Assassin’s Creed II comes in three different packages; the Black Edition, the White Edition and the Standard Edition. The Black Edition is exclusive to EB Games and retails for $149.95. It includes an Ezio figurine, three bonus missions, art book, soundtrack DVD, and a copy of the game. The White Edition has a retail price of $129.95 and comes bundled with an Ezio figurine, a bonus mission and a copy of the game. The Standard Edition retails for $109.95, and is just the game disc and a manual insert popped into a DVD case.
While it appears retailers aren’t going too crazy over Assassin’s Creed II, there are a few different offers going on at the moment. Dick Smith comes out on top by selling the standard edition for $77, while Big W and JB Hi-Fi are the best alternative options with their price tag of $78. The White Edition is also on sale at JB Hi-Fi, where you can grab it for a cool $109. In case you’re considering buying a PlayStation 3, Toys ‘R’ Us has a deal where you can grab the game for $50 when you purchase the console in the same transaction, so it might be worth looking into.
As usual there are a few trade-in deals going on at the moment as well. First up, JB Hi-Fi is offering the standard edition for FREE when you trade-in three games that are not on their exclusions list (.pdf file). Meanwhile, GAME is offering the standard edition for $39.95 when you trade-in one game that appears on their eligible titles list. Finally, EB Games is offering the Black Edition for $29.95 when you trade-in three games, though you’ll have to visit your local store to find out what titles you're allowed to trade-in to get the price.
UPDATE: Toys 'R' Us are reportedly selling the standard edition for $69.99. Looks like they've assassinated the competition with a last minute special!
