First teased last week at CES 2009, the Collector’s Edition will be available on day one of the game shipping Friday, March 13, 2009 – for a limited time only. Gamers can already pre-order the collectible set starting today at the Capcom store at www.capcom.com.

On launch date, the set will be available at all major retailers in North America with a price of $89.99 for the Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3.

The box will include a Tricell messenger bag, Chris Redfield figurine, BSAA patch and Kijuju-inspired pendant. Bringing the entire collection together is a custom made steel case with special art showcasing signature elements of the RE5 campaign – the Kijuju writings, ominous number five and two-player co-op. Inside the steel case will be a two disc set including the game and bonus disc with additional special features. The Making of Resident Evil 5 feature, first shown at the TGS 2008, will be released on the bonus disc for the first time.
