Wasn’t the Umbrella logo a complete hexagon made up with triangles? It’s probably Wesker’s new company (if he even has one at this point, I forget).

But something doesn’t seem right with this LE system. The colors are not contrasted enough between each other. Though, in a way it does look pretty nice in its subtlety. Bundling the normal edition of the game reminds me of what I had to do with my MGS4 80GB Bundle & LE MGS4 package (ie get them both).

@Douglas: I initially thought it might be something Umbrella related, but that doesn’t look like their old logo…or even very much like an umbrella. Who knows, though — maybe they got a corporate makeover for RE 5…

I think it’s the Umbrella Corpuration logo that’s on the PS3.

Biohazard has such a strong logotype that I’m surprised they didn’t just paint it in silver or something on top of the unit.

That trio of pentagons seems almost irrelevant in comparison — but I’m not familiar with the series, so maybe it’s something significant that I’ve just never seen.

Oh, there we go. I just commented in the 360 bundle post earlier today that it was weird for Sony to not have a PS3/RE5 bundle considering the Devil May Cry one worked out well.

“… but it doesn’t look nearly as good as Sega’s Rising Dragon PS3.” —
That’s your personal taste. I, as somebody, who likes decent style, definitively prefer the Limited Edition Resident Evil 5 PS3.

It’s tough to decide from this pic but I think the PS3 itself needed to be a silver, or perhaps the logo should have been a different color.

The 360 bundle has a headset and soundtrack but I’d rather just have the bundle come with a 2nd controller like the PS3 one for the co-op.
