Retailer Amazon.com on Wed. sold out of Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox 360 Elite Limited Edition SKU that includes Capcom Co.'s Resident Evil 5 on high demand for the product.

On Wed., the item was available for purchase only through a third-party retailer at price above the MSRP.

The RE5 Xbox 360 Elite SKU includes a red color console, red wireless controller, 120GB hard drive, and a token card including Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix and exclusive Resident Evil Premium Theme for $399.99.

Additionally, this week Amazon price cut Resident Evil 5 for the Xbox 360 and Sony Corp.'s Playstation 3 to $53.99.

Capcom this month said that the first download content for Resident Evil 5 will be a new online Versus mode.

The paid digital download content will pit up to four players against each other in online battles.

Versus mode will include two game types – Slayer's Rule and Survivor's Rule.

Slayer's Rule is a point-based game to kill Majinis, while Survivor's Rule is a hunting game in either one-on-one or two-on-two matches.

The title includes a Mercenaries mini-game at no additional cost.

Capcom in Feb. said that more than 1.8 million Xbox Live members downloaded the RE5 demo.

Resident Evil 5 was released in standard and Collector's Edition SKUs on Mar. 13.

The RE5 bundle has been selling out all week like this since it hit last week. Bundle copies are going to make for a decent portion, but I have to agree with earlier comments as NPD is going to likely show a very different story and I hope we get some bundle numbers. Albeit rare they sometimes will share those.
