D'oh!
You'd think someone at Capcom would have caught such an obvious error. Sure, typos get on game boxes all the time, but I don't think I've ever seen a misspelling in such a prominent area. These early misspelled copies of Resident Evil: Revelations will definitely become a collector's item down the road.
Dammit! I should know better, I was a former school spelling bee champ.

Such a priceless topic...
Wait, there were two "e"s in the word bee when I submitted it.

Huh? I don't understand what that means. Do you have a Browser add-on or something?
No. I'm saying I spelled it correctly, I even took the time to look over my post.

Ohhh...I didn't even pick that up. I see what you're saying now. It was "be" instead of "bee." Well, it wouldn't have gave an error for the word "be" because that's an actual word.

No biggie, man. It's not often that I have a chance to bust your chops. I had to exploit that opportunity! It was fun while it lasted.
Capcom is now apologizing for the error. Here is a statement Capcom made to Kotaku.
"It has come to our attention that there was a misspelling on the Resident Evil Revelations packaging. We apologize for the mistake, which will be corrected for subsequent productions of the game. We are working on a solution to provide affected customers with the correct packaging. Please visit Capcom-Unity at http://www.capcom-unity.com/ for updates."

I wonder how many copies were misspelled. Like Chris pointed out, these should definitely be worth some kind of money in the future for any collector out there. I'm very tempted to go investigate this matter for myself. If I go out there and see one of these Japanese misprinted copies, I'll more than likely get one and never open it.
You know what would be even cooler then a mispelled gamebox? a game that had a misspelling in the game itself.

Actually, man, there are a ton of games out there that have spelling errors. Some of the errors are careless, but most of them are resultant from the translation process. Here's just some of the very many out there.
I'm curious (and maybe I missed something), how is the "I am Error" a spelling mistake?

It was a translation "errol..."
A notable mistranslation in this game is one character who claims his name is "Error". This is a mistranslation from the original "Errol", which in Japanese is pronounced identically to "Error". This was not fixed in subsequent ports.

That's one error I wouldn't be happy to see fixed.
Wow now thats a interesting find. 
I was browsing the 3DS games earlier today and saw that there were four misprinted copies of Resident Evil: Revelations. I hesitated, but I went ahead and purchased a copy. I don't intend to play it, or remove the case from its original cellophane wrapping either.
I opened my misspelled copy of Resident Evil: Revelations. The only thing that I collect are trading cards...
The Ghostbusters one is priceless!
