Mass Effect 2 is having a simultaneous release for Xbox 360 and PC on Thursday January 28th. There are some preorder bonuses including some EB Games exclusives.

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.

My local GameTraders (Castle Towers NSW) has got stock of Mass Effect 2 on the Xbox 360. I will head over there tomorrow hopefully and confirm this as it only says on the website.

After having the 1st one on 360 and the option of continuing your story with the 360 save I really wanted to get it on 360 but the better controls (likely graphics) and much cheaper price on pc means I am converting to the pc and tossing out my old character choices.

So on pc there is the option between the standard and deluxe version and when looking at it closely there is nothing in the list that really stands out as a must have.  You can get the inferno armour for the standard version if u pre-order on steam and likely in a few other places.  I also have some item I can grab from buying dragon's age.

Price wise cd-wow looks to be the cheapest at $45 for standard and $53 for deluxe but you need to wait for them to arrive.  Personally I just grabbed it off steam, price $49 and $59 and you can pre download and have it instantly.

By the way the Cerberus Network Access Card is in all new copies(even standard). It's like the Shale DLC for Dragon Age.

Can't find PS3 price anywhere.... Tongue

If only EA would live up to their reputation and whore out the franchise to anyone DS, Wii, Game Gear, 3DO invcluded. Oh well.

I also would like to welcome the return of the mighty Price Round Ups

JB Hi-Fi has bonus armour if you pre-order. They are also having it on trade 3-1 when its released or so I read.

No it's not. You can go in, pre-order for $5, then take in your trade bait on release day and get your $5 back. Anyone have a good line on some trade bait for ME2? I'm having trouble finding some since JB updated the exclusion list.

I didn't realise you could do this, I might preorder it today. I wasn't planning on it since I have games to trade but if I can get the preorder bonus AND trade the games it would be nice. Thanks for the heads up!

It's worth it for games with preorder bonuses. I did it with Dragon Age and MW2.

That's BRILLIANT! I think I know what I'll be doing! I've only started playing the firest one recently and it's awesome, I really like the idea that you can port across you character too.

Follow the link to ign where they link every dlc on the xbox.com marketplace.

Don't no if they pushed the wrong button so it may only last a day or something, so get in quick and que it up!
