There's also news that the release date has actually been pushed up a month, so it's out in October now. There's also news of the Premium Edition for your consideration. Now get this. The Premium Edition includes a copy of the game (either PS3 or Xbox 360), a set of four tablet case covers (one for Chris, Leon, Jake aka Wesker Jr., and a secret one), and Leon Kennedy’s leather jacket. Not as some alternate costume. Not as something for your avatar to wear. The actual leather jacket for you to wear.
To get all that will only cost you oh, 105,000 yen. That's $1300. Or £817. It's the most expensive special edition for a game of all time, higher than Steel Batallion. I'm all for special editions with stuff like t-shirts, posters, soundtracks all that good stuff, rather than in game weapons that are way overpowered for you to use at that stage, breaking a game's balance. But I do believe I'll pass on this one.
