As far as I know, it is out of print, and is going up in price on the likes of eBay almost every month (a sealed copy sold on there for £64.50 on boxing day). It will probably end up been one of the few legitimately rare games of this gen.

If you want to play it, you may as well buy it used at the best price you can see, as you should most likely sell it for close to that again when you are done

Remember this? :lol

What's the cheapest place to get Metroid Prime Trilogy? Seems really hard to come by at a decent price.

I asked myself this same question a month ago, and finally managed to find a copy at Tesco Online for £32. It's gone up - to £35 - but this is still the best price you'll find.

I was looking for it for a long time, I only found it on Amazon DE Metroid Prime Trilogy 37,66€, if you don't mind the german writings on the box art and the german booklet, the game is in english though.

Ahh I'am glad you didn't buy it when it was £9.99.

was it at that price point at Play? Then I probably missed it. I just remember it costing that much on Amazon and with shipping it was too much. Lucky me I guess.

Btw Prince of Persia fans, here's some discounted lego at John Lewis.

 

[Hypertrooper]

Just been into my local GAME and picked up Fallout New Vegas Limited Edition on PS3 for £24.99. It was hidden underneath a pile of Tony Hawks Shred's :lol

also Metroid Other M for £15 there too

I don't know but can you look if there is a hidden Xbox 360 CE for the same price?

Hi it was only the PS3 version there. Though my GAME store is really small so you might have more luck at a larger one.

A couple of other deals there were gran turismo 5 signature edition for £64.99 and halo reach CE for £29.99

 

[Keyser Soze]

Don't anger Amazon, or they will price match...

Just Cause 2 (PS3) - £4.99 @ Amazon

They will probably chop 360 later I guess

Buy this game!

 

[Backfoggen]

Pre-ordering stuff before 2011 and the VAT increase comes around would be smart, yes?

 

[lochnesssnowman]

£4.99? Bought!

Also picked up Vanquish at £12.85 today

 

[Keyser Soze]

Pre-ordering stuff before 2011 and the VAT increase comes around would be smart, yes?

Maybe stuff you need on day one, as there is a chance they could alter a quid or two... but games will still drop regardless of VAT, and I think sites will still be dropping items to that magic £17.99 mark a few weeks after release if a game fails at retail.

The VAT rise will probably only hugely affect large £1000+ items, and nothing connected to gaming will be affected much

Is it weird that I always had this game on my radar, but now the Platinum packaging puts me off, even at this price? I would rather pay 10 for the standard version :/

Bought the Platinum version from Zavvi and it looks even worse in nature. Absolutely hideous.

FUCK. I just bought it from Amazon for £18.

Has it been dispatched? If it has you could email them and point out the difference.

Not yet, I might try it on. Other peeps have had success getting back the difference on PS3s, so I fancy my chances.

Marketing 101. The Platinum packaging is deliberately hideous to induce you to pay more for the regular edition. Only the really price-conscious go for the Platinum edition.

In fact I don't really understand why MS prettied up their Platinum packaging. It looks just as good as if not better than the regular packaging now.

 

[Dash Kappei]

Ordered VANQUISH [PS3] from Gameplay for £14,95 which I think is the cheapest you can find the PS3 version.

A game is a game in my eyes. I don't understand why people care about what the box looks like. But that's just me, I guess.

 

[Garjon]

Shit, I missed the Just Cause 2 sale

Back up to £10 now.

That doesn't really make any sense since by the time the platinum release is out the regular edition is extinct or near extinct at retail level...at least as new. Given how much the industry likes used games packaging that encourages people to buy that is crazy. Besides from what I understand any regular editions left should drop to the same price as the platinum release. Then again, the oddest thing I've seen is the whole throw all/some of the DLC into the platinum release which if anything encourages me less to buy the original, ever :lol

Spoiler

I guess that is the plan as you wouldn't buy a used copy of the original instead going for a new platinum for added value

If you ask me the price-conscious gaming would be the equivalent of a Tesco value edition. So very flimsy box with a very plain cover (think of the old master system boxarts).

That stuff aside, very store specific (due to the size of the package) but apparently in the GAME/Gamestation sale you can find the limited edition of Monster Hunter Tri for £20. It comes with a worthless Wii Speak, the Classic Controller pro bungle of the game and some figurine of one of the monsters in a treasure chest style box (i think its cardboard so don't expect anything like Anno 1404). But like I said very store specific as in either ring on the off chance (as crazy as it sounds I've done that in the past and been successful) but the deals been on Hotukdeals for a few days now so thats probably killed the element of surprise.

Disney's Epic Mickey (Wii) - £17.99 @ Amazon

TheHut price macthed it and it's more import friendly than Amazon for continental Yurop ( in this case ).

Do you think the price will lower even more ?
I'm tempted.

 

[Minamu]

Again, any good places for Dead Space 2 Collector's Edition pre-orders?

 

[Keyser Soze]

Again, any good places for Dead Space 2 Collector's Edition pre-orders?

I thought the Collector's Edition (Plasma Cutter), was exclusive to HMV on 360/PC, Play have the exclusive on the Extraction pack-in, so I guess you gotta pay what they ask.

(I guess I could be wrong about the exclusiveness, but I dont see the other version listed elsewhere)

 

[kinn]

Not directly gaming releated...

Samsung G3 - 1.5TB Desktop External USB 2.0 Hard Drive (Black) - £59.99 @ Amazon

Keyser nice find.

Thought it was one of those external drives that needed it's own power supply at first. Ordered one as soon as I discovered it's powered over USB.

Edit

Having another look on the site and it's unclear if it's USB powered or not! There's like a power socket in the pic as well...

I saw the PS3 version on Amazon the other day, the same price as the regular edition. Not sure if it's the same as Play's though.

It needs an AC power supply. It's not USB powered.

Bought it for £9.99 and it shipped yesterday so ive emailed them see what they say. Anyone with medal of honor thats done with it argos are giving £18 trade in for it which is pretty good since i bought it there two weeks ago for £19.49 :lol

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Hey GAF, any insane 3D Dot Game Heroes offers at the moment?

The best one is...

Some decent deals in GAME. Saw 3D Dot Game Heroes for £15, Nier for £9.99, a few older games for under £5 etc.

Didn't bother looking just too hard though.

Thats instore only, btw. Given it goes for at least £20 online I'd guess that was insane but I'm no expert.

I'm from France and we have "Planet Saturn" stores here. Are they the same, and will they do the same promotion ? Oh how I would love this !

 

[Radius]

I'm from France and we have "Planet Saturn" stores here. Are they the same, and will they do the same promotion ? Oh how I would love this !

They belong to the same division as the "Media Markt" markets and as far as I can see together they have 33 sites in France. So maybe they have the same offer over there...
