Resident Evil 7 Collector’s Edition is Cool But Has a Scary Price Tag

The official Resident Evil 7 Collector’s Edition has been revealed and it looks awesome despite the expensive price tag.

There were rumors about a Resident Evil 7 Collector’s Edition a few days back. However, we now have confirmation of the items and retail price. The R.E 7 Collector’s edition will include:

• The Resident Evil 7 base game
• A replica of the Baker mansion. It is an 8” tall music box that’ll play a sample of Aunt Rhody with accompanying LED effects
• A Dummy Finger that is actually a 4G USB Drive
• An Exclusive Metal Case
• A VHS Tape Box meat for storing the Dummy Finger
• An Exclusive Lithograph showing the Baker family
• A Creepy Note from one of the in-game mansion residents
• Premium Packaging

The Collector’s Edition will retail for $179.99. You can purchase it on 24^th January 2017. While I do think the upcoming Collector’s Edition looks cool, especially the Baker mansion replica, the price is a bit too much.

If you’re someone who wants to own Resident Evil merchandise but you’re on a budget then you should consider checking out the Funko Pop! line. The first wave will be available by mid-January and contains Jill, Leon, and a whole bunch of monsters.

Resident Evil 7 will be available for the PC, PS4 and Xbox One. Players will control a protagonist named Ethan. The gameplay is from a first-person perspective. The story is set about 4 years after the events of Resident Evil 6. Ethan’s search for his missing wife will lead him to the mysterious Baker mansion and horrors will ensue.

While I’m looking forward to playing R.E 7 I’m also a bit wary because I’m not a fan of first-person perspective gameplay. Let’s see how I feel about the title after I’ve played it.

Are you excited about R.E 7? Will you be buying the Resident Evil Collector’s Edition? Let us know.
