As many of you would know, there are two versions of Gears of War 2: a standard edition and a collector’s edition. The standard edition retails for $99.95 and is just the basic game. The collector’s edition however, retails for $119.95 and features a Making of… DVD, a 48-page book containing art and character profiles, steelbook DVD case, and an Xbox Live code to unlock the gold-plated Lancer Assault Rifle for online play.
With that out the way, the standard edition is the cheapest at JB Hi-Fi, who are charging just $74. In case they run out of copies or are closed for stock-take, then Big W is the best alternative at $76.84. JB Hi-Fi also happens to be the cheapest place to pick up the collector’s edition, along with GAME, with a price tag of $99. Alternatively, Dick Smith stores are charging just 78 cents more.
With so many great games being released lately, it’s understandable if you simply can’t budget for Gears of War 2. Fortunately, a few retailers are offering trade-in deals. Again, JB Hi-Fi is arguably offering the best deal – head in to your local store and trade-in three Xbox 360 games and you’ll walk out with Gears of War 2 Collector's Edition for FREE. As usual though, we recommend you take a peek at their exclusions list (.pdf file). Finally, EB Games are offering the standard edition for $19.95 when you trade-in two titles that are on their eligible games list.
