[spoiler=press release]

I bet you thought Resident Evil 5 couldn't get more awesome. Well guess what – it just did. Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition ships to store shelves today in North America and it's bursting at the seams with exciting new extras.



Everyone that's played Resident Evil 5 knows how amazing it is. For those that haven't picked it up yet, now is the perfect time to dive-in, assume control of Chris and Sheva and get to the bottom of the bioterrorism threat that is transforming innocent people into mindless, maddened creatures. On top of the original best selling game, you'll also get all additional content released to date.   Just take a look at all you get for one incredible purchase price of $49.99, wrapped nicely in special gold foil packaging:



New Episodes



LOST IN NIGHTMARES

Only previously viewed during cut scenes of Resident Evil, now play through the events leading up to the moment Chris Redfield thought he lost his partner forever.   Play as Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine and journey back to the infamous Spencer Mansion from the original Resident Evil. Try and solve its treacherous puzzles and search to uncover the secrets held inside.



DESPERATE ESCAPE

A fatigued but rescued Jill has collapsed.   Awoken by BSAA agent Josh Stone, play through their desperate escape from the Tricell facility, fighting off unrelenting waves of enemies in heart pumping blockbuster action as they race to assist Chris and Sheva in their final showdown with Albert Wesker. 



Costume Packs 1 and 2:

Players can experience Resident Evil 5 in a whole new way with four new character costumes which allow additional playability through both gameplay and cut scenes.



THE MERCENARIES REUNION



A new refresh of Mercenaries Mode, The Mercenaries Reunion brings 8 new playable characters and weapon load outs into the fray, providing players with additional challenges as they aim to shoot down as many enemies as they can within a limited time. Chain together your kills, extend your time and rack up the points. Featuring the most extreme weapon selections, The Mercenaries Reunion provides hours of new strategy induced kill sprees.

Obviously, I didn't copy/paste images. You can see them all online though. To me, RE5 being released as Gold this soon bothers me. I sort of think the people that bought it from the get go got shafted. Does this package interest any of you?

I love RE. I bought Lost in Nightmares... but uh... I'm not going to go buy Gold Edition for the rest of the stuff. >>
