Evil Xbox on sale Friday 13 March – Zombies not far behind

Posted by admin on February 25th, 2009 at 02:17pm

Microsoft seems to be trying to create a Halo-type frenzy by releasing a Resident Evil 5 themed Red Xbox 360 Elite Console to coincide with the launch of the game on Friday 13th March.

If you’re not in the market for a new box, there’s also a Limited Edition Red Wireless Controller on sale now, though I prefer the RE Controller Faceplate – and it’s cheaper.

The release of RE5 seems to have flipped a switch somewhere because there appears to be an almost zombie-like determination to get on the bandwagon. Just a cursory look through Amazon’s catalog for RE5 related items found the following: the Elite Console, Wireless Controller and Controller Faceplate already mentioned; Resident Evil 5 standard edition and the Collector’s Edition; two different sets of Resident Evil faceplate and skinz – one featuring the Logo and the other the Characters; a cloth wall scroll featuring Chris and another featuring Sheva; The Complete Official Guide to Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 5 Limited Edition Collector’s Guide: The Complete Official Guide (really); dvds of Resident Evil: Degeneration (2008) and Resident Evil – Extinction – Widescreen Special Edition (2007); and a Canvas Messenger Bag to stuff it all in.

Phew.
