Resident Evil 5 Gets Limited Edition Versions

Capcom has introduced a new wedge between PS3 and Xbox 360 camps by announcing different Limited Edition versions of its 2009 surefire hit, Resident Evil 5, for both consoles. Both Limited Edition versions will come in an extra large box (compared to the regular version, of course), where inside gamers will find a 2GB USB flash drive that is specially designed after a game item, a 32-page color art book and a waist pouch in the form of yet another in-game item. The Xbox 360 “Deluxe Edition” will boast a metal case and soundtrack CD, while PS3 owners can benefit from a making-of extra on the game disc itself. According to Capcom, this is no amateurish outing as it has been produced with “Hollywood” expertise, rendering the disc the “world’s first PS3 game software/Blu-ray video hybrid”. Which Limited Edition would you rather root for, and will it influence your console purchase if you haven’t yet done so already?
