Resident Evil 6 Leather Jacket Edition detailed, priced

Capcom’s revealed that the Resident Evil 6 Leather Jacket Edition is now available for pre-order for the wallet-draining price of £899.

The bundle can be found on the publisher’s recently-opened U.K. online store, where you also find a host of other goodies up for grabs.

In addition to the jacket, the bundle also features a copy of the hotly-anticipated horror sequel, four tablet cases, three Mercenaries maps and a set of stickers.

Those of you who have been following our coverage of Resident Evil 6 may recall that the jacket – modelled after the same one worn in-game by Leon S. Kennedy – was previously made available for pre-order in Japan, where it costs about £817.

"Leon’s replica leather jacket from Resident Evil 6 is made of high quality cowhide leather," the product description reads. "The jacket is an authentic recreation from the game and is fully endorsed by the Capcom Resident Evil 6 Development team.

"It’s designed to be close-fitting and it has DSO logo and Leon’s name tag inside. The jacket not only looks good, but also is practical as it has six pockets outside and two inside."

Resident Evil 6 will be infecting stores worldwide on October 2, 2012 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
