    Anyone know how much Game and Gamestop are going to be charging for it?

    I've already pre-ordered so will be getting it regardless of the price, but just curious....

    Was in Gamestop last Friday, and they said PS3 ver going for 65euro

    Xtravision said it'd be about €70 to me. I wouldn't be surprised to see shops charging €70-75 for this one as opposed to €60, as it'll sell anyway.

    Game Blanch said round €70 to me today but they have none for sale unless pre ordered.

    I'd say it'll be 75. Dear as possible cos they know they'll sell regardless!

    The RRP is €69.99 - most specialist game stores will be charging this as far as we know. We did hear of one chain that has set it at €74.99 but do not want to name it as to be fair it is not confirmed by them and could get us into legal trouble :)

    HMV are charging €74.99

    This is just one of those games that i dont care how much it cost just as long as I have it on launch day

    Symths usually has a 10% for new games... and you can sign up there and then for it, so €69.99 would really be €63 or so.

    Jaysus all the game shops are charging a mint for this, hopefully tesco will be cheaper.

    Id say the cheapest you will find it on normal sale without discounts will be 65. Harvey Normans may throw a spanner in to the works though. :pac:

    Tesco definitely won't charge €65 for it, €60 maybe, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was €50. That's what they charged for Halo3 and it was cheaper than anywhere else.

    Definately <60e in tesco.I thought that they set a max price for games like they did for cds, 58.50e or summat like that??What price it'll be will depend on the stock they get, i would imagine but they are always the cheapest for launches like this, eg Harry Potter books, halo3.Does any1 else feel that this launch is bigger and a lot more exciting than Halo3. "The biggest entertainment launch ever" according to microsoft

    Just got a text from a mate who works part time i Xtravision. He's almost certain the game will retail at 65e he also said they expect to have a good volume of games available for first come first served on release day.

    they've put a brick in that road so to speak.

    yes you can sign up on the spot, but it costs €5 for the card.
