REVIEWS GRiD 2 Review
Grid 2 surprised me. I was going through the motions, getting used to the cars and their handling, when suddenly something happened. I started having fun.

State of Decay Review
Undead Lab's zombie-infested action title has finally hit XBLA. Is it worth a few of your precious Microsoft Points, or should you whack it over the head with a two-by-four and continue on your merry way?

E3: PC or rather about the lack of it
By Starling
Posted on 06/15/13
E3 2013 has been very silent for me. There's tons of media, but most of it buzzes past my ears without them catching the important keyword that my ears are fine tuned to receive: "PC" or "Personal Computer". Microsoft, Sony, EA and Ubisoft have all shown their cards...

DAILY MANIFESTO

Would You Buy A $1,300 Resident Evil 6 Premium Edition?

Posted on Thursday, May 10 @ 16:13:25 Eastern by

Last month, I reported that Capcom Japan had announced an exorbitantly expensive Resident Evil 6 Premium Edition, which includes four tablet covers, the game (of course), and the pièce de résistance, Leon's leather jacket. The whole package, however, costs 105,000 yen or just about $1,300 US.

Today, via the official Capcom-Unity blog, a Capcom Story guy has posited the idea of bringing over a couple of the Premium Edition over to the US, but he wants "to gauge interest before he does that".

I'm guessing that many of you would not buy it, especially in this economy, but would even one of you get it? If not, how high would you go to buy it?

    It really depends on who is making the jacket. If it's a high end designer I'd pay about 800ish

    No. This kind of reminds me of bartering in Mexico. Vendor propses ludicrous price for item...you counter with exceptionally low offer and end up getting item for about 10x less than initial offer. Yet the tradition continues as there is always someone who will bite for that initial offer. In walks Paris Hilton...

    Considering decent leather jackets aren't anywhere near 1300 the price makes no sense unless those tablet covers are made of silver

    Jacket would need to be at least +2 to make me consider at that price point.

    That jacket doesn't even look particularly good, I wouldn't but that no matter the price.

    Now that we've established I wouldn't but it, I'd even go as far as to say I wouldn't buy it either.

    I'd buy it, if I somehow had $1300 cash to just throw around, but thats about as likely as me meeting Big Boss, or riding Luto.

    If I had $1300 lying around I'd build myself a beastly new computer.

    Besides, I'm a big and extremely tall guy. I'm 6'9". I'd need at least a 3XL size jacket, and I'm betting not a single one of those jackets will be even 2XL.

    Your annoyed their making something that no one has to buy if they dont want to? this is like people who say that LE and CEs are scams, despite the fact that the only people that buy them are people that want them.

    gamers need to get over themselves.

    I'm another person who isn't going to buy this. I'm sure there's a fan out there that would.

    If I was rich I wouldnt buy a damn $1300 jacket, leather, themed, high end designer name, etc; Bought my 1st car, used, for $200, my 2nd, used, for $800, that leaves $100 to spare between 2 cars.
