Spending $100, $200, or sometimes more on one video game’s collector’s edition definitely feels like an expensive endeavor. But if you really want to go all out on a single game, Capcom is offering the Biohazard Re:2 Premium Edition in Japan for a whopping 107,784 yen ($972). For those unaware, Biohazard Re:2 is Resident Evil 2’s Japanese name.
You’re probably wondering what you get for all of that money. The main attraction is the Biohazard Re:2 Qwertywriter S Lexington Typewriter Bluetooth Keyboard. Basically, it’s a wireless keyboard that is based off of the Lexington typewriter that appears in the game. You will also receive a complete set of four physical ink ribbons. Ink ribbons are a resource used with a typewriter in the original Resident Evil 2 in order to save your progress.
Added to this, this edition also comes with all of the contents from the previously announced Collector’s Edition, which includes:
- Resident Evil 2 Deluxe Edition
- Full Game
- Special Deluxe Packaging
- Extra DLC Pack Card
- Give Leon and Claire a new look or a blast from the past with unique costumes:

- “Ben’s File” Art Book
- A 32-page book left behind by Ben Bertolucci, a freelance journalist who makes an appearance in Resident Evil 2. This file contains photos and files documenting events after the Raccoon City tragedy, and was filed away as a highly confidential document by the U.S. government. It’s never been seen by the public… until now.
- Digital Soundtrack
- A voucher code for a 25-track album featuring new songs from the remake of Resident Evil 2, as well as a selection of arrangements from the original game.
