Capcom Reveals $1,300 Resident Evil 6 Premium Edition

Resident Evil’s protagonist Leon S. Kennedy has become a pretty stylish guy since moving away from his straight-laced RPD officer duds and altar boy haircut. I guess barely surviving a zombie outbreak awakens a man’s hunger to dress well while enjoying what little we have of this crazy thing called life. Anyway, he had a pretty mean fur/leather coat in Resident Evil 4, and his motorcycle jacket in Resident Evil 6 is looking even more bad-ass. Guess what? You can look just like Leon for the, eh... unique price of $1,300.

Silconera has translated the Japanese-only advertisement for the premium edition of the game, which retails for 105,000 yen. It includes four exclusive tablet covers – one featuring Chris, Leon, Wesker’s son Jake Muller, and a secret character – and, of course, the game itself.

Or, you could just walk into your local mall and buy pretty much the same thing, with enough cash to spare to buy your entire extended family copies of RE 6. But it’s your money, who am I to judge? It does looks pretty warm. And those pockets could problem fit lots of green herbs and spare handgun bullets. Maybe the leather is tough enough to protect against gnashing human teeth. Who knows? It might be the purchase that saves your life.

  • So much haranguing and wise-cracking... just let the Japanese sell a few expensive coats inspired by video games without scrutinizing! Sheesh!

  • I can't even imagine spending that much on a game.  $200 is probably my limit for CE versions and it has to have a ton of stuff in it.

  • I like the zombie that is wearing Leon's jacket in separate ways in Resident Evil 4.

  • The only way this would be worth $1,300 is if it included Leon. Leon as in the actual character. In real life.
  • Buys $1,300 edition of game, still locked content on disc. Capcom
  • That's not that crazy considering the price of a normal jacket (which is crazy) but I still wouldn't buy it. Tim, were you in a hurry when you wrote this? There seem to be some typos.
  • For $1,300 you could go to the mall and buy basically the same outfit... and you would have more then enough to stop at the local gun store and buy a REAL handgun to complete the look.

    Anyone who buys this is really an idiot...

  • No thank you!

  • cant i just put on my leather jacket (that i already own) and play the game that way???
  • I would love to meet a person that bought that. Lol

  • Wow, and I thought Guild Wars 2's was expensive!

  • Ill take the $60.00 version.  Save the other $1,240.00 for PS4.

  • Wow.

  • thats just stupid,why does gaming clothing have to be soooo frickin expensive.

  • I could buy 2 more Xboxs/PS3s and two copies of the game with that.

  • Even if they were the special edition star wars xboxs, I could still afford 2 of them and the game. that's sad

  • So all you are paying for are covers that you put on your box...Only one of which you will actually use! I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
  • I want that jacket.
  • fvck em and the horse they ridin on

  • Is Capcom out of their freaking minds? Who would honestly pay that much for a videogame? I know for sure I wouldn't. No videogame is worth that price.
