    Start speculation as to what the other two forces are.... NOW!

      I wonder what size sweatshirt they predict the average RE(6) enthusiast will wear?

        Medium of course. One size fits no one but my wife.

          Think I may just get this. Finally, I agree with Smiley - a collectors edition thats actually good in Europe.

            It was bound to happen, but I'd say that it was a steady increase after Silent Hill Downpour and the MGS: HD Collection had more than what we got here.

            My thoughts on this recent turn of events...

              Ignore this, just read Capcom's actual page which stated it'll be specific retailers for all. Yes.... Ignore my ramblings. :p

              Seeing as GAME managed to make a comeback in the UK and is paying for exclusives again, I expect there. And given the GameStop thing in Germany, most likely EB in Australia (and via proxy, NZ).

                DLC pre-order bonuses already announced/on sites, several of them including shopto, play, amazon, zavvi (everyone I presume). We get all 3 Mercs maps that in US are split between retailers.

                Suck it, America!

                I like this covermuch better.

                  Yeah, but that doesn't mean it'll be the only DLC. :p

                    For pre-orders? I'm sure it will be, I cannot recall any retailer getting several sets of DLC except for when a deal falls through like ME3 not being stock by GAME, the bonus for that pre-order went to other sites including those with some already.

                      Looks great. Love the steelbook. Only question: why the zombie on it, when the major enemy in the game is the J'avo that all characters fight eventually. Can be just for the RE theme, but still blah.

                        Europe getting something decent from Capcom? Yeah, the world is gonna end for sure. Gonna switch my preorder to this as soon as Italy gets a confirmed retailer which will be Gamestop anyway.

                          That actually looks pretty awesome, I love the steel book art. Wonder if they'll release something similar over here in the states.

                            Probably gonna be GameStop in the Nordic Countries too, but people "might" want to keep their regular version pre-orders too (and then either co-op it up with that extra copy or sell it on day 1) - I'm at least keeping my regular one (after confirming where the heck I can get one of those boxes from.)

                            Why keep the normal one too? Seems like the normal version "might" get the "Nordic Edition" treatment for the DLC maps here (and a similar "special edition" in some other regions too), since no local dealer wants to claim exclusivity for the DLC maps - resulting in a one-size-fits-all package with all of them in one (started happening with a lot of titles lately).

                              Hmmm I've found this one but it seems to be different than what announced here... Also ewww at the price :X
                              I hope it's not exclusive to this retailer though because I'm not gonna preorder online for this game ;;

                              Nothing from Gamestop yet in my country but I find it hard to believe that they wouldn't have the CE available for RE6...
