Capcom Announces Biohazard 15th Anniversary Box Set For PS3

[News Bot]

Yes, I admit, it certainly was a genius move. 'Don't have RE5? Don't bother! We left an empty space because it doesn't belong in the RE universe. This space is for Resident Evil 1.5, when it leaks on the net.'

Awesome move Capcom!

Comments like this are very entertaining. Everyone at Capcom (especially Hideki Kamiya, the writer and director of 1.5) thought 1.5 was a piece of shit.

I think that in the end the only way to satisfy the curiosity is to release it and let the gamers make their decision.


There was a lot of interesting stuff from 1.5 that didn't get added into the series until later though.

My birthday is September 30th, so this will make a damn good B-day present to myself
I really like the design of the box covers, with the old and tattered s.t.a.r.s. emblem.

This comes out the day before my birthday....damn.

Too bad it's japan only.

I would import, but I don't have a japanese PS3, and I can't read Japanese or even understand it in a spoken context...so that would suck majorly.

The PS3 is region free.

The PS3 is region free.

But you wouldn't be able to play the PSone discs.

But you wouldn't be able to play the PSone discs.

The PS3 Slim can still play PS1 games. It's just PS2 games that aren't compatible.

I wonder if you can insert the stars emblem into the side of the box and unlock a secret costume?

Oh, this is good to know. Now if only this game has some form of english translation selection in the games (I doubt this though). I mean playing it in Japanese wouldn't kill it, but I do like to read the notes.

I think that PSOne games ARE NOT region free though - it's only PS3 games.
I don't know, I can't test it. I have a Japanese PS3

I tried to play Biohazard 1 on my PS3 and it wouldn't work

[Agent_Wong]

The psOne and ps2 are not region free when playing games, even on a BC system. Only the ps3 discs are region free, which is kind of a bummer, but I'm gonna get this anyway.

[Zombie_X]

I have a Japanese PS2 and Japanese PS1 so I think I'll buy this.

[djepic112]

What's up with this smartass smile? What I said was CORRECT. Someone said the PS3 is region free and my response was that the PS1 games still won't work.

You assumed I meant that it's because the PS3 can't play PS1 disc games? No, I was referring to JP psnone discs NOT working on North American PS3s. Unless Capcom prints RE1-3 as region free, the discs won't work when you import it. Only the PS3 game disc of the collection will play.

It's not. I thought the region locks on the PS3 was common knowledge now considering the console has been out for 4.5 years?

PS3 region support:
PS1 disc games- region locked
ps2 disc games - region locked even with BC system
dvd movies- region locked
ps3 games- region free and should always work if you play on HD television.
psone PSN titles ARE region free but you may not be able to play the game due to NTSC/PAL reasons.
