Resident Evil Revelations gets its own super expensive limited edition

I love to be scared - the anxiety, the adrenaline. Whether its being enveloped by a good book, teetering on the edge of my seat in the theatre or plunging head-first into the world of survival horror, I want to be there.

Do you remember when Capcom announced a super special edition of Resident Evil 6?  The premium edition that would include a limited edition replica of Leon’s in-game jacket and some iPhone cases?  It sold for over a grand? Well, now you do.

Capcom, apparently pleased with how well that went and the idea of releasing really expensive gaming memorabilia, has announced another premium set for people who have some throwing around money.  Capcom is set to release a premium set for the console version of Resident Evil Revelations.

The premium set includes a copy of Resident Evil Revelations, an arranged soundtrack CD, a BSAA card case and a BSAA wristwatch made by US Agency.  US Agency is in the business of making extremely rugged wrist watches for military and law enforcement agencies.  The watch is designed to be a high-quality replica of the watch Jill is wearing in the game.

The price for the full premium set?  $443USD.  If watches aren’t your thing (or $443 isn’t your thing) you can settle for the BSAA case and the soundtrack CD with the game for $83USD.  In all fairness, it’s not quite as out of reach as the $1400 edition of Resident Evil 6, but…that’s still kind of steep.

There’s a disclaimer on US Agency Watches‘ website that states that it’s an offense to use one of these watches to impersonate someone from a law enforcement or military agency.  Because when you sell watches that say CIA on them, you apparently have to remind people not to impersonate police officers and military men.

The game goes on sale in North America May 21 and May 23 in Japan.

    I was expecting Jill’s diver suit, but this is actually remotely reasonable. :D

    Just the game will do for me. What’s next? Recipe books from our favourite RE characters…sigh!

    damn, i want that watch!

    it does seem a bit pricey, but technically US Agency makes some nice watches for the military and they are all very pricey so the asking price for the special edition is reasonable in the sense that, that specific watch is in there. If it was some no name brand making some watch then yes, way over priced but this is unique to say the least.

    So tempting. But I don’t have the money to waste. Lol.

    I can tell that I’m a Jill fanboy because I’m actually tempted so I can get Jillwatch, although I don’t know if I could resist impersonating a member of the BSAA.

    Very very very nice watch. I love Revs. I want that watch so bad!

    I’m excited that Rachel finally has the opportunity to have her prior, and current stories told. Horray for Rachel, our fallen RE sister. :(
