And along with the slew of news comes the annoucement of a Japan-only $1000 collector's edition.
Yes folks, you've read that right. A thousand US bucks, which will net you an actual leather replica of Leon's swanky jacket. (There something about a table cloth, but seriously, that's not where most of the money you're paying is going to.)
IMO the price isn't much of a shocker, when you consider how much a typical branded leather jacket goes for. If someone is willing to put down that money, they should already know they'll be paying for the jacket, not the game. That said, for that kind of asking price, the texture of the leather best be silky smooth and the finish of premium grade, because the design ain't exactly knocking any balls out of the park.
