CES 2009: Capcom teases us with the Resident Evil 5 Collector's Edition tin photo

When Capcom invited us up to its suite to check out their new wares today -- Street Fighter IV, Resident Evil 5, and Dark Void, among others -- we didn't know we'd get a gift. Yup, Capcom handed us a Resident Evil 5 collector's edition tin. But don't get excited like we did at first -- really, it's just the tin. 

While it's just your typical collector's edition tin, constructed exactly like the tins Capcom produced for Resident Evil 4 for the GameCube and the PlayStation 2, it's pretty enough to share. Unfortunately, there's not much to say that these pictures can't convey, so I'm not even going to try. It's most definitely a tin with a space for two discs -- the game itself, and the fancy bonus disc that will come along with it.

We'll have to wait until March 13 to put an actualy copy of Resident Evil 5 in the tin. But until then, we'll be using it to house our two CDs we've lost the cases for: Technotronic's Body to Body and Sir Mix Alot's 1992 classic, Mack Daddy. Thanks, Capcom!

Lets hope I can get my hands on one of these when the time comes.

Well, I'll be buying it, but if there's just a bonus disc and a tin, that shit better not be more than $70. Devil May Cry 4's tin was $80, but that included the first DVD of the anime (that I didn't want and wasn't even that good), so I understood the higher pricepoint.

Looks good, but now all I can think about is the line "I'm tired of magazines that say flat butts are the thing".

What's "the thing" that Sir Mix-a-lot refers to? And where can I get one of those magazines?

I wish they just told us what was fucking in it so I would know if its worth it to drop the $90 dollars.

I've pre-ordered & paid in full for my -not collector's version- RE5 for Xbox360

don't get me wrong i like the collector's version, i'm just not digging the overlapping disc case, sounds like another disc scratching fiasco if you ask me.
