48 Screenshots RE5

These images focus on the first three chapters of the game, and we can see action sequences extracted directly from that part of the game, characters like Irving and Josh, and also some of the enemies to the end that we have faced during this game.

I just noticed that there are 2 new Bio5 editions at Playasia.

Biohazard 5 Premium Limited Box (I presume for PS3)

Xbox 360 Biohazard 5 Premium Pack

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-bq-77-k-49-en-15-%22Resident+Evil+5%22-70-38mq.html

The price and contents of these are a mystery still but they are different to the 'e-capcom limited editions'.

No, they have been there for a long time. I think they are the first entries they put in for the Biohazard e-Capcom packages, and for some reason created new ones when more information became available about the e-Capcom boxes. I think those are discarded pages which should have been deleted.

Just to clear up the confusion:
These are the console packs we have seen before.
I've seen a couple of other sites importing them. You can get the PS3 pack imported to America for about $600.
