Resident Evil: Revelations Drops To $40

Earlier today, Capcom announced that, instead of the higher price point of $50, their upcoming Resident Evil: Revelations will be sold at the standard 3DS price of $40. Brett Elston, Capcom Unity’s Online/Community Manager, stated in a post that “since the announcement of the $49.99 price point, we’ve spent weeks looking for a way to bring your cost down to standard 3DS pricing. Today we can finally confirm we were successful in this, and hope the reduced price encourages even more people to check out this strong entry in the Resident Evil canon.” Revelations launches in North America on February 7, 2012.

This is great news, as the high price was putting me off from Revelations a bit. I’ll try out the demo on my 3DS, then maybe head down and pre-order it.
