So you get the game, 4 tablet cases, and a leather jacket all for $1300.
Yeah what a great deal!!!
The jacket must be marked up extremely high

Snookies124388d ago (Edited 4388d ago )

It's an amazing deal!!! Oh wait, was about to go off on this edition's insane price, but then I remembered who it's done by... Capcom!!!!!

CarlitoBrigante4388d ago

Crapcom never learns it, I applaud everyone pirating their games.

Snookies124388d ago

That made me lol so hard... I don't like pirating, but I gotta agree, something needs to be done about their horrible business practice. It's like they hate their fans or something, I dunno what their deal is to be honest.

jthamind4388d ago

the rights to the Resident Evil franchise isn't even worth $1,300 anymore.

badz1494388d ago (Edited 4388d ago )

U can buy 3 PS3s for that price and a couple of games too!

And people should be worried about this. Why? Because it's very likely that they will include all the extra content into this version and god knows how much they will trim down the normal version of the game to make way for DLC!

Perjoss4388d ago

jacket comes with a hood, but you cant use it until you buy an unlock code from capcom.

pangitkqb4388d ago

You'd have to be one hell of a Resident Evil fan to want to sped that kind of dough.

GraveLord4388d ago

Good thing its optional huh?

bruddahmanmatt4388d ago

The amazing thing is that even with the $1,300 price tag, the DLC will still cost you extra.

zeeshan4387d ago (Edited 4387d ago )

The problem with Capcom is that they have their heads so far up in their asses that they don't even care what they are doing to their business and their rep. In my opinion, when it comes to shoddy business practices and ignoring decade old fanbase CAPCOM is right up there with SQUARE ENIX this gen and I am not even talking about this ridiculous $1300 edition (which is optional of course).

Kevin ButIer4387d ago

A jacket? thats stupid...you can get a tailored jacket with good quality for less. And lets be honest... no one will notice its a RE6 jacket

lol, did anybody buy Inafune's jacket?

exsturminator014388d ago

How on earth does this have disagrees? Did anyone buy Inafune's jacket? It's a valid question!

GoldenAge4388d ago

@exsturminator

You must be new here, there will always be people that will hit disagree regardless what the post contains. At best it's someone who accidentally clicked disagree when they were trying to agree at worst it's someone who gets their kicks from seeing people react to the disagree.

kevnb4388d ago

Ive seen comments that completely contradict each other get the same amount of disagrees probably from the same users lol.

Ness-Psi4388d ago

people have multiple accounts and agree and disagree with people they dont like and give themselves bubbles, sad really.

zeeshan4387d ago (Edited 4387d ago )

The admin should simply remove the disagree button. One AGREE button is enough ala FACEBOOK.

Actually you from what I heard the leather jacket's zipper doesn't work, you have to pay for that function in the future..... on-jacket DLC, only from Capcom.

_Aarix_4387d ago (Edited 4387d ago )

Break out the scissors, its pirating time!

zeal0us4388d ago (Edited 4388d ago )

Hey Crapcom April fool already passed....oh god they are serious :| joke is on me :(

TheIneffableBob4388d ago

For that price, it better be a real leather jacket.

Real, high-quality leather jackets go for $500-800 (something like Temple of Jawnz), and even much higher (Julius).

ChrisW4388d ago

In Japan, anything leather is extremely overpriced because it's considered 'fashionable'.

zeeshan4387d ago

TheIneffableBob: I don't want to read between your lines but God I hope you are not trying justifying this.

DeadlyFire4388d ago

The jacket is real and extracted from the game world. So Leon actually touched it. Makes it worth tons of cash.

smashman984388d ago

Pirating the game won't get you 4 tablet covers nd a leather jcket 60 dollars will get u the game tho as well as pretty much anyother game

gedapeleda4388d ago

Ok
game- 60$
Jacket- you can get a good one for 100$
4tablet cases- dont know what it is.Is it for Ipad?
Whell the overall is max 400$

violents4388d ago (Edited 4388d ago )

I agree except a "good" leather jacket is probly along the lines of 200-300 and a designer leather is prob what they are charging and i would guess is 700-1000(way overpriced by my standards but if you got the money to blow please send it to me instead)

Oh and at those numbers would still mean your paying 300 bucks for some crappy tablet covers(not brand specific so who knows if they fit what you have, if you have one) and a game, what crapcomtastic deal.

cyclindk4388d ago

Walmart has this same deal for, 1299.95. Roll back..

