Killzone 2 bargain round-up

PS3 News | Time to go on a bargain killing spree.
While Xbox 360 owners will be lapping up the new Halo Wars this week, PlayStation 3 owners also have something to brag about. That’s right, the highly anticipated Killzone 2 has finally made its way to store shelves, and to celebrate we’ve compiled a list of the current specials that are available across Aussie retailers. Killzone 2 has a suggested retail price of $109.95.

Unsurprisingly most retailers have similar pricing for Killzone 2. The game can be picked up for $88 at Big W, Harvey Norman and Wow – Sight and Sound, while JB Hi-Fi and GAME are charging $1 more. In case your wallet still hasn’t recovered from the mad rush of games at Christmas time, EB Games is offering a trade-in deal where you’ll get Killzone 2 for only $29.95. All you have to do is trade-in two titles that are on their eligible games list. Alternatively, you can get it for FREE at JB Hi-Fi by trading-in three PS3 games that aren't on their exclusions list (.pdf file).

For those of you that lack a PS3 console (shame on you), there are a couple of bundles available that include an 80 GB PlayStation 3 console and a copy of the game. These cost $688 at Dick Smith and Wow – Sight and Sound, or if you don’t have a local store nearby, then $699 at JB Hi-Fi.

For a complete list of bargains please see below. If you have anything to add to this list please leave a message in the comments section or email joseph.rositano@plagn.com.au.

Im slightly disappointed in these pricings. I know I shouldn't complain considering they are around the $90 mark, but come on, not even a JB or Game trade-in offer... And Halo Wars has most retailers selling it at under $80.

edit: lol at Eb's trade in deal

Ah, but Halo Wars costs less. Since the SRP of Killzone 2 costs more ($10), it suggests that the buying price would also be more than Halo Wars. That would probably be the reason for the higher price.

Also, I do know that JB have a new catalogue coming soon. I think it's next week, as I've heard some things about them having a trade-in deal for Killzone 2. Sadly it's not available yet.

The Harvey Norman catalogue I read today said that Killzone 2 was $88 preorder only, and will go back to RRP when it's released.

HN should still sell it for 88 if you didn't pre-order. At least we'll do that for the one I work at. Thats what happened with SFIV; but afaik we've since sold out of SFIV standard ed.

Picked it up today with JB's trade deal. All games cost me under $20 so it effectively cost me under $60 for K2 while playing to death and getting my moneys worth of the games I traded in.

The JB trade in deals aren't worth it anymore really.. it's so much easier to pay the $80-$90..

3 ps3 games is asking a bit much when they keep adding exclusions all the time..

Just traded Resistance 2 for KZ2 at JB and got it for $45.00. Why bother with EB anymore ???

Price matched at my local EB and couldn't be happier to pay the $89. Expectations have been surpassed so I know I definitely won't have buyers remorse for lashing out on launch day for once.

Once you master the controls Killzone 2 is amazing. Its graphics are also the best I've seen on a console game. I thought gears of war 2 looked really good, and don't get me wrong it does but Killzone 2 really takes the cake.

Great Game.

Picked it up from JB today after convincing myself that I could put up with the awful feeling controls. Big buyers remorse for me - should have stuck with my opinion from playing with the demo.

^ should have got it from EB; pricematched. Could have just taken it back within 7 days if you didn't like it.

My apologies for not responding to quries sooner. Been a long day. Zhou, thank you for clearing up the HN price, I will keep it in the listings. I will also update the article to include the JB trade-in deal.
