The Resident Evil series definitely has a big following. Characters like Leon are famous even for many who've never played a game with him in it in their lives. However, probably only the biggest Resident Evil fan out there would ever consider grabbing this newly unveiled Premium Edition. Unlike the kind of "ultimate" or "collector's" editions we tend to get here, this Japanese one truly deserves the title of Premium.

While it comes with a few phone cases, the real prize is a replica of Leon S. Kennedy's jacket. It's a rather stylish leather jacket and unfortunately leather isn't cheap. Neither is this edition, which asks affluent gamers to spend 105,000 yen on it. That approximates to $1,300. Oh, you also get Resident Evil 6 for PS3 or 360 with the edition too. Still, it's obvious the majority of the price comes from that darn jacket as well as apparent rarity.

It seems like such an egregiously priced edition would never make it to our shores, but that's fine. How many of us here are really clamoring for that? At least the jacket comes in a variety of sizes (from small to extra large) unlike the bonus shirts we sometimes get with games that tend to only be extra large.


What is the best/worst special edition that you know of or bought?
