What's the track record for "Limited" Steelbook volumes for games like RE6?

I want to pre-order just the Steelbook version, which is currently same price as the standard edition (£40), but only if its truly limited to a reasonable degree!

...what's the chance of seeing the RE6 SB on amazon for £25, 2 months after release day?

I don't think you can really figure out which steelbooks will become super rare after launch. The only ones i've seen in recent memory that will probably cost crazy amounts in Borderlands 2, because it sold out in like 10 minutes .

The RE5 steel was pretty simple to get a hold of, and i'm pretty sure RE6 won't be any different. It's pretty much Capcom's biggest game series, so they want people to be able to get their hands on the SE/CE.

I think it's fair to assume that pretty much 90% of all VG steels are available years after the game's original release, for cheap prices. The only problems here is that you might get a scratched/dented steel, or end up missing out on one that was cheap, but is now super expensive (Mirror's Edge).

So I guess that's the long answer.
Short answer : It's highly likely to see it being easily available and fairly cheap in 2 months, but considering that it's pretty cheap as is, i'd just buy it to be safe.

Thanks Liad.

... I might wait then, as i also want to know if there are going to be any technical differences between the PS3 and xbox versions.

Is the limited edition steelbook the same one like the collectors edition steelbook?

 

[TheChamillinator]

Yes it's the same version. I don't know about this edition being released in the US though, we usually never get editions with clothes in them. I have a feeling we will either get a dumbed down version or not at all but we have to get something for a game this big I would think.

I do want this version but am not sure if I should wait in hopes for some kind of US version or just get it now?

I was wondering the same thing and I'm unfortunately thinking the RE6 Archives/Anthology in the US instead of a big CE like this. But we'll see I guess.

Here in the states we are getting a "Resident Evil 6 Anthology Edition" for the PS3 which has RE 1-5 as downloadable games as well as a regular version of just the game. My question is, I wonder if this version will include those bonus games as well I hope I don't have to purchase BOTH versions! Either way, they are BOTH worth the money! These editions are AWESOME!

 

[ocielz]

^^^ all the bonuses from these editions(from other countries) can't be used in the US you need to have an account from that country.

You just made my credit card cry!

Looks like I'll just get the "Steelbook Only" edition and get the Anthology Edition here in the states...That anthology edition is too good to pass up!

 

[Soundwave GI]

I'd assume this will find it's way to N.A...the steelbook anyway. We've gotten one for Resident Evil 4 (PS2 and Wii), RE5 (PS3 and 360, and RE Raccoon city (PS3 and 360). Good bet we'll get at least the steel here.
