That's Too Much: $1,300 Limited Edition Resident Evil 6

April 12, 2012 / are you kidding me, capcom, damn rich people, expensive, holy smokes, i bet you could get somebody to make you a nicer version of the jacket for cheaper, resident evil, that's too much, video game, what if i order the wrong size -- what's your return policy? "all sales are final" fufufufuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

So Capcom has announced a $1,300 special edition of Resident Evil 6 (due out October 2nd). What does your $1,300 get you? Nothing that justifies the price. You get: the game, four Resident Evil phone cases, and a replica of protagonist Leon Kennedy's leather jacket in the size of your choosing (so choose CAREFULLY -- there's nothing worse than dropping $1,300 on a leather jacket that your roommate adopts because it fits him better). Also, I assume the phone cases don't look like the ones in the picture because those look terrible. 1. I probably don't even own the phone that they fit and 2. who the f*** wants a phone case with a giant 'SAMPLE' printed across it? "Um, GW? That's just in the picture, they're not actually going to--" Just stop. You and I both know I'm not going to understand what you're trying to tell me, so why bother?

Hit the jump for a better shot of the $1,300 jacket.

Thanks to Sean and Paladin, who agree if they're paying $1,300 for a game they better BE in the game. And only as cool characters.

    YES, No: Mega Man Hoodie With Integrated Arm Cannon
    September 12, 2012
    "Now try to look as goofy as possible." This is a Mega Man (Rockman in Japan) hoodie collaboration between Punk Drunkers and Capcom. When you roll the left sleeve out over your hand, HIYO, it looks like Megaman's arm cannon. Unfortunately, the thing costs $190, which, I dunn... / Continue →

    While I know decent leather jackets can be expensive, I find it absolutely ridiculous that they want to charge roughly £800 for one and a game. That's downright extortionate if you ask me. I would expect atleast 2 decent jackets for that money. Or an actual zombie. A zombie in a jacket.

  • Daforce

    Um...isn't that Wolverine's jacket from the first X-Men movie, only with a collar and shoulder tabs?

  • Cutler Collins

    The people who buy this won't be the people that can wear a jacket like that.

  • MightyMolecule

    ...for $1,300 i expect an actual t-virus sample shipped overnight...

  • Azariel_z

    pffff not even RE4 jacket...

  • Rami Abdoch

    They would need to include a full RE team set to justify that ridiculous price: something like 4 kevlar vests, 4 sawed off shotguns, 4 Desert Eagles, and 4 herb making kits.

    Seriously, who would buy this?

  • i agree

  • ok this takes the cake as worst Collectors Edition iv seen  OH MAN 4 PHONE CASES FOR YOUR ONE PHONE.... AND A HORRBLE JACKET THAT LOOKS WORST THAN SOMETHING YOU BOUGHT AT A FLEA MARKET!!!! OH AND  IM SURE THE GAME WILL SUCK TOO!!!!

  • Wow -- you could go to a cycle shop and get a much cooler leather jacket for a fraction of the cost.
