Resident Evil 5 Collector’s Editions Around The World

By Spencer . February 19, 2009 . 10:45am

In less than a month Capcom’s next mega release will be in stores worldwide. A hotly anticipated game like Resident Evil 5 is bound to have a limited edition version, but this game is a special case. Capcom has no less than five Resident Evil 5 limited edition bundles. Each version comes with different stuff and is sold for a different price.

Let’s take a look at the packages starting with what we’re getting here.

North America and Australia – Chris Redfield figure, BSAA Patch, Kijuju necklace, Tricell messenger bag, bonus disc with making of movie/digital art gallery, and Resident Evil 5 in a steelbook case for $89.99. If you pre-order at GameCrazy you get a bonus sand globe. Australia gets the same bundle for $169.95 AUD ($110).

Europe – Bonus disc with making-of movie and Resident Evil 5 in a steelbook case for £49.99 ($71.50)

Japan – BSAA waist pouch, art book, Anti-Virus vaccine 2GB flash drive, and of course Resident Evil 5. The PlayStation 3 version comes on a hybrid game/movie Blu-ray disc with the making-of feature. The Xbox 360 release is bundled with the soundtrack. Both cost 12,800 yen ($136).

Korea – Resident Evil Degeneration movie, soundtrack CD, art book, and Resident Evil 5 in regular packaging. Price has not been announced.

Hong Kong – Making of game DVDs, bloody chainsaw 2GB USB flash drive, and Resident Evil 5 with a reversible cover (Biohazard or Resident Evil 5) for $498 HKD ($64).

The chainsaw USB drive is about the size of a credit card. You pull off the blade and plug it into your PC to use it.

Which one do you covet? ~~Who has it the worst?~~ Sorry, Europe.

Any way to get just the flash drive?

Korea got it best. Artbook!!! And Degeneration as a bonus is pretty cool too.

Definitely. I'd much rather have a soundtrack and artbook than a bag and a necklace of Africa :(

Korea got the best one followed by Japan.

My favorite is the Jpn version w/ the Tricell flash drive. The US Tricell messenger bag is cool, but I don't like the Kijuju steel case, very unsettling.

As far a nic-knacks go, the U.S. has a healthy set. Korea has the core set, but I really like Hong Kong's set, if just for the chainsaw.

Wow Europe got owned again!

CARBONDOG

Yeah, Europe definitely got the shaft.

I like the Korean CE the most for having a soundtrack and an artbook, the only significant setback I see with it would be that people who already own Degeneration would be stuck with another copy. I also find the Hong Kong CE to be very interesting, I personally like its flash drive much more than the Japanese one, and I wonder just what more they have on those 3 "making of" DVDs.

Oddly, it looks like the Korean CE would have been the one better off with a reversible cover considering it's Biohazard 5 coupled with Resident Evil Degeneration.
