Any diehard RE fans going to snag this?

Any diehard RE fans going to snag this?
Nah, us diehard fans already have the GC version.

[Xerxes]

Ok if you already shitted on the gamecube deal, and you already have RE5 for ps3 and xbox 360, why not port it on to xbox as well instead of just ps2?

[Evil Avatar]

Seems expensive for just a game + soundtrack + action figure + t-shirt.

[Chagrinful]

yup that is pricey! Everyone on earth that would want it probably has it already though.

[DaXIthR]

I don't have much in the way of action figures from video games -- apart from ym 8-inch Samus bobblehead, which is actually more of a bobble torso. Such things generally don't appeal to me.

I love the jacket Leon wears, though. I guess this was the best opportunity of Capcom ever deciding to sell one of those beauties, and they messed it up.

I would have dropped big cash on it. They could have even embroidered on some cool shit on it - like a Biohazard or Resident Evil logo, or a STARS logo on the sleeve.

Oh well.

As it is, this does not interest me at all. With hindsight, I REALLY loved the GC title and probably would have paid $100 for it if I knew how great it was before I bought it.

[sonysyndicate]

Ouch! $120 for a $50 game and some game music?

Oh and I almost forgot to include the $10 aciton figure and a $5 shirt.

[Heretic Machine]

Already own the GC version... and even if I didn't, wouldn't the better investment be a $60 used Gamecube and a copy of RE4?

[emperordahc]

My GC copy works just fine.

[FunkyPoopMonkey]

The Biohazard Sound Chronicle in Japan also included Biohazard 1 (Gamecube Version)'s soundtrack CD. Why is it not included here? I wonder if it has to do with the fact that that was the only disc of the bunch that sounded like shit. Every track had background hissing. Makes me wonder if Capcom forgot to keep uncompressed digital backups of that game's music, and resorted to cheaply recording it from the game itself.

[Royal Fool]

I'll just wait for the soundtrack torrents.

[Mr.Green]

and a Resident Evil 4 T-shirt (size XL)
This always cracks me up.

[FunkyPoopMonkey]

I'll just wait for the soundtrack torrents.
They've been out there dude.

[KarmaGhost]

This always cracks me up.Me too. It's as if they don't expect you to actually wear the shirt.

[Mr.Green]

Me too. It's as if they don't expect you to actually wear the shirt.
I'm affraid it's more that our kind don't usually come in regular size my friend.

[Grimgrock]

What are you trying to say Mr. Green? :)

...Well I was going to include a picture of Jeff Albertson but it seems I don't have permission to post attachments.

[Worldcrafter]

It does seem our kind tend to be quite skinny, or quite large. I'm definitely one of the skinny, so an XL t-shirt might as well be a twin sized bed spread. I like my GC version just find thanks.

[Pumped'Up]

I'll rent the PS2 version before deciding on a purchase of the reg version. That figure looks ok, but it's damn boring - it should have been one of the monsters for the coolness factor. The t-shirt is gay regardless in any size. The soundtrack - no thanks, - most of the music is creepy, so only child molesters, crazy psychotics, and RE nerds will dig this shit.

[HALO 32]

i got my limited edition verson of RE4 for the cube i dont need this, plus its way out of my price range, maby if gamestop had (or suppose to) have a limted edtion of RE4 for PS2 ill buy that but 120 bucks...i dont think so

[womp]

do publishers ever announce how many copies of X game is pressed? just so i know when i should invest in buying a game from a collectors perspective. i missed out on gitaroo man but not rez.

[Grimgrock]

I think the Warcraft 3 Collector's Edition came with a numbered piece of artwork or something like that.

[Tyrant]

Wow. Shipping to Canada through UPS apparently costs a measley $110 according to the site. What a deal!

yea, i saw that too. Capcom sure knows how to make fantastic games, but they sure have a bunch of frickn morons running their online store.
