This seems stupid. I went to Amazon to go find you guys a deal (Resident Evil 10th Anniversary Collection) I remember for the Gamecube which packaged Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil and Resident Evil 0 all together for 29.99 and then found out Capcom took it off the market. I guarantee it was so they could sell these for exorbitent prices.

That was a temporary GameStop (and EB which GS now owns) exclusive.  It's discontinuation is unrelated to the new games.  It was also $39.99, not $29.99.

 

You can buy a copy on Amazon but expect to pay far more than these titles individually.

New - $299
Used - $140

 

How do you know it's unrelated? I've noticed the PS2 three pack is still available. I'm not saying it's definitly connected but judging by the PS2 pack still being on the market it definitly swings heavily in that direction. Do you have any proof it's not because you seem awfully sure of it.

 

Resident Evil: The Essentials (RE4/Code Veronica X/RE Outbreak) was released in late 2007 but was not a limited edition with retailer exclusivity like RE 10th Anniversary Collection was.

 

I know the discontinuation is unrelated because I talked to Capcom about the collection back when they released it.  It was designed as a short run only.
