Resident Evil Revelations 2 is cross-buy for those who pre-order the game from US PSN! (EXPIRED)

UPDATE: EXPIRED. The first episode is already released.

NOTE: The crossbuy privilege is also available for those who purchase from Mexico and Latin American PSN stores. No information of crossbuy in the other regions.

Capcom Unity announced that the latest Resident Evil game is also PS4/PS3 cross-buy for those who pre-order the game in North American PSN store (US/CA). The offer will expire when Episode 1 release at 24th. If you already pre-ordered PS4 or PS3 version before, you're good to go. But for those who pre-ordered both version should contact Sony immediately to get a refund, as long as the pre-order was made under 90 days.

In addition to the PS3/PS4 version of the console, if you pre-order the game you will get the Raid Mode Stage Pack.

Here is the link, it will redirect you to the PS4 version, since the link for PS3 version is under maintenance (will be ready by 22nd). The game is priced for $24.99 (in both US and Canadian Dollar)

Resident Evil® Revelations 2 - Complete Season US PSN Store

Resident Evil® Revelations 2 - Complete Season CA PSN Store

The game release date is February 24th so you will need to wait until that date (in PST) to start playing. At the same time, the crossbuy privilege is over.

It is worthy to note that Canadian PSN store priced the game at CA$24.99 which is around US$20, or around US$5 cheaper than US PSN. You might want to purchase it from Canadian PSN store instead, if you have a membership there.

If you prefer physical version, it's too bad since the retail box set won't be available until next month. But no worries, you can start to pre-order the bluray version too, not cross-buy though.

Reminder: Resident Evil Remastered ($20) preorder now on PSN US for Crossbuy privilege. Link included.

UPDATE: Crossbuy deal has expired in both UK and US PSN.
NOTE: Keep scrolling for the Bluray version.

Good news for Resident Evil fans, the first Resident Evil game is remastered in HD for PS3, PS4, 360 and XBox One. However you need to know that this is based on the Resident Evil remake for Gamecube, itself is based on the original PSOne game.


We have covered the original Japanese PS3 digital version and the link to purchase just about one month ago. And now it is less than 10 days until Resident Evil Remastered launch date on January 20th on PSN US for $20.

This price will entitle you to only one digital version you choose. However, if you preorder the game now, you will get both PS4 and PS3 version for only $20, as announced by Capcom Unity, complete with exclusive bonus theme for your PlayStation console.

What's better is that it was not long ago since the game is available for pre-loading, means you can download now and play it on the launch date. The game size is 14.2MB (both PS3 and PS4 version). Without further delay here is your link to US PSN preorder:

Resident Evil Remastered (PS3) Preorder (Crossbuy with PS4)

Resident Evil Remastered (PS4) Preorder (Crossbuy with PS3)
Get it from UK PSN here: Resident Evil Remastered (PS3/PS4 Bundle) Expired. 

PSN US Pros:

• Offering two version of the game at the price of one. Meaning it is only $10 for each game.
• The cheapest from all PSN store, UK priced at £16 ($24) and not crossbuy.
• Available to preload now. You can download now and play it on 20th.

PSN US Cons:

• You have to wait until 20th then you can start playing your game.
• No physical blurays for US region, meaning if you eventually bought an Asian or Japanese bluray version, your progress and trophies may not transfer.

Still if money and language are not your issue. You may get the PS3 version Now (and I mean today, this exact time) from JP PSN here:

Biohazard HD Remaster (PS3)

PSN JP Pros:

• PS3 version available now! And completely in English (incl its trophies).
• Got physical blurays version, your progress and trophies will be compatible.

PSN JP Cons:

• More expensive than US PSN, $33.6 for just one version instead of crossbuy.
• PS4 version not available. Will be available on 20th along with US release.
• A lot more hassle to navigate Japanese PSN, although the game you want is in English, the store itself is in Japanese.

However we do not really recommend the PSN JP option economically, since the price is not much cheaper compared to the physical bluray version ($38), you can get the Biohazard HD Remaster PS3 Bluray from play-asia.

And if you'd like the PS3 Bluray version with English title "Resident Evil" and English manual, you can get the Asian version also from play-asia.
