$1,240 Resident Evil 6 Platinum Edition

[Demon_Skeith]

If you're a fan of Resident Evil and have exceptionally deep pockets, prepare to get excited by the Platinum Edition of Resident Evil 6. It's essentially the ultimate special edition, coming with a copy of the game on either Xbox 360 or PlayStation, plus four phone cases – one each for Chris, Leon and Jake, plus a random 'secret' case.

The big draw, however, is a replica leather jacket based on the one Leon wears in the game. Available in four sizes – small to extra large – the jacket is apparently made from fine soft leather.

And the cost of the Platinum Edition? A mere ¥100,000, which translates to around $1,240 or £780. The bad news is currently it's only available through Capcom's Japanese eStore and is limited to 5,000 units, so if you're desperate to perfect the Leon look then you'd best starting think about how you're going to get one – and start saving – now.

someone will.

I would, that jacket is badass. lol

I bet it's some cheap made thing.

While some leather jackets can be pretty expensive, I rather doubt that one is all that expensive (even if it is pretty expensive, I doubt it's actually worthy anywhere near a thousand). So to me this premium edition of the game is definitely not worth it. I wouldn't even pay 200$ for it. (And that's if the jacket was 150 by itself...)

For the price they're asking I'd have hoped for something like a PS3/Sony HDTV/RE6 type bundle with the jacket and phone cases. (Or 360/Sharp TV/RE6, etc... bundle) Something that would be actually worth dropping over a grand for.

Shame on you capcom for this blatant exploitation/money grab by attempting to push over priced crap.

It's a collector's item.

It's a collector's item.

guess it should be worn then.

It's a collector's item.

Even if it's collector's item, if you try to sell it to a collector in the future, it wouldn't be this much of a price...

It wouldn't, it would be thousands of dollars more. Action Comics #1, first comic with Superman, original print 1938, sold for $1.5 million in 2009, in an 8.5/10 condition. Black Lotus from Limited Edition Alpha, the most valuable Magic card ever made, now worth $3,000, originally printed in 1993.

The jacket would be amazing, though it wouldn't fit me. Would i want to pay this much for it though? No.

 

[Outstar]

God dam it I now want that dam sexy Leather Jacket, also the game would be nice...

Leon has to have the coolest set of clothes in RE. Though I'm not going to pay that much for it, probably selling one standalone would only be $100-$200 in my eyes.

Not all that into the Resident Evil series, but JESUS THAT'S A TON OF MONEY.
