The best promotional item we’ve ever got at a gaming event was a The Last of Us-branded brick-shaped stress reliever, so that puts into perspective just how awesome Cyberpunk 2077’s giveaway at E3 2019 is. The incredible Samurai jacket – which is fully reversible – is selling on eBay for as much as $450, which is incredible.
But developer CD Projekt RED has implored fans not to pay the premium, as it intends to sell a version of the jacket on its own website – and while it hasn’t set a price yet, it won’t be charging anywhere near $400 for the item. How much would you pay for one of these tops? Wait patiently for an official listing in the comments section below.

Ahh, fully reversible. The hallmark of quality apparel.
Yeah don't buy this limited edition awesome looking jacket off ebay. Wait for the inferior version on CDPR merch store.
@Dubya75 Why would it be inferior?
These dudes are simply great.
“You want those jackets, too?
Just wait and don’t cave in to scalpers, we’re gonna make them available to everyone!”
I know it obviously benefits them, but still, a great, pro-consumer move.
I think I’ll have to start buying their games just to support them 😄
Maybe it’s $450 because it’s that exact jacket worn by Hideo Kojima. It may even still have his scent if he hasn’t laundered it yet. If so it should be selling for 10 times that price.
@kyleforrester87 My underwear is reversible and therefore lasts two days. How is that not the definition of quality?
Scalpers gonna scalp.
I'd buy it but it's pre-owned by some strange Japanese fella. Anyway, I much prefer my Castrol GTX jacket which I can even wear at funerals.
@Octane
If you switch to, back to front also. You'll have 4 great days.
@kyleforrester87 fully reversible, much better than a halfway reversible one
@ApostateMage Just make sure someone hasn't drawn a phallic shape on the back in chalk.
@ellsworth004 I'd buy Cyberpunk dungarees.
It just shows a missed opportunity for CDPR's marketing team. If they tease people with crazy exciting trailers, why not filling this gap until game release with merch?
When I said I wanted a Cyberpunk 2077 reversible sleeve this wasn't what I meant
@Dubya75
What's wrong? Were you hoping to cash in?
the quality looks cheap which isn't surprising since they gave it away for free. who would pay for this? of course, these are the same people who paid $500 for a derpy looking statue.
@Gremio108 I'd rather buy from cdpr directly than from some ebayer who overcharges for a jacket.
@berte Merch is already available on their store. Go check it out.
@Dubya75 if you want pay $500 for a jacket, go ahead. But it looks like terrible quality. CDPR doesn't give better quality merchandise to people at e3. Look at the statue they gave at e3 last year. It has a lazy eye. The collector's edition statue looks 1000x better.
@get2sammyb don't bother reasoning with people who choose to pay money for stuff given away for free.
