It seems that a small amount of Resident Evil 6 copies have been stolen somewhere in Europe and now the thieves who somehow acquired the games are now selling them. Originally it was thought that a retailer in Poland had simply broken street date by a month but Capcom has confirmed that these games were actually stolen.
In a statement to Eurogamer, Capcom stated that they are ” currently undertaking a thorough investigation into reports that Resident Evil 6 is being sold ahead of its official October 2 release date” and at the moment all the company 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.” Currently a copy of the title is on eBay, though who knows how long that will legitimately stay up at this point.
