Resident Evil 6 Premium Edition Requires Lots Of Disposable Income

Resident Evil 6

Capcom is going to be offering a high-end Premium Edition of Resident Evil 6 when the game launches in Japan on October 4, 2012, and it'll be carring an insane price tag of 105,000 yen. At current conversion rates, that comes out to roughly $1,300 here in the United States (via Destructoid). It's a Japan-only release, but U.S. residents who are willing to fork over that kind of scratch for a video game can probably afford the import costs as well.

The package includes a copy of the game (Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3), a set of four character-branded tablet covers (Chris, Leon, Wesker Jr., and an unrevealed one), and a replica of Leon's leather jacket. You can get more details from Capcom's official Resident Evil 6 page (called Biohazard 6 in Japan), though you won't glean much unless you're able to read Japanese.

For more on the game, check out our shiny, new Resident Evil 6 first-look preview from 2012's Captivate gathering.

    I find it highly illogical for anyone to spend that much money on this game.

    You'll be paying for just the damn jacket! Thats. it.
    I'd rather put a down payment on a new car.

    I thought EA was greedy. First their DLC issue and now this. Do they know for that kind of money you could secure your house from an actual zombie invasion.

    That jacket better be inlaid with roughly $1,450.00 worth of U.S. currency. Or it better be loose fitting enough for me to do some major Taylor Swifting. Either one and I'm definitely in, NOT!

    I think Capcom probably released this just to lol at the fact that they had a Premium Edition that went over 1k.
