According to a translation of an official Capcom announcement, Resident Evil fans will have a few SKU choices to make when Resident Evil 5 hits both the PS3 and Xbox 360 next year.
First of all, there are console specific bonuses that come with the standard editions of Resi 5. The PS3 version gets a behind-the-scenes making-of video (apparently created by “Hollywood staff,” whatever that means), while an Xbox 360 ‘Deluxe Edition’ will ship with a metal case and a soundtrack CD. Once the ‘Deluxe Edition’ runs out, the Xbox 360 standard edition will contain only the game, while the PS3 standard edition has the making of video on the same disc as the game.
Besides the choice between which console you’ll be buying the game for, you’ll also be faced with the option of buying the ‘Limited Edition’ of Resident Evil 5. This edition comes with a 2 GB memory stick (shaped like an in-game object), a 32-page art book as well as a waist pouch (also shaped like an in-game pouch), all contained within a fancy box.
Resident Evil 5 is coming next year March to both Xbox 360 and PS3. For previous El33tonline coverage, head on over here. Images of the Limited Edition items can be found below:

Sucks their not releasing a wii version
Can't handle the graphics by all accounts, not even the intro so the story goes. It sucks that they seem to be making more and better games for the Wii rather than the PS3/Xbox! that's what sucks!
Maybe they'll do a port at a later time, using an engine specific to the Wii, like they're doing with Dead Rising. Same game (well, for the most part), different engine.
Unless there are any graphics effects necessary for gameplay in the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions (using shadows in some cool, unique way, for example) it could be possible to port Resi 5 'down.'
