That steelbook case is THE reason to buy the CE. I never get sick of those. The action figure still looks terrible. African continent necklace thing is great too. Everything else is meh.

I thought the figureine was well painted, certainly better than the pictures would have let on... kind of worthless at only 3" though, I would have preferred a Big-Daddy sized figure, and would have been happy to give up the patch, and bag for a hard cover artbook.

if you're going to provide trinkets then stuff based on in-game content is best. This CE was originally rumored to come with a fake vile of the T-virus, that would have been awesome.

A key chain as opposed to the necklace would have been cool too, I mean you use enough keys in the game. Something about keychains I really like. the R6V keychain and the Rockstar Keychain being two of my favorites.

Is that the same figure that the people who pre-ordered RE5 from GAME in the UK got given as a bonus? It looks identical.

I received mine as a pre-order bonus when I pre-ordered the red X360 console, and as nice as the figure is, it is most definitely a waste at only 3 inches, and should've been at least 6 inches to have been of any display use, so it's a useless trinket as far as i'm concerned

[twistedsymphony]

yeah I'm pretty sure it's the same figure... it's only 3in tall... agreed that it's rather useless

[RedEvil]

what a waste of money.

The steelbook rocks my flippin socks off, but other than that I feel cheated.

they should just released a steelbook version at a cheaper price than 90$USD.

Oh and I beat the game already.