No collector console for that price you could do two collector consoles for PS3 and 360. Throw them into the deal I don't own a tablet so the covers will be useless to me. I am not a big fan of a leather jacket thats marked up high in price. Surprise they don't include DLC into the package. I agree with Dark Hallow E bay the thing after a while there are collectors who will pay for this kind of stuff.

WeskerChildReborned4388d ago

Whoa so the jacket is $1200 the tablet cases are $40 and that game is $60. Sound's pricey

There Will Never Be Another Resident Evil 6 (And That Sucks)

A rough gem that may never get the proper treatment it deserves.

Terry_B396d ago

^^ I don't want what the author was smoking.

-Foxtrot395d ago

It’s this thing where after enough time people start coming out to defend bad games for some strange reason

I mean hey if you liked it good for you but it was a f****** awful RE game.

Capcom are finally back on track and now people are crying about their shitty mistakes? No thanks.

RpgSama394d ago

I'd take a full blown remake of RE6 based around a GREATLY expanded Leon part and make it even more horror.

That might be something I would be interested in, do not care about any of the other parts of that game.

MadLad394d ago

I couldn't even get through the demo.
Years later I bought it for $3 for PC. I played about 5 minutes into it and uninstalled it.

babadivad394d ago (Edited 394d ago )

RE6 was better than 5. RE6 just took the series to the conclusion that started with 4.

RE4 was the inaugural title in the action game trilogy.

RE9 will be the likely end of the first person psychological thriller trilogy.

They'll switch it up for RE10 or more likely titled RE-X.

hotnickles394d ago

5 is vastly better than 6 imo

TheEnigma313394d ago

RE5 is way better than 6. Stop lying to yourself

FallenAngel1984395d ago (Edited 395d ago )

“But all this is solely with respect to how fans felt back in 2013 when Resident Evil 6 had just been released. The game resulted in the series getting indefinitely killed off until 5 years later when we got Resident Evil 7 and balance was restored yet again. ”

1.) Resident Evil 6 came out in 2012, not 2013

2.) A series getting killed off means no titles at all released in a time period. Silent Hill, Dead Space, Dino Crisis, Parasite Eve & Siren fans would love to see how you can say RE was on the same level of dormancy. In that 5 year time period we had a number of remasters that kept the series alive and kicking. RE1 02ms remaster even broke sales records during the period between RE6 and RE7.

3. Way to disrespect Resident Evil: Revelations 2. It was released during that RE6-RE7 period. It along with its predecessor were mainline titles that kept the horror roots of the series alive in comparison to RE5 and RE6. RE: R1 in particular even introduced the ability to walk and shoot into the series, a feature we can all be grateful for that in modern RE titles. The director RE: R1 later went on to direct RE7 and the director of RE: R2 later went to to direct the RE2 & RE4 remakes.

Immagaiden395d ago (Edited 395d ago )

“Resident Evil 6 is often maligned as the worst entry in the Resident Evil series and is cited as the cause behind the long death of the franchise.”

Titles in the Resident Evil series such as Survivor, Gaiden, Dead Aim, Outbreak, Operation Raccoon City, Umbrella Corps, & Resistance we’re received far worse than RE6.

And death of the franchise?

RE6 was still one of the most commercially successful games in the series, guaranteeing the franchise’s future. Compare how underwhelming sales of Dead Space 3, Silent Hill: Downpour. Alone in the Dark: Illumination, Dino Crisis 3, Fatal Frame: Maiden in Black Water, Castlevania: Lords of Shadows 2, and Metroid: Other M which caused their respective series to go into a long period of dormancy without any rereleases to even keep activity up.

RE however still had a significant number of titles released and rereleased after RE6. Not only that but development for RE7 started a short time after its predecessor came out, meaning there was never a development time that the series could be considered dead. There hasn’t been a single year that Capcom stopped either developing, releasing, or rereleasing Resident Evil games. Let’s not act like the 5 year period between RE6 and RE7 is such a longer time compared to the 4 year period between RE4 and RE5 as well as RE7 and RE8. We can pretty much expect RE9 in either 2025 or 2026, and you can be certain that Capcom will still release other RE tiles leading up to it

TheEnigma313394d ago (Edited 394d ago )

Man go some where with this. Only a few like this game. Why would they remake a garbage game no one likes risking money because it won't sell? RE 6 is dumpster drippings, sorry.

MIDGETonSTILTS17394d ago

It wasn’t that good, even if you enjoyed it like me.
