Resident Evil Degeneration Infecting DVD, Blu-Ray, And UMD Players

Most studios, even Sony Pictures, have given up on releasing UMD movies. This already makes Resident Evil Degeneration unique because Sony will release a slightly cheaper UMD version in Japan on December 17. Resident Evil Degeneration on UMD goes for 3,990 yen ($40) while the collector’s edition DVD runs for 4,980 yen ($51).

You know what else Resident Evil Degeneration has? Two language tracks: English and Japanese. Even in Japan Resident Evil games usually have English voice acting so if you want to hear Leon speak Japanese here you go. Collectors might also want to look out for the limited edition Blu-ray box set with the figure above. It’s limited to 5,000 pieces and usually goes for 12,800 yen ($129). Since the Americas and Japan are in the same Blu-ray region the Japanese release will play on a US PlayStation 3 without any fussing around.

I hope the US Blu-Ray would also include the Japanese track, like Advent Children, since they go for much cheaper, around $25 on Amazon now.

Despite the CG lip syncing to English, Spirits Within has better voice-acting in Jpn; Koyama Rikiya and Toda Keiko (Gundam's Matilda) are better than Alec Baldwin and Ming Na.

I wonder if I should rent this first though, hope it turns out to be good.
