Resident Evil 6 Premium Edition costs £817

Includes Leon's leather jacket.

Capcom has announced the Resident Evil 6 Premium Edition, one of the most expensive video game special editions of all time.

Currently limited to Japan, the Resident Evil 6 Premium Edition will cost 105,000 yen.

That's £817.

The Premium Edition includes the game, a set of four case covers and, best of all, Leon Kennedy's funky new leather jacket (now available to pre-order in Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large sizes), reports Siliconera.

Leon is set to model a dark and rugged looking number in Resident Evil 6, with a dashing looking collar and pockets to spare. It's far removed from the snug fleece-lined coat he wore in Resident Evil 4.

Each of the Premium Edition's case covers will sport one of the protagonists revealed thus far: Leon, Chris Redfield and Wesker offspring Jake Muller. The fourth cover features a "secret" design yet to be revealed. Hmm.

Capcom yesterday announced a new release date for the game: 2nd October. Martin Robinson previewed Resident Evil 6 to find out more.
