Is it that German "Resident Evil Shop"? They always overcharge. You can pick that up for less than a dollar on Yahoo Japan usually.

Got my High-def, Blue Ray, RE-trilogy today. It took friggin ages, which is unusual for Amazon. Not only that, I was lucky to get it at all because the dumb-ass postal worker put it in the wrong mail box! A neighbor was kind enough to track me down and give it to me.
Anyhoo, it gave me time to buy and read the Extinction novel. I quite enjoyed it, which was a surprise (my imagination is probably better than the director's product). I didn't realize that Jill was still in the story.
Gonna watch it later tonight

Oh, and I made my 1st ever 'sig'... It looked okay before I had to shrink and compress it down so much. How on earth do you guys make those big fancy ones with a limit of 19.5kb?

Jill is in the story for Extinction in the novel? Mind explaining? I'm not likely to ever bother reading the novel, unless this is actually interesting.

The novel is different in many ways...
Some characters don't return, and some are explained why they're not in it.
Jill is only in it for a little bit, so I've heard.
There are other minor differences.
SLIGHT SPOILER OF RE:E STORY/NOVEL:
Spoiler:

show spoiler

K-Mart is 14 and she reveals the name she "disliked" in the novel, not sure what the name was; she also is revealed to have a crush on Carlos.
None of this is mentioned in the film, her age nor name was revealed..

END SPOILER

No it isn't the RE Shop
But I can't buy at Yahoo Japan.

If anyone whant to buy it for me there, if it is really so cheap, I where really happy.

The one will get some extra cash for it , too ;)

Yep, Jill's story takes up about a third of the novel. I was confused because I heard she wasn't in the new movie. I watched it last night and she's not.
In the book, one chapter will be about Umbrella's base, the next about Jill who's traveling alone, then Alice who's also traveling alone, then Claire/Carlos/LJ and the convoy. Jill's story continues throughout the whole book. She's meets up with some other survivors in a city, helps them defeat some 'bad dudes' who are hoarding supplies and is then convinced to stay on as a leader...
The books are written from the scripts/screenplays. It's normal for a novel to have more details and information than the film and also common for slight changes to be made during filming or in editing. But I'm not sure what's gone on with the Extinction novel vs film.
The film has no scenes or even mentions of Jill at all. It was either written from an early script which was later changed or the author decided to add the Jill story to pad out the book or please fans. Perhaps they decided to scrap the Jill story because of time or budget constraints or maybe they couldn't get the sexy Sienna Guillory back... Her story is quite good and it would have been a better film with it included.
I thought the movie was okay, even though It's got bugger all to do with Resident Evil anymore. Claire (looked nothing like her) and Wesker both sucked (since when was Claire a hard ass, military style 'leader'?). The setting, with the world being consumed by the T-virus would make a good game. Running around a half buried Las Vegas, GTA style would be fun.

If you're interested it's worth a read. The book is cheap... I read a lot at work when I've got night shifts, so I'm always looking for things to read (so my employers paid me to read it ).

Well, I know for the first movie (Genesis) the atuhour spent the first chunk of the book exploring and explaining events before the outbreak. It was actually more interesting to read that bit than the movie part.

Amusing, Apocolpse starts with the ending sections of Genesis and remains faithful throughout, mostly. I guess you just can't polish a turd no matter what you might do, so why try?

It sounds interesting enough to be worth getting from the library. The third movie didn't want me to demand seppuku from people.
