Resident Evil 6 Resident Evil 6 Collector's Edition announced for Europe

[Jwells]

Capcom has announced the Resident Evil 6 Collector's Edition for Europe.
It contains all sorts of gubbins, including a hooded sweatshirt and a real-life emblem. It does not, however, include Leon Kennedy's new leather jacket, as seen in the so far Japan only £817 Premium Edition.
The contents in full, in Capcom's own words:

• Resident Evil 6 game.
• Zombie Steel Book.
• Exclusive Resident Evil 6 hardback artbook showing concept art from the game.
• Resident Evil 6 Avatar DLC code for 360 owners OR an RE6 Dynamic Theme for PS3 owners.
• Ivy University, Tall Oaks hooded sweatshirt (one size) .
• 'The RE6 forces emblems' - High quality enamelled zinc alloy emblems of the three main protagonists squad insignias, mounted and set in a limited numbered frame authenticated with signatures from Senior producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi, Producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi and RE6 Director Eiichiro Sasaki. A must have piece for any fan of Resident Evil! .
• All of the above amazing goodies are bundled together in the lenticular 'Needle Bomb' collectors box (as seen in the RE6 announce trailer).

In the UK the Collector's Edition will be sold exclusively by retailers that are yet to be announced.
Alternatively, there's a limited edition Steel Book version of Resident Evil 6, which will be available from all shops at around the same price as the standard version. Images of both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 version of this are below.

Will you get the Collector's Edition?

I think I'll get Anthology so no Collector's for me. However, this isn't very important for me. I don't care much about the hoodie or the emblems and the artbooks wil leventually be scanned and posted online...
Hopefully Anthology and Archives might have some coll material like artworks from older games or something (A translated version of the Incubate book would be nice).

Do you have a source? It would be nice to confirm if it's a reliable source or not.

Thanks.
Sorry for that, but there was a rumor about a collector's edition before so I would like to know if this was the real deal. Looks official to me.

Woah. I'm telling you I think I will purchase Anthology, sell the RE6 disc and then get the steel book because I just fell in love with that cover *.*

I'll buy the steel book version if it's PC as well

The PC release date hasn't even been announced yet... I think they will only start developing the PC version some days before the release of the console versions. At least, it's what the developers suggested.
At this time, they must be worried to fix all the bugs and complaints from the Demo, and sinse they don't have much time left, the PC version is probably the last of their concerns right now.

It's all over the newsfeeds now - if it comes out for PC with all that stuff, I'd be willing to part with a bit of cash for it.

I already pre-ordered the standard edition, but that's not to say I won't some day scrounge up these items seperately for me RE collection...

 

[Loki]

I might consider getting this, but it depends on how much it costs. The steelbook does look really nice

 

[HellSpawn]

If you live in the UK or France, there are links in the official page.
http://www.capcom-europe.com/blog/2012/06/resident-evil-6-collectors-edition-announced-for-europe/

Otherwise, I think you'll have to wait for more news. Maybe they'll update that page with other links?

 

[HellSpawn]

Cheer´s my friend

 

[RedAndWhite]

Well I'm looking for the Anthology page.

 

[kgould01]

I clicked on the link for sellers in the UK and it went to the Game.UK website but it only listed the standard edition for PS3, 360 and PC. Was hoping to be able to get my girlfriend to pre-order it for me as an early xmas present LOL

Sorry to double post wanted to make a distinction between the two posts. I have found this on ShopTo.net that may interest anyone in the UK and possibly Europe, Limited Edition Steelbook Edition of Resident Evil 6. (checking but can't find a edition for PC, sorry)

That will be OK I guess, as that will be around £120. It's a good thing i'll get my student loan a week before this comes out.
