Capcom Officially Knocks Down Resident Evil Revelations Price To $40
by January 27, 2012 @ 3:08 pm
Up in arms over the premium asking price for Resident Evil Revelations? Good news, Capcom is bringing it down to a more reasonable $40 — the standard going rate for new portable releases on 3DS. Previously, it was $50.
Apparently, after weeks of negotiation, Capcom was able to pull a few strings over at Nintendo HQ to bring down the cost. Revelations ships on a 4GB game cartridge, which is more expensive to produce. Somehow, though, we have a feeling the vocal outcry from fans had something to do with Capcom’s proactive stance on this too.
For those keen on pre-ordering, it may take a week or so before retailers update their product listings to reflect the price drop. At least one retailer – GameStop – is already showing it at $39.99.
Revelations hits US retailers next month on February 7.
