    Possibly to raise sales in the 360.

    But I think that (in japan) the PS3 version will dominate.

    Can't wait for this game /\_/\

    Honestly don't see why they'd bundle multi-platform games, even if it is a series like RE. :S Meh, perhaps like dwg said, it'll raise sales over in Japan.

      So people would buy this version over the other, and to attract people who are interested in the game but not necessarily have the console yet.

      And also, the collectors; but then again, there's no faceplate...

        Yeah but...this is Japan...PS3 dominates much more there. The only edge 360 has had is with the J-RPGs, and some games like Dead or Alive.

          Well it seems that Sony once again thwarted the 360 in japan.
          They have their own bundle AND a TriCell logo on the PS3?? Win.
