Pre-order bonuses have been around for a while now. Sometimes they’re pretty cool, and other times you get a pair of boxer shorts. GameCrazy’s pre-order bonus for Resident Evil 5 tops the boxer shorts in terms of weirdness, and I’m not sure if I want one or not.

Hit the jump to see it.

That’s right, it’s a “snow” globe. Well, it’s not even that because there’s no snow, it’s dirt or sand. It still makes little sense as to why this is a pre-order bonus for the game. Capcom is supposedly going to be announcing this tomorrow.

Off the top of my head, I can’t think of what pre-order bonus they should have given out, but had I been contemplating it, a snow globe would have never even shown up on the list I made.

What do you think? I bet this would look cool sitting on your desk, especially if you’re a huge Resident Evil fan, but wouldn’t you rather have something… cooler? For such a big-name game, you would think they’d give you a chainsaw or something.

Right now, it’s only GameCrazy that’s assured to have these. I guess we’ll find out tomorrow if everyone who pre-ordered from Gamestop will get a RE5 dirt globe to call their very own.
