Leave it to Capcom's e-capcom storefront to produce something this audacious. The Biohazard 6 Premium Edition on PlayStation 3 is a Japan-exclusive limited edition that shipped with a full wearable Leon Kennedy leather jacket in your choice of size, plus a complete set of four Biohazard 6 tablet case covers. Read that again.

A leather jacket. Not a replica, not a costume piece for conventions. An actual leather jacket styled after Leon's iconic look from the game.

This is the kind of collector's edition that existed in a brief, beautiful window when Japanese premium editions were competing to be the most extravagant physical product on the market, and Capcom decided to win that race decisively. The tablet cases round out the set with artwork spanning the game's multiple campaigns, but we all know why anyone hunted this down. The jacket turns a collector's edition into something you can actually wear out into the world, a subtle nod to fellow fans who recognize the silhouette.

Finding one of these complete, with the jacket in good condition and the correct sizing, is a genuine treasure hunt. The e-capcom exclusivity means production numbers were tight from day one. For Resident Evil collectors, this is a grail-tier PS3 release that sits at the intersection of gaming memorabilia and fashion.

It's absurd, it's extravagant, and it's everything a premium edition should be.
