Following a street broken Killzone 2, we now hear of Resident Evil 5 also getting leaked out of retailers in Dubai prior to its release date. While everyone else gets the game on March 13 (another Friday the 13th, mind you), lucky folks in Dubai can already cash in on a copy of RE5 in certain stores.

Though the pics below show the PS3 version, we assume that the Xbox 360 version is also made available.*Update* Nope, it's not. Azuman/Katsimoto has confirmed that the PS3 version is the only one available at the moment.

Yeah, it's not much of a surprise nowadays. Highly anticipated games more often than not get street broken. It may be frowned upon in the retailer industry, but it's one clear sign that (if you're a developer/publisher) your game is that highly in demand.

Thanks to Hamad for the tip!

» Xbox 360 RE5 are not out

I gotta say, RE5 PS3 are the one available, so no Xbox 360 at this time.

So.. you're Katsimoto on the PS forums?



Can you confirm the Xbox 360 not being released also? Maybe in some other stores, they also have it there... Unless of course the PS3 versions were shipped earlier, thus making it possible that it's only the PS3 versions that are available as of now.



Thanks for the info, man!

Honestly, I dont really care about this game, and I say that as a major RE fan. After playing the demo, this looks like an action game, not a survival horror game. I'm looking forward to getting Silent Hill Homecoming when I get some money, not this.

They look real, but what I don't get is... in the third pic, it says RE5 on the disc and manual, yet on the reverse side of the cover it says Biohazard 5, which happens to also be a front cover. As far as I know, I don't think that would ever happen.

I forgot to add that there is no ESRB rating. I'm not saying it's fake, I'm just saying where the hell is at? It's an M rated game and it's not on the cover.

Ok, well that would explain the ESRB, but what about the cover insert.
