Was looking for a cheaper price than Target and found Big W were selling them for $52 each (opposed to Target's $55). Thought that was significant enough, especially for those buying both.

If you're a first-time buyer like myself, remember that both games are completely different experiences story wise. More importantly however, is Conquest is aimed at expert players while Birthright is aimed at everyone else (to the best of my understanding, my apologies if that's not 100% right).

Also, don't forget that if Big W isn't your cup of tea EB Games and JB HiFi will pricematch. That should either save you some petrol or earn you some carrots.

EDIT: Thanks to Max Power for pointing out that if you want both and don't care about physical copies, once you buy one of them you can purchase the other one digitally for $26 Australian (after getting a couple of chapters in).

    great find OP!

    NB: you shouldn't actually buy both carts. It would be better to buy the other paths digitally.

    • Circly on 20/05/2016 - 14:43

      Why is that?

      • coxymla on 20/05/2016 - 16:14

        Because then your game will show as having all three paths in it, as opposed to having to swap carts. Also I think it's cheaper that way?

      • eieiron on 20/05/2016 - 16:30

        You get the other paths for half price if you have one game originally.

        • Innamura on 20/05/2016 - 22:14

          Thanks guys, this is the first time I have heard about this. Is this a time limited offer? i.e. you need to buy the second game via the first by a certain date? Reason I am asking is that I usually take my time to play these games and don't want to miss out on the discounted price.

          Looks like it might be wise to cancel my collector's edition then..

          @Innamura: Fairly sure it is not time limited.

        • Innamura on 20/05/2016 - 22:41

          @coxymla: Thanks for the heads up. A bit torn as I am a huge Fire emblem fan but on the other hand, it's $30 worth of stuff that will just gather dust.

          @Innamura:

          Some people managed to preorder at jb hi fi for $99. I wonder if EB would price match that price?

          @Innamura: if you preordered from jb it should be 99 dollars. Dunno about eb though. In other words, make sure you check the price before you cancel!

        • Innamura on 21/05/2016 - 17:51

          @Circly: Thanks for the tip guys. I will check with JB then EB to see if they can price match. Wish me luck.

    Price comparison.

    So do you have to buy both games to get the full experience. Yes, but you don’t have to get both cards if you don’t want to. You might see both Birthright and Conquest in stores but after a certain time in either game (chapter 6) you can then download the other version in the in-game menu for a healthy discount of $26AUD.

    • Circly on 20/05/2016 - 14:46

      So the special edition isn't really worth is as it costa $130 for all three.

      $52+26+26(?)= $104

      It is quite debateable that a small art book and poster is worth $26.

      Hmm might cancel my preorder

      • rukia on 20/05/2016 - 14:54

        Just really depends if you want a physical copy since it's the only way to get all 3 on one cartridge.

        • soulmind23 on 20/05/2016 - 15:06

          No I dont think its worth it if you are not a collector, best to leave it to the collectors to buy those SE.

        • rukia on 20/05/2016 - 15:36

          @soulmind23: Best to cancel your preorder then. You'll make either a collector really happy or an ebay reseller who will sell it for double the price :)

        • soulmind23 on 20/05/2016 - 16:38

          @rukia: eh?.. Im a collector lmao .. my reply directed at circly .. context man context.

        • Circly on 20/05/2016 - 17:25

          I would have preferred 3 cartridges and hence 3 cases so it looks better with the rest of my collection!

      • RocketSwitch on 20/05/2016 - 14:56

        Don't forget the steelbook.

        • Circly on 20/05/2016 - 17:25

          True.. Steel book as well… Just got my text from eb games to pick up my preorder too.

        Hey, I just collected my preorder from jb and it was 99 bucks. Just an fyi!

        • Circly on 21/05/2016 - 15:52

          My eb wouldn't accept a price match for that price! :(

        • eieiron on 21/05/2016 - 16:26

          @Circly: Damn… Sorry I got your hopes up then >_<

        • Circly on 21/05/2016 - 16:28

          @eieiron: it's ok I got rejected before you posted lol
