3.0 out of 5 stars Evil Within Metal, February 2, 2005

~(OLLE(TOR'S T|N PERSPECTIVE~

While I can acknowledge, along with every other gamer, that "Resident Evil 4" is a great gamecube title, is the Collector's Tin worth the extra dies dolares (10 bucks in spanish) added from the original price? That depends.

The Collector's Tin has a solid metal packaging that's looks cool in its overall red pallete with a rough title logo, even though it's not exactly rigid to take on heavy damage, and the "Gamestop" logo on the front can be bothersome to look at. Other than the game itself, the Tin also contains a mini-art book, which is actually a 22-page digest recaping on the past RE games other than an actual art book. It also includes an authentic cel art of Leon. Because of the size of the package, however, the cel art is short and the art isn't exactly high-res. For those who are think about the free soundtrack it offers, BE WARN. This "Resident Evil 4" soundtrack is actually A MUSIC SAMPLER CONTAINING 6 METAL SONGS FROM THE RESIDENT EVIL MOVIES. So if you're hoping for some ambient tracks from the game, don't bother with this soundtrack offer.

Overall, is it worth it? Personally, this item doesn't do justice, becuase I thought the Collector's Tin would have more oomph in its inclusions, but what it has, it doesn't offer much. If you're THAT big of a "Resident Evil" fan and the packaging and what it offers looks cool, go ahead and spend it. Gamers should rather save the ten bucks and get the original game.

JUGDEMENT: Avoid.

5.0 out of 5 stars 10 bucks extra, not too shabby for hard core RE fans!!!, February 10, 2005

I bought the Resident Evil Bonus Tin and have to say that it "can" be worth it! If you're a resident evil fan and willing to blow 10 extra buck for the Tin case (Somewhat fragile), a limited edition "laser" cell art card along with a "CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY" which there are only 48000 of it out there, a 20 page prologue book, of course the game (2-disc), and a bonus CD containg samples from the Resident evil movies.

Not too bad thinking about the cost of an extra $10 to get all that with the game. Again, Resident evil fans such as myself would use the extra $10 to get all that and keep as a collection item, not opening the laser cell art card, keeping all the items in the tin but of course, open the game and play it and just treasure something that's hard to find now!

So buyers, if you're a Resident evil fan, why not use an extra $10 to get all the ones I mentioned above? It's nice to keep! To tell you the truth, all those items together should cost more than $10 but hey, maybe Capcom is being generous for such a wonderful game and comeback after all the other generic substitutions of other resident evil games out there such as "Outbreak" and "Dead Aim!"

You might want to think about it before you go crazy that there are none out there except maybe on Ebay!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awsome Tin, January 29, 2005

I pre ordered this tin along with three others for Christmas gifts and when we got them it's a awsome gift and game. The tin is cool coming with a laser printed picture and a history book of the Resident Evil series. I pre ordered mine and it came with a soundtrack which I don't know if it comes with this one. I reccomend buying this though best game ever played through the whole thing twice now. Just buy it you'll never regret it.
