of should imediately off themselves for saying shit like that? i love you justin. people listen to the fuckin podcast and join the facebook group! except you johnny. except you.

xFenixKnightx (In Memory of Ben Carmine RIP) @ Jan 9th 2009 10:15AM

J-Mac Defense Force...ASSEMBLE!!!!

Justin is AWESOME! How awesome? TOO AWESOME, BITCHES! It's also rumored that he stopped going to school because...well, he was too cool for it. :D

Josh @ Jan 9th 2009 11:36AM

Guys, there's no need to defend him.

1) He already did it.

2) Uh, he's Justin.

Jerk Face @ Jan 9th 2009 2:22PM

Justin, had I the power, I would award you the Justin T. McElroy Memorial Burn of the Day Award for that.

lord zolkar @ Jan 9th 2009 2:07AM

Dude that is sick, if I don't win this I will pre-order the collectors edition from Gamestop from gamestop.

REVKI @ Jan 9th 2009 2:10AM

Oh god, want so hard.

Derick @ Jan 9th 2009 3:48AM

My vote is in for more Justin-Doing-Stuff Videos.

His voice on the podcast once a week isn't enough.

mongoos32 @ Jan 9th 2009 6:02AM

I concur. This year should be all about video blogging! Get to it Joystiq!

Quattro @ Jan 9th 2009 7:38AM

There should be a separate Justin blog.

Coltrane @ Jan 9th 2009 7:17AM

creepy guy...

Metal Gear!? @ Jan 9th 2009 7:46AM

That is one f****** ugly a** nerd right there. Judging by his comments, he's not only is he a f****** ugly a** nerd, but he's also a dick. Didn't watch whole video because my PS3's browser froze my system, but it doesn't seem very cool to me. It looks like they just scribbled on the front instead of putting a design that looks like it took some thought. I'm not a RE fan anyway, so what the hell does it matter to me(rhetorical)? I bought RE4 a year or more back, just recently went to solidly play it about a month ago and stopped after the end of the first chapter(after the mayor fight). I reallyfind RE4 to be highly overrated. It's still "fun", but the controls are colossaly stupid. I had quite a bit more fun with the demo for RE5.
