Special editions of video games have been serious business in Japan for decades, often coming with soundtracks, art books, models, and other unique collectibles, and sometimes selling for hundreds of dollars. For its latest Resident Evil game, Capcom has put together a "premium edition" costing a whopping $1,300. For that price, you'd expect it to come with a game console to play it on, but instead you'll get… a jacket.

Releasing in Japan on October 4, the Resident Evil 6 (called Biohazard 6 there) premium edition includes a leather jacket based on the one worn by series protagonist and snazzy dresser Leon S. Kennedy. Also included are tablet covers featuring artwork of the game's three male leads — Leon, Chris, and Jake — plus a fourth "secret" design. The premium edition also includes the game, of course, which can be purchased separately along with a single tablet cover for a more reasonable $99.

Meanwhile, stores in the U.S. will be offering downloadable multiplayer levels for those who pre-order the game. It's scheduled for North American release on October 2 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
