Questions about this Resident Evil 5 CE.

[HephaestusJones]

Hello everyone. I've been wondering if anyone knows how rare or hard to find this collector's edition of Resident Evil 5 is. Also how expensive it is.

From what little research I've done (still recovering from Thanksgiving :thumb:) it appears to be an edition that was only available in China. I could be way off on that though but again Thanksgiving.

On that same thought, from what I've been able to gather it brought the game, a 2 GB 'Bloody Chainsaw' USB, and a 'Making Of' DVD with its own steelbook (similar to the Japanese MGS4 Special Edition).

Anyway any help would be nice.

sadly with that being a Hong kong/twian edition I wouldn't know the best outlets to pick that up at but probably ebay.

Yep pretty much this ^

That edition is very, very hard to find.

Finding one complete more so, I'm sure.

I think a lot of copies probably got broken up as steelbook collectors pay a fortune for that steel and that's all a lot of them really want

I have never seen a full edition on sale but I've also never really looked.

Only seen that steel for sale maybe twice?

well here you go off of twian ebay basically heres you some links http://goods.ruten.com.tw/item/show?21210315473739 http://goods.ruten.com.tw/item/show?21210315430158 http://goods.ruten.com.tw/item/show?21204172627903 http://goods.ruten.com.tw/item/show?11090414599183 http://goods.ruten.com.tw/item/show?21205273347859

Here are some ps3 links as well. http://goods.ruten.com.tw/item/show?21203245819018 http://goods.ruten.com.tw/item/show?21204217735329 http://goods.ruten.com.tw/item/show?21210067305186

FYI this or any video game for that matter is not released in China only in Hong Kong or twian which of bother speak Chinese anyway. Main land China bans video game sales basically because they don't adhere to the governments standards.

A pity. I have picked up on the rarity of this thing. I visited both eBay and its Hong Kong equivalent and only found a few people selling the Chainsaw USB by its self and then only in the Hong Kong eBay.

Still though, no pain no gain eh?

Never knew this was available in taiwan as well. I've only ever searched on hong kong sites. Although I never searched that hard as I had trouble finding anything at all.

Now if I could only find a way to get things shipped from taiwan...

IT was never available in china video games are not released in CHina. You will see a verry sellect few released in China but they cater to the governments standards the games are near impossible to find outside of china itself and there hardly any games released not even aking worth while trying to find anyway. Best examples i can give are ique from nintendo because they worked with a chinese company to help get games released in Chinese but they were all download only and only 14 games were made anyway. Ique ds is not even region free the damn thing is to hard to find and you can not even find games for the freaking thing.

Damn geralds, you're thorough. Awesome! Also that's an interesting bit of trivia about China. You learn something everyday though I guess I shouldn't be surprised what with the Dictatorship and all. Thanks again.

So turns out I am indeed one of those stereotypical uneducated Americans we all know and love

I honestly thought that Taiwan won independence from China at some point but I am incredibly mistaken

I really thought that the US either acknowledged or recognized Taiwan's independence from China but I really think I should stop talking now before I dig myself in any deeper

Btw geralds, I do trust your opinion on this stuff, I know you know what you're talking about when it comes to asian video games :P

When it comes to Twian being separate from China that is all who you talk to some say it is other don't I from my understanding The us government does not recongnize it as part of chinese and refuses to let china take it over while china from my understand still claims to actually own twian. So if you want to consider twian part of china then its just get special privileges and its own laws similar to hong kong.

Lets take wow as an example it got released in China but it had to get censored and on top of that Chinese can not connect outside Chinese servers they will just get an blocked errors message. I have no idea if Chinese wow copies will work outside of china ether if they do you still can not connect to a chinese server ether as you will be blocked.

So then do all the same rules/regulations apply to taiwan?

Or is there slight differences?

no twain is like hong kong more or less and most of the time when you see a chinese ps3 game or 360 game its usually coming from Twian or hong kong. If there are main land china games released then there probably no way we can even find out anyway. Even if you could read chinese and do a chinese search all your going to do is find a bunch of twian and hong kong sites anyway. Also it would be verry hard to impossible to import any of the crap out of main land china anyway. Also so you know most asian editions are not even in chinese there in english or Japanese most of the time doing nothing but changing the region code on the disk removing the rating logo on the disk may or may not add a hong kong/twian rating logo. some times they do nothing and you can order a so called asian edition of a game and only thing that is changed is the region code on the disk the art work could even bare an eu rating logo or a north american rating logo. Some asian editions for example like intial d on ps3 will also have features actually taking out of the game but not even bother to translate the game to chinese. Also you do not have to worie ether 60% of the time they do not even put a region code on asian edition games anyway so say you get an asian edition game there all 100% garanteed to work on a Japanese system and about 75% of the time they will work on both a pal and ntsc system as well or you will get some strange crap were it works on pal system a but not a ntsc system or vis versa.

I might be interested.

PMed you about it

[MortalMonday]

It comes with a DVD and an insert. I don't remember if the DVD works here in the states though. It might be region locked.

Region locked doesn't bother me as the steel is the important part to me. I would like to get the dvd and insert as well if that's ok though. Even if I can't use it I like having it as complete as possible

[MortalMonday]

OK, you got it. Thanks.

If its not region locked then that no official dvd. ANyway you could easily get it to work on a pc so the region lock thing is no big deal.

Well I have an american collectors edition of resident evil 5, but it came with a steelbook, tricell bag, africa pendant, and a small chris redfield figure. oh and a b.s.a.a. patch.

Yes that one's a decent CE imo but the one we're talking about is rare while the US CE is quite common, still nice but common.

Therefore the steelbook that is unique to that edition is quite hard to find and is more desirable and all that

[sirjoshd109]

Ah I see well i couldn't tell you then haven't really seen limited editions of other countries, but that chainsaw usb looks awesome!

[kittychloe]
