Resident Evil 5 platform exclusives revealed

Pretty funny if you ask me as both sound underwhelming as bonus content and very little if nothing to brag about.

My guess is that this game will be one of those that will be compared like few other games when it arrives on 360 & PS3.

Better version ?

With a vast majority of this year's heavy hitters out on store shelves, we must now make sure to completely overhype everything 2009 has to offer. Let's get cracking then, and talk about the platform exclusive offers that will be coming with Resident Evil 5.

Yes, each version of RE5will have something a little different to offer customers. The PlayStation 3 version is packing a "making of" feature, which comes courtesy of folk from Hollywood to give it that professional air. On the Xbox 360, however, fans can enjoy a metal case and a soundtrack CD titled The Biohazard 5 Selection Track. Snazzy.

The main difference here is that the 360 version only gets its extra stuff as part of a limited Deluxe Edition, whereas the PS3 extra ships on the game disc itself.

Quite why these are exclusives is beyond me. They seem like pretty weird choices, but I suppose Capcom knows what it's doing. Which looks like the better deal to you?

I guess they're hoping that the die-hard fans will have to buy both...but since there aren't any in-game additions, what's the point? Youtube!Planeforger

Odd, doesn't quite seem fair on 360 owners. PS3 version for me.Floppy_Jim

Well for me I don't listen to video game soundtracks.  Also, it's a box man, a box.  A.  Box.

You're paying extra for it too since it's only with the deluxe edition.

"Capcom also revealed a special Limited Edition version of the game (pictured), which comes in an even fancier box, packing a 2GB USB memory stick, a 32-page art book, and a waist pouch that resembles one used in the game."

The memory stick looks like some kind of vaccine item from the game, apparently.

Im guessing size of blu-ray is only logical explanation for the extras on PS3POJO_MOFO

[QUOTE="killerfist"]that's a strange thing to do. a "making of" for one and a soundtrack for the other?:? makes no sense.Animal-Mother

It looks like Resident Evil is, once again, ripping off Alone in the Dark! :P

Let me get this straight.

Capcom is forcing Xbox 360 owners to get the Limited Edition version of the game to get the platform exclusive content? Lame. I'll be getting the regular version (if any at all) when it comes out.

well Seeing it this way, I have a friend who has been playing the series with me for as long as I have and has a ps3 only, so i'll probably get it on PS3 to play co-op with him at some point, and then i have another friend who has a 360 only and we love playing co-op games together, so when the price hits extremely low for 360 i'll get it for that as well, that and I am a Die hard fan of the series, my fav of all timeAnimal-Mother

 Also the second time I buy it, it will be for only a major price reduction nothing over 30 dollars

[QUOTE="carlisledavid79"][QUOTE="FirstDiscovery"]How so, if you buy the 360 version, you get a Sound Track CD but also an attractive metal box. On top of that, you can just go watch the Making Of on Youtube or something and forget about itFirstDiscovery

:lol:  Why are you guys arguing about this? seriously who really cares?

Well have you ever heard of someone ripping a making of from a Blu-Ray disk? You might be only able to see it on that then on Youtube.

[QUOTE="KrazyKev26"]

[QUOTE="Jandurin"]^^^ My thoughts. Actually, I probably won't even bother with youtube. Who cares about soundtracks or makings of? :PHeydanbud92

Meh...... Just another Capcom tactic to make RE diehardfan to buy both PS3 & 360 version and that means more $$$$ to them by fooling RE series rabid fans.

Anyway each content for both PS3 & 360 is useless............... I can watch the "the making of" video via youtube. And I can download RE5 soundtrack from the internet. And metal case is also useless. well at least for me...............

Only the limited edition caught my attention. But if only I have enough money. But although I have enough money the chance to get limited edition is slim at best..........
