On sale for 3 days only, Farcry 2, a really good game in it's own right, overshadowed (as everything was) by COD Black Ops in the last little while. Anyway, the good news is that means now it's just $19.99 + courier (Or Express) delivery, which is quite variable, depending on where you live. Courier delivery can be as low as under $9, or up to about $25 (I think) if you live in the middle of nowhere! Insurance is optional at $2.90 but recommended for such a easy-to-break custom wooden box.
PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT THE PLATINUM VERSION, it is the ORIGINAL SEXY ONE,
in the custom WOODEN COLLECTORS BOX (with all of the accessories)
Do check out ALL of the pics, because otherwise you won't see all the cool stuff included in the custom wooden box set. It's new, sealed, guaranteed authentic Aussie stock, and ships daily.
What you get in the box is far more than just the game, there are heaps of other things as well, so it's worth looking at the second photo at dooverlackies because it shows what you get. It is shipped by either Express or courier to anywhere in Oz, which one depends on how close you are to a major city, and sent same day.And yeah, I know I've said this about a million times, but I can't overemphasise how big and heavy this item is! In terms of freight, although some games ship with free freight, it wouldn't be feasible to ship free AS WELL AS offering a HUGE discount at the same time on a pretty hard to get WOODEN BOX collector's kit like this, because It's a massively heavy item, and very fragile, so it needs lots of extra care to make sure it ships undamaged. That's why nobody ships this item free. As far as I can tell, nobody else sells this item.
I checked getprice.com.au and gamecafe.com.au and the stores that claimed to have it haven't had any stock for a long time. The only ones I know of that said they have stock are retail stores who charge $50+ now, but when I checked they didn't have them, and despite what their websites say, none of them can get the collector's edition.
Unlike most games that just get remade, this is a legitimate Limited Edition. Maybe that's why it was UBER-expensive not too long ago, $130 at Game, and $150 at EB. So it's well worth a look, because as far as I'm aware, it is very hard to get the Wooden Collector's box set new and sealed for this cheap.
Even most t-shirts cost more than that!
:P
Wow, this is still selling… I bought it from Harvey Norman months ago for $15. Obviously they didn't do much research when manufacturing these special editions, as you can still buy them cheap from most places brand new years after it's release.
