As many of you would be aware, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is available on a variety of systems. The PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii versions currently have a suggested retail price of $99.95, while the PlayStation 2 version normally costs $69.95. Moving on to handheld consoles, the Nintendo DS version will usually set you back $69.95, while the PSP version is the cheapest at $59.95.
With that out the way, Target are offering the cheapest price for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii versions at $77.95, complete with a free lightsaber toy. In case you don’t have a local store, then Big W is the second best option as they're charging only $78, while Kmart and JB Hi-Fi have a price tag of $79. Next up is the PlayStation 2 version, which is only $54.92 at Big W and $59 at Myer. For those wanting some touch screen action, the Nintendo DS version is on sale at Big W for $54.92 and $59 at JB Hi-Fi. Changing the pattern slightly, the PSP version is cheaper at JB Hi-Fi and Myer, both charging just $49. In the unlikely event that both stores give you the annoying “we haven’t received our shipment” excuse, then you can go to Target and pay $49.95, as well as receive a bonus lightsaber toy for your troubles.
For those who are having a little trouble scrounging up the money, GAME are offering a trade-in deal where you’ll get Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for FREE when you trade-in three games. Unfortunately, this deal doesn’t include the PlayStation 2 or PSP versions, and as always there’s an exclusions list you’ll need to take into account.
Before you rush out and line up at your desirable store, there are a few specific deals that some of you may be interested in. Firstly, EB Games are offering 20% off the official Star Wars: The Force Unleashed strategy guide when you buy the game from them. The guide normally retails for $29.95 (that’s $23.95 with the discount) and is designed for the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii versions of the game. As we mentioned above, Target is offering a bonus lightsaber toy when you purchase the game from them. This deal is available for all versions, so if you think you’ll want to re-enact some moments from the game when friends are over, you may want to have a plastic prop at the ready. Lastly, Dick Smith stores are offering a bonus stylus lightsaber pack when you purchase the DS version, however, you’ll have to pay nearly full retail price just to get it.
For a complete list of specials please see below. All these prices will be included in this week’s Australian Gaming Bargains feature, which will be published by PALGN tomorrow afternoon.
