I'm not entirely sure if you have to pay for the mercenaries as DLC in RE5, but the RE5 gold edition (there's also the Gold Move edition), exclusive to the PS3 (not sure), has all of the DLCs included in the disc. I think it also includes the mansion scenario thing plus Jills last escape or whatever its called.

Oh, yeah, also forgot, aside from having all the DLCs, the Gold Edition was cheaper than the original if memory serves me correctly. (at least it was in my local gamestore, the regular version was $5 more expensive)

Just got this game and its a lot of fun. Add me if any of you want. Friend code: 2921-9260-3113.

The real purpose for RE mercenaries3D is to be bundled with RE revelations for ~$50 in the future.

Done! Thanks guys.

I don't like the mercenaries mode in the RE's, but i'm glad to see that this game gets more and more credit in time.

EX Missions are kicking my ass royally! Barely got an A in EX-1, Barely got a B in EX-2 and EX-7, and the Super Salvador in EX-3 seems to be able to teleport! its like I hear him coming, turn around and see him, run away in the opposite direction, turn then BAM! he's there and instantly kills me. Its bad enough that the damn base majins have armor all over their body but cheezy super salvadors that teleports sucks balls! what makes it worse is that i cant keep up the combo coz the base majinis seem to be hiding all of the time. i go round and round and round only to find 5-6 of them standing in a corner CAMPING!

Yeah this game is underrated as me and my friends have clocked in over 100 hours. Go Rebecca! She owns too much!
