Pokemon Platinum bargain round-up

DS News | Gotta catch a bargain.
It’s time to catch ‘em all once more, as Pokémon Platinum is officially released tomorrow. So you don’t pay the full retail price of $69.95, we’ve compiled a list of the current specials available across Aussie retailers.

Remarkably, Myer has proven to be the top contender by offering the game for just $49. In case you don’t have a local store though, Kmart is selling it for $54.95 while Target will set you back 5 cents more at $55. For those wanting a cheaper alternative, JB Hi-Fi has a trade-in deal where you’ll get Pokémon Platinum for FREE when you trade-in two DS games – best of all there are no exclusions! EB Games also has a trade-in deal, where you can purchase the game for $19.95 by trading in two DS games that are on the eligible trade-in titles list.

Since we know a lot of our readers are collectors, we’ve also included prices for the official Pokémon Platinum strategy guide. The guide normally retailers for $49.95 and features a walkthrough for the entire game, detailed maps of every location, and data about every Pokémon you can possibly encounter in the Sinnoh region. Big W is charging only $28.84 for the guide, while Kmart is second best with a price tag of $29.95.

A complete list of bargains can be found below. If you have anything to add to this list please leave a message in the comments section or email joseph.rositano@palgn.com.au.

I'll be heading out tomorrow to find two cheaps games for Platinum. I doubt I'll pick up the game guide though, it probably hasn't changed much since the D/P one.

The pre order deal was left out of the bargains, I'm getting it at EB and matching the Target deal...$64.95 for the game and guide.

^ Well no point tell people about the ore-order deal now. Too late to pre-order.

I'll be picking up a guide for $28-ish tomorrow, I think. <3

True Charly, but for people that have pre ordered it at EB, it could help them.

Though EB will probably not match the Target pre-order deal as the pre-order deal is no longer valid as it was for pre-orders and not for straight purchases when the game is released.

I know they won't match for straight out pruchases, hence why I put for people who Pre Ordered at EB. I pre ordered and they matched the deal this morning, no probs.
