Resident Evil Steelbooks (1-4) Walmart Exclusive

[apsmith21]

Thanks to kaliraver for this heads up...

Walmart in the United States will be receiving the following steelbooks on 8/31 (this Tuesday)

Resident Evil
Resident Evil: Apocalypse
Resident Evil: Extinction
Resident Evil: Degeneration (animated)

These steelbooks are exactly the same as those previously released by Future Shop
in Canada. Meaning that they are BLU-RAY SIZED.

Some folks have already provided pictures of these steelbooks with the Walmart cardboard and price stickers (I would imagine some stores broke the street date)

The best thing? These steelbooks should cost you around $15 each.

I think the price is right.

1- haha to the canadian scalpers who were trying to get 2 arms and 2 legs.
2- god damn it, now we'll have USA scalpers trying to do the same damn thing.
3- that's actually pretty cool, i'm a huge fan of the RE series. that said, i already have all 4, and i don't want to repurchase them, just for packaging.

#1 - have you seen the prices they are going for on e-bay? holy cow - I saw this coming though, just not at Walmart. Disney part 1...yet again. lol

#2 - big time. Then the ebay guys will have too much stock and sell them @ $10 each. lol.

#3 - I'm just happy that they are not DVD sized steelbooks.

easy profiteering here, yes, but i'm not gonna touch it. i think preying on people isn't cool. lucking out, and buying something that turns valuable is one thing, but buying out entire store inventories just to make a few bucks is douchey. pass costs through, do people favors, don't just be greedy, folks.

ah well.

no, i haven't seen the ebay prices. i'll go check it out.

Sweet. Will definitely get the first and maybe Degeneration.

[cheez avenger]

I already have the trilogy. Still need to get Degeneration.

[Nightfury82]

I may swing by to pick up Degeneration. Have the German trilogy.

I'll pass just because there's no guarantee that Afterlife will have a steelbook. That's why I didn't buy the Pirates of the Caribbean steelbooks at Best Buy. Plus I put Extinction into a double case to hold the GameStop exclusive bonus disc.

i picked up all four. nice!

I'm hearing that Afterlife WILL be released in a steelbook at Futureshop Canada.

I picked up the set at a local wal mart today!

Picked up all 4 today. My trilogy is available if anybody is looking. All 3 movies are sealed, and it has the outer slip.

I bought the set of 4 today as well. Can anyone confirm that these are rare/limited or are they a general release with usual restock?

[Bane]

My local store didn't even know what I was talking about.
