Resident Evil 5 CE unveiled: $90 for figurine, bag and Kijuju

by Ross Miller { Jan 16th 2009 at 1:22PM }

Now that you've already seen our Steel Book unboxing (and if not, click here to be amazed), Capcom has revealed what else you'll be getting with the North American Resident Evil 5 Limited Edition set. For $90, you'll find yourself the proud owner of a Chris Redfield figurine (no pump-action grip, unfortunately), a Tricell messenger bag (the latest trend, it seems), a BSAA patch, a bonus disc, a Kijuju necklace, and of course, the game itself. Let us know if you'll be shelling out the extra $30 for this collection when it releases on March 13, 2009.

This game must be at least 100 times better than Killzone 2 because it has a Collector's Edition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tiptup300 @ Jan 16th 2009 2:03PM

Oh my god, that's a five! And it's shiny.

copa @ Jan 16th 2009 1:29PM

It's no working. I still can't get the picture of fat PC guy out of my head.

player66 @ Jan 16th 2009 1:31PM

Tell me about it!!! I've tried washing my eyes with soap, lysol and finally steel wool but that horrible image just won't leave. Thanks Justin! Another Friday made whole. Please fire JM.

Dr Jeckyl and Mr ESC. @ Jan 16th 2009 1:35PM

The solution is simple: Just go to /b/ and that image will be all gone…because it will be replaced by something far worse.

Anam @ Jan 16th 2009 1:38PM

I think you can hear Justin giggling somewhere...

jumpshot @ Jan 16th 2009 3:46PM

How can you know what I hear? Get out of my head!

Desert Eagle @ Jan 16th 2009 3:47PM

Well copa, be grateful that it's not Brian Ashcraft. I've seen that guy post much worse stuff than Mr. Justin.

I still can't get that horrid "real life Haruhi Suzumiya" picture out of my head. ;_;

Jawmuncher @ Jan 16th 2009 1:29PM

Already paid this CE off

Erik Stroud @ Jan 16th 2009 2:16PM

I will pre order mine today probably. Can't wait any longer.

fabian @ Jan 16th 2009 1:29PM

Personally I really dont think I will unless there is a different set up for the xbox but right now its really not work it.

player66 @ Jan 16th 2009 1:29PM

Naw.

LordChimp @ Jan 16th 2009 1:29PM

Seems like one of the better collectors editions out there. Looks as if it is better than Fallout 3's CE. At least video game CE versions are getting slightly better than just getting some extra videos and art gallery's.

Anam @ Jan 16th 2009 1:30PM

Wow. It seems like it's been years since I've heard anything about Resident Evil 5. Is it coming to the 360 or will I have to buy the PS3 copy "for my sister"?

Marty @ Jan 16th 2009 1:37PM

It's coming out on 360 and PS3, so you can do both.

Anam @ Jan 16th 2009 1:38PM

Sweet. I love my 360.

lantus @ Jan 16th 2009 1:33PM

That's hot, I would probably get it for the case alone, but those are some nice additions, definitely getting it now.

Duke @ Jan 16th 2009 1:34PM

Nice looking CE, but I think I have to pass. I can't justify paying that much for the game.

Marty @ Jan 16th 2009 1:36PM

I don't ever buy them, but some of the stuff they've been putting in these Collector's Edition releases are admittedly pretty cool. I can't help but think that it might be a good idea for one of these games to come with a CE Shelving Unit, so you have a place to put all your CE junk, though.

Actually, it would have probably been a good addition to the Fallout CE, since half the game is searching through stuff sitting on shelves, hehe. I love the game, but it's true.

Deck @ Jan 16th 2009 1:40PM

"since half the game is searching through stuff sitting on shelves, hehe. I love the game, but it's true."

Haha. I never thought of it like that but you are SO right. I love it as well but so much of it is sifting through things on shelves in burned out buildings. Good observation!

Dr Jeckyl and Mr ESC. @ Jan 16th 2009 1:37PM

If it gets here I might get it.The prices for videogames here are so insane I might as well buy the CE.

umm....hello??? @ Jan 16th 2009 1:59PM

or you could have patience and wait. I paid $130 for Halo3 ultimate edition, and for xmas sales this year it was only $50-60--excess inventory still on the shelf.

Zoinks @ Jan 16th 2009 2:29PM

It was $60 a year ago. I remember because I bought two in the middle of December 2007. First WalMart online had the legendary edition for $60 and then a few days later Amazon had it for the same price.

I ended up getting one for me and one for a friend. The helmet is nice but not $120 nice.

Shagittarius @ Jan 16th 2009 1:37PM

I don't care for the messenger bag. Usually when they include items like that (or a safety deposit box) I don't end up getting the CE.

I like simple pleasures, like butter in my ass, lollipops in my mouth. That's just me. That's just something that I enjoy.

Marty @ Jan 16th 2009 1:39PM

You can do all that stuff with a safety deposit box... just add a little butter and you're good to go.

dark_inchworm (on Steam!) dark inchworm (on XBL!) @ Jan 16th 2009 1:40PM

YES

ChooChooCharlie @ Jan 16th 2009 1:42PM

I had never bought a Collector's Edition of anything before Fallout 3. Ever.

But this is damn tempting.

PSN: Aggie_CEO @ Jan 16th 2009 1:46PM

damn........Collectors editions of games are getting more and more tempting.......

Shagittarius @ Jan 16th 2009 1:46PM

Why is the necklace a melted Sega Genesis controller? What is its significance?

ChooChooCharlie @ Jan 16th 2009 1:52PM

It came from Kijuju?

Mike @ Jan 16th 2009 1:53PM

First, the question must be answered: Why did Sega make it's Genesis controllers out of melted Africas?

Anam @ Jan 16th 2009 1:59PM

Because human evolution began in Africa, thus "Genesis" controllers are modeled in the shape of Africa.

...or something to that effect.

Marty @ Jan 16th 2009 2:32PM

I always thought it looked more like a croissant.

baby sea tuna @ Jan 16th 2009 2:44PM

A Fertile Croissant?

Vcize @ Jan 16th 2009 2:00PM

Steelbook!

Wish I could just get it with that and none of the other stuff for $70.

j.howlett @ Jan 16th 2009 2:05PM

i like the necklace, it even has madagascar

x0rn @ Jan 16th 2009 2:07PM

Wait, you get all that gear for $90 and they give you a free video game?!?! I'm in!!

Guibs @ Jan 16th 2009 2:08PM

Damn it. I'm a sucker at collector's edition and this ones looks nice. Guess I'll have to buy it. Wonder if it will be available in Canada.

aj @ Jan 17th 2009 4:57AM

It will be available in Canada, but EB will charge 180$ because EB Canada has a new "fuck you" policy.

Derek @ Jan 16th 2009 2:10PM

Looks awesome. Need a new bag anyway.

Farseer (GDI) @ Jan 16th 2009 2:11PM

Look at all that stuff! I think that we can take this as confirmation that RE5 will suck. Focusing on this CE junk will keep them from making it a masterpiece.

Anam @ Jan 16th 2009 2:15PM

Yes, because I'm sure each of the messenger bags are hand-crafted by the programmers who would otherwise be working on the game.

Farseer (GDI) @ Jan 16th 2009 2:19PM

Shit. Sorry. Obscure sarcasm is obscure without a link:

Anam @ Jan 16th 2009 2:29PM

That was pretty obscure.

Farseer (GDI) @ Jan 16th 2009 2:36PM

I guess my point is that everyone knows Capcom will hit a home run with RE5, and they have a corpulent CE as well. I just find it funny that another dev thinks that CE = a game-quality hindrance.
