Was_There_Then Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 Just wondering if anyone has seen some good pre-order prices for the MGS4's release this week? I was contemplating ordering from overseas but would prefer to pick it up on the day of release (if the price is right). I notice that JB have signs up about pre-ordering but haven't seen any prices mentioned. I'll pop in there at lunchtime today to find out. Am I right in thinking that most places will likely have the standard edition for $99, or do you think we will see a deal early on for around $79 (like GTA IV dropped to - before going back up)?

JB and/or BigW will be the best bet I'd reckon. I've not seen anything from either yet (I dropped by them both yesterday) but if anyone was going to offer a discount on this it would be those guys.
volt Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 It's advertised in the latest Big W catalogue at $94.84.
mrw91 Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 JB is doin a trade in 2 games and get MGS4 free deal... some exclusions apply
holmesy999 Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 JB is doin a trade in 2 games and get MGS4 free deal... some exclusions apply I went into EB games today and they are doing THREE trade in games and it's free..... off to jb's I think I note JB's exclusion list is pretty small on their website - anyone know if this is the actual case when you go in store? Cause there are a few titles floating around on ebay at the moment going for $25 - $30 all up, which means a bit of hunting around you could get it all pretty cheap
auswoffer Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 I'm trading in 2 games at JB. JB PS3 Exclusions Else it's $99 from JB.

holmesy999 Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 i bought it from eb games for 67.45 with the edge card 10% discount (75 otherwise)bought lost and cod3 used in store and then re-traded them back in, using the jb 2 for 1(mgs4) deal. if i dont like it (very unlikely they have a similar trade-deal to gta4. $105 for a week, then 80 for a week, then 55 as store credit. sorry - are you saying EB games matched the JB hi fi trade two games in? wonder if my eb games will do that as there is no jb hi fi around here
simonr231503561300 Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 yeah, eb matched the jb deal. i brought the jb catalogue and the printout of their exclusion list with me and went to my eb store to find the right(cheap 2nd hand) games.
DRobes Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 I was gonna get it from play-asia, but wasnt sure about the online factor, so i just traded GT5 & Lost for it and got it free, cant wait to get into it!
NBJizzy Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 PlayAsia is cheapest. I bought a copy there using $10 off coupon.Here are the links: Asia version: http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-4e68-7...-j-70-2oim.html US version: http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-4e68-7...-j-70-1vgb.html YES, Both of those are completely in English and work on Australian consoles!!
songaz Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Songaz, when you recieve it can you please try it online so we know if i can be used on Aus online servers? which version did you end up getting? i actually canceled my order from them because i didnt wanna wait up to 5 days AFTER the release date for it to be DELIVERED so i traded in 2 games @ jb and got it today lol. awesome game
nova Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 (edited) I went to a few EB stores and none of them could match BigW's catalog price of $94.84. Sales people gave the excuse that BigW had no stock. They did not even bother to ring up BigW. So much for EB's red sticker - seen it cheaper and we'll match it. Finally, I bought it at Myer. Sales person rang up one BigW that had stock and matched the price. Edited June 13, 2008 by nova
Smasher9a Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 picked up a copy from a Hong Kong ebay seller for $77 inc shipping. also grabbed myself the PS3 bluray remote for $35 inc shipping. haven't arrived yet but ive gotten 10 or so games from same seller without any issue in the past. if anyone is interested his ebay store is @ http://stores.ebay.com.au/auslime
