With a vast majority of this year's heavy hitters out on store shelves, we must now make sure to completely overhype everything 2009 has to offer. Let's get cracking then, and talk about the platform exclusive offers that will be coming with Resident Evil 5.
Yes, each version of RE5 will have something a little different to offer customers. The PlayStation 3 version is packing a "making of" feature, which comes courtesy of folk from Hollywood to give it that professional air. On the Xbox 360, however, fans can enjoy a metal case and a soundtrack CD titled The Biohazard 5 Selection Track. Snazzy.
The main difference here is that the 360 version only gets its extra stuff as part of a limited Deluxe Edition, whereas the PS3 extra ships on the game disc itself.
Quite why these are exclusives is beyond me. They seem like pretty weird choices, but I suppose Capcom knows what it's doing. Which looks like the better deal to you?

no, seriously, does anyone give a shit?
I still prefer the Jap. version
I'd even pay the 150 bones
Anyways, This make me think about Capcom speaking to Sony and Microsoft:
-Well, hello. We have these products: Soundtrack and making of. We sell this to you as exclusive content for console.
-I will pay for the Making Of. And an extra if you put it inside the blue ray content in non exclusive edition.
-Then that will be much more because we will not sell the deluxe edition.
-Give me the Soundtrack. Dont worry, you will have your deluxe edition.
...
Well, that was not funny... I also want the free content! XD
MEH.
I'm getting 360 version for the achievements cus I'm a whore.
But I'm gonna go with PS3
I like "making of" things so PS3 wins. Also, what Jonathan Holmes and Charles Sharam said.
Basically: making of videos never really tell you anything about the making of. Usually they'll just say "Oh hey look at this weirdo programmy version of the almost finished game. Isn't that so amazing. Okay look at it some more. By the way we can make this guy's mouth move for the oh-so-incredible lip syncing which is the footure."
However, I'm probably not even buying RE5 anyway, so it doesn't really matter.
After that though, I will be getting the PS3 version as that's my weapon of choice.
However, I just have to know what the wily Wesker is up to!
a pendrive USB that has the looks like a t-virus container, an artbook, and a bag the looks like the ones STARS used. please capcom, bring this over here!!

Even if I did have a PS3, it would make like my PS2:
Only it's console exclusives get play time, or a beefed-up version of a game that came out already but I didn't already own. All my multi-console purchases go on Xbox/360.
They could just have given both for free on both console, but NOOOOOOO... they need to profit more from it... as if RE5 won't make them enough profit to begin with :/
Still, as lame as it sounds I'd probably buy it as DLC.
Shit that looks awesome! Either way I think the exclusives for the PS3 and 360 don't really matter. I hate collectors cases and a making of video would be interesting to watch and a soundtrack would be cool but it's not worth the price in my opinion. The 360 exclusives should come with the regular edition though.
360 owners are totally used to getting ripped off though, so it's all good.
