Stolen Copies of Resident Evil 6 Hit the Streets! Capcom Not Happy!

Is it October 2nd already? I don't think so, but some stores have already been selling PS3 versions of the highly anticipated Resident Evil 6.

Although limited to a small number of discs available at a small number of outlets, the leak of the German version of the game was serious enough for Capcom to set up an investigation.

"Capcom is currently undertaking a thorough investigation into reports that Resident Evil 6 is being sold ahead of its official October 2 release date," said the publisher in a statement.

"At this time, all we can add is that it would appear this unfortunate incident is limited to a small quantity of stolen copies of the German USK PlayStation 3 version of the game."

It's even been seen on EBAY, but I wouldn't reccomend buying a stolen copy early. Capcom won't be happy, and it sounds like they are taking action.

What are your thoughts on this news? I love Resident Evil and would kill to play it now, but to steal it would be a no no. Tell us what you think in the comments. Don't be a Jimmy!

I'm not hyped for this game. I lost interest in the series after 4. Unless they go back to the original survival horror format I just don't care if this game shows up early or even if some one gives it to me for free.

If they have finished copies out there waiting it's crazy to hold on to it. I know they try to release them to certain dates and that the different countries get them in a certain order. But seriously why wait a month for something that's finished?

The game has gone gold, but it takes about a month to get ever disc made, distributed and put on shelves.
