One less reason to go there, then.

For some people it's the only option. Ireland, for example, you have Gamestop and Smyths, with the later not always having collectors editions.

Amazon. Ebay. (Walmart/Tesco.)

Amazon you have various EU ones, but they don't usually have collectors editions. Tesco doesn't even sell games bar a couple of oldies here and there. Ebay is 100% scalpers. Walmart doesn't exist in Ireland.

So... Back to my original statement.

I thought Tesco was Walmart. Turns out that it was Asda instead, before they sold most of it last year. And apparently it didn't have ops in Ireland anyway. Well then, guess you're buying through Gamestop's online store if you want your PVC figurine.

Yeah. It just sucks for those that don't want to avail to online purchases or pre-ordered in store. We have less and less choice.

I'm curious how this will fare against the original. Capcom has been on a roll since Resident Evil 7.

With them running out of mainline Resident Evil games to remake, hopefully we get the coveted Dino Crisis reboot in the near future.

They do if Ireland has ASDA
