Pre-Order Resident Evil HD Remaster And Get It For Both PS3 And PS4

by Andrew Reiner on Dec 23, 2014 at 11:02 AM

Capcom announced today that pre-orders for the forthcoming Resident Evil HD remaster of the 2002 GameCube game are currently available on PlayStation Network. People who pre-order the game - and only those who pre-order it - get it for both PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 using Sony's cross-buy functionality. Those people will also receive a Resident Evil theme for their systems.

Capcom also noted that Resident Evil HD can be pre-loaded to the consoles and will be readily available for play when the game ships on January 20. Resident Evil HD is not a PlayStation exclusive. It is also coming to Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC on the same day.

Our Take
Forcing people to pre-order the game to get both versions is annoying, and seems like something that should  be available at any point for people with both systems, but in the larger world of pre-order bonuses, we can be thankful that people who don't put down money early aren't missing out on a section of the game or an in-game bonus of some variety.
