Questions about this Resident Evil 5 CE.

HephaestusJones · #1 11-24-2012, 09:32 PM

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

) 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?

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?

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.

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

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.
