Compared to limited edition products from other categories and manufacturers, It's not that expensive.

Look:

As mentioned before we don't set price on any of our titles thats the retailers decision. Legally we're unable to instruct what a price should be set to. What i would say is that we're in Europe and you should shop around, you might find it cheaper to purchase elsewhere.

aye man ur totally right. i usually buy my games online its usually cheaper online anyway. however that price tag of £129.99 is beyond ridiculous. i really wanted the avatar and that hoodie. but looks like i wont be getting it

Your linking to graphics cards? What the hell? How about compare to other games special editions which offer a lot more content for a much small price.

As I pointed out already, the Uncharted 3 Fortune Hunter Edition as an example.

It wasn't a direct comparison, My point was that Collectors/Limited Edition products are dedicated to collectors and the loyal/enthusiast fanbase, and they tend to be expensive. I'm not saying RE6CE is dirt cheap, actually I think It's a bit (10 eu) expensive, but not that expensive.

If you want the CE, just wait a bit longer.

Dedicated ? To who ? To some stupid people who throw their money away for something they dont need at all ? True, that is right.

And its also true, compare this CE with other CE, lets say Halo Reach Legendary Edition. It was cheaper and you get a huuuuuuge statue. RE6 has a hoodie which is probably worth 10€, the emblems which will have the most value, but are very useless.... and the rest is not even worth mentioning.

Also, compare the EU CE with the Anthology/Archives Editions in the US, Anthology/Archives Editions get a lot of better things ( Anthology : RE 1,2,3,4HD, 6 - Archives : 4HD, CVX HD, 5 Gold, Degeneration movie and 6 ) to a cheaper price ( 90$ ).

So, you can look and think about it how you want, but a price of 150€ for THIS is just a joke. But, as we all know capcom, they need more money, like always.

Capcom doesn't launch CE in Europe => people complain

Capcom launches CE in Europe => people moan about the price...

If you find too expensive, don't buy it. You can get the normal edition. No harm done to you nor to your pocket.

Its due the exclusive retailers the the price is up,i guess that when CE Store is open it will be much cheaper also in countries without a exclusive retailer aswell.

Anyway its a big start and things may not always be perfect but over time things will be corrected.

Because at this price we may as well not have a CE? Take away the cost of the steelbook and we're left with £85-90 for the rest.

It is barely worth £35. You just don't get much and it isn't like it top quaity stuff offered.

So as an educated consumer who recognised an attempted mugging for a price I will voice complaints everytime Capcom does this until we finally get CEs for games at reasonable prices.

Other companies manage it all the time, I don't know why Capcom keeps having problems. Capcom not allowed to set the price? Well find out why so many other companies manage to release CEs with better content and much lower prices then.

Making it exclusive didn't help at all, no price competitition then between retailers, going with GAME was probably even worse since they well known for being expensive anyway plus with exclusives they crank the price up, also well known for that. GAME wanted £60 for the SFxT CE, other retailers were selling it £42-45, when the exclusive Mass Effect 3 N7 Edition fell through it could be found £15-20 cheaper at the other retailers it went to, this is what GAME is.
