It's now officially launch day for Biohazard 5, or more commonly know as Resident Evil abroad, in Japan!  Thousands of Japanese have collectively lined up at gaming stores across Japan, eagerly waiting for their chance to pick up the title.  With dozens of bundle options to chose from, including limited editions, hardwared bundles, and dozens of other options, the Japanese will at least have time to think about what they want to pick up while they wait in line.

This is definitely one of those instances where pictures speak louder than words, so without further ado, check out some of the Japanese game shops(selected images courtesy Famitsu):

Resident Evil 5 may be out in Japan, but Westerners still have another week of waiting to go.  The latest entry of Capcom's popular franchise is due out next week, on March 13, for the PS3 and XBox 360.
