A runaway hit since its introduction, the entire series has sold more than 27 million units worldwide, winning numerous awards and revolutionizing the survival horror genre.
 
In Resident Evil 5 Chris Redfield, returning Resident Evil hero, heads to Africa where the latest bioterrorism threat is literally transforming the people and animals of the city into mindless, maddened creatures.
 
He is joined by a new partner, Sheva Alomar, who lends her strength, intelligence and sharp-shooting skills to the mission.In order to survive, Chris and Sheva must work together to take on the challenges of discovering the truth behind this evil plot.

Last I heard, exclisivity meant exclusivity, not a weeks delay.

The thread title is so wrong. Next time put timed exclusive.



TO GOD BE THE GLORY

Whats the point of this? If you only own a ps3 or had neither console, would you buy a 360 now because the RE demo comes a week earlier? lol.

Perhaps Capcom owes M$ some for allowing them the rights to make Gears of Evil 5. I've ceased to care about Resident Evil after 4 anyway. It'll take a lot of convincing to get me to buy RE5

Thread already exists. And the article should mention "You get it 7 days earlier as long as you keep paying for what other players get for free" :D
