The latest in the Star Ocean series, Star Ocean: The Last Hope is hitting shelves on June 4th. Coming exclusively to the Xbox 360, it is yet another JRPG that Microsoft have been lucky enough to secure in hopes to win over Japanese gamers.


Price round-ups are forum discussions that let the community track prices and trade in offers for upcoming releases. It is an opportunity to share trade in exploits, point out online sales, reveal broken street dates and helps reduce work for staff so that we can have more frequent round-ups.

Game trade in is a pretty good deal.

$80 for a trade in

NOTE THAT THE RELEASE DATE HAS BEEN BROKEN.

Just traded my copy of Orange Box that I got from cdwow.com.au for $26.95 ($28.95 sale price minus $2 coupon code), and got the standard edition of Star Ocean for $39.95.

Net gain of $53 on their RRP of $109.95 at the end of the deal which is pretty sweet, but JB are selling the standard edition for $89.

So at the end of the day it ended up costing $66.90 all up.

Heyz, i was wondering. How do you know if the street date has been broken?

EDIT: Just called my local EBGames, they said yeah i can get it today. Apparently i looked at the JB site and it says out now lol
