Yesterday's Resident Evil 5 news from Famitsu felt like a horde of zombies hitting a huge industrial fan. While some may still be a bit miffed about the whole demo's 360-exclusivity in Japan (bah, don't worry, it's non-exclusive elsewhere), another bit of info from Famitsu was the Resident Evil 5 Limited Edition. Or, since we're talking about Japan here, the Biohazard 5 Limited Edition.

From yesterday's report: It's going to be exclusively available on Capcom's e-portal. JPÂ¥ 12,800 (around US$ 135) for the limited edition gets you the following:

32-page all color art book (with staff commentary)
BSAA waist pouch (like what Chris Redfield wears in the game)
2GB USB memory card shaped like an anti virus item from the game
packaged in a deluxe box

Today we finally get to see the damned thing. The dates you see at the top pic indicate (if my presumptions are correct) the pre-order schedule - meaning, those who want to get the limited edition only have a limited time to place their pre-order for it on the e-Capcom online store: specifically from December 1 to 16 only.

No word if the Limited Edition - or maybe just some of the items included in it - will ever make it across the Pacific, but for now, this bundle is only for Japan (and for both versions of the game - the PS3 and Xbox 360).

The e-Capcom store is just ahead, via the source link below. Meanwhile, here are other pics of what the bundle includes:

I've always thought that waist pouches are so last decade and all (maybe two decades now), but man, I wouldn't mind having Chris Redfield's gear - yeah, he's kick-ass like that - might come handy for some cosplayers too.

Capcom's Resident Evil 5 for the PS3 and Xbox 360 is to be released on March 13.

This story sucks? This story rocks!

Cool for the die hard fans (I'm a fan, but I'm never a fan enough to buy those kind of things).

Maybe if the game was 59,99$ and the "deluxe" packages was 69,99$ or MAX 79,99$... I don't think I'd buy it for 80$ but for 70$ it would be a no-brainer for me, lol. Still, with all the games we need to buy early next year, I'll need every penny :D. White Knight Story, FF13, RE5, PoP (end of this year), Star Ocean 4, Street Fighter 4, etc...
