Resident Evil 5 is available in three packs – a standard edition, steelbook edition and collector’s pack. The standard edition retails for $119.95 and just includes a copy of the game. The steelbook edition is slightly more expensive at $129.95, and includes a copy of the game, a steelbook case and a bonus disk featuring a 60 minute ‘Making Of’ documentary and trailer for the Resident Evil Degeneration film. Last but not least is the collector’s pack, which is usually $169.95 (ouch). It contains a copy of the game with a steelbook case, a 3 inch Chris Redfield figurine, a Kljuju necklace, a BSAA clothing patch and a Tricell messenger bag.
With that out the way, the standard edition of Resident Evil 5 will be only $84 at JB Hi-Hi until Sunday (after which it will be $99). In case you can't get down to your local store before Sunday, then Wow - Sight and Sound will be charging only $88. Those wanting the Steelbook edition can grab a copy at JB Hi-Fi for $119, sadly there are no alternatives that we are aware of. Finally, the Collector’s pack isn’t on sale at any retailers, though you can purchase it from JB Hi-Fi’s online store for $149 (Xbox 360 link, PS3 link).
If you’re anything like us, chances are you spent all your hard earn cash a few weeks ago on Halo Wars and/or Killzone 2. Fortunately, JB Hi-Fi have got you covered by offering the standard edition for FREE if you trade-in two games – as always remember to check their exclusions list (.pdf file) before walking into your local store. The offer last until Sunday, after which you'll be required to trade-in three titles. If that doesn’t tickle you fancy, then EB Games is offering a deal where you’ll get the standard edition for $39.95 if you trade-in 2 games that are on their eligible titles list.
Additionally, EB Games is offering a Xbox 360 bundle which includes a limited edition red Xbox 360 120 GB Elite console, Resident Evil 5 standard edition, Halo Wars limited edition and redeem codes for a Resident Evil 5 premium theme and Street Fighter 2 HD Turbo Remix via the Xbox Live Marketplace. It will set you back $569. Also, the standard edition of Resident Evil 5 at JB Hi-Fi comes with a bonus figurine – better be quick though, as stores have very limited stock.
