Just popped into JB in Barkley Square and saw a few games on sale for $5 each, no idea if nationwide, but Preowned copies of Detroit: Become Human were $5 a pop, thought it might interest some people. It is currently $88 preowned at EBGames.
Other deals I saw:
Call of Duty WW2 (PS4) Preowned - $5
Star Fox Zero (WiiU) - $5
Pokken Tournament (WiiU) $5
Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call (3DS) - $5
people return these quickly after playing once, and hardly to replay since its story game.
In theory you're right, but to get the full experience of Detroit you have to play it more than once. From memory, I had to play it 3 times start to finish and then I still had to go back and chapter select after that to change a few things and then continue to the end to get the platinum. I know not everyone hunts for trophies, but these Quantic Dream games to fully appreciate, you have to aim for the platinum.
I watched a lets-play on Youtube and I realised that as well. There were so many branching lines and possible endings that you'd miss out if you didn't at least play it twice.
The endings are so vastly different in terms of conclusion and the path you take. It's not like any other story game where your decisions don't ultimately matter, like in the walking dead where no matter what option you pick, certain particular characters will always die.
$5 for Detroit is an amazing deal.
@Blitzfx: This is one of the best games of its genre, but even it gets repetitive very quickly.
My advice is to play this game twice; first-time making evil/fun decisions and being as selfish as possible. Second round do a moral/selfless decisions but try to make your characters survive.
That tactic I found covers most/major scenarios. For the smaller intricacies you could save yourself time from the grind and watch them from YouTube.
@Kangal: There was one part where Kara and the girl are walking towards the border at night in the snow, and you have the option to turn off her temperature module thing because she's shivering cold.
If you leave it on, the border guard will remark that she's shivering and must be cold (like a human). Do you know what happens if you turn it off?
@Blitzfx: If you turn it off, she looks at you and smiles and says that's better. At the border, the guard will state at her but won't mention the shivering part. If I recall this correctly.
The amount of detail in this game is truly unreal.
@Kangal: Absolutely is. It was incredible to see decisions you made 4-5 chapters ago, and long forgotten, come into play in the final hours.
it's not out yet. Should be out in the next month or two on epic store
@AussieMark: yeah, been waiting for it :)
edit : i was being sarcastic but after reading comments realized that it really is coming on pc
i meant that its not multiplayer game so when you finish it 100% you dont wanna spend time on it.
i associate myself as story gamer or single player, and i love games likes these. so cheers
That's cheap
Great find! WA Osborne park or city store won’t do it.
Damn. My local JB has these for $59. Must be store specific? Great price though!
Just double checking these were preowned you were looking at?
Yes - that's what I asked about on the phone - both my Local JBs said the same. :(
I'm sure a flipper is now on the way to buy all of them
If you see any cars with number plate BR0DEN you know what's up
Amazing game. Was tied for my personal GOTY for 2018 along with God of War. So much replayability too.
Detroit was my GOTY. I was late on the GoW bandwagon, and still haven't played it properly to date.. =(
With prices like this and it coming to PC I'm happy that more people will get to experience it :D
Damn i was literally just there. Teach me not be checking Ozbargain while I'm walking, lesson learned.
That's not going to last long considering it can be resell at 35-40 easily
I won't lie, I had a moment where I thought I could buy a few and flip them or trade them into EBGames, but I hate when people do it, so I decided to post it up! I am sure they won't last long, but gotta give those punters a chance!
Kudos to your ethics gamer
Feelgood-o-meter: +1 :)
what happens if you trade them in? I Never buy from eb games
I can normally get 50-80% off online even for new games
Salute
Put your hands up for Detroit. A lovely game
I love this cityyyy lol
Will have to check my local JB-HI-FI. If anyone else manages to get this deal elsewhere let me know.
The game is an easy plat why so many copys there
whats an easy plat
100% completion
lol. according to one ozbargainer my ignorance is offensive. Not everyone knows the gamer lingo, I did when I was 14
@bailbondsh: if you get platinum completion you get a special wristband that you can wear outside in the street.
When other people see it, they must bow and address you at your proper rank.
If they fail to do so a proximity sensor goes off on their phone blocking their ps4 and xbox accounts
Just finished this game last night, was awesome!
you have time to play a game, i envy you
Did you play the game or did it play you?
I can buy for of for 9.99 USD, do you recommend it
My name is Connor. I'm the android sent by CyberLife.
Thank you very much OP. My local said it's a store specific due to excess trade in stock. Won't budge on $59.
probably only works on a coconut playstation
lol
lol
loooooolllzzzzz
No copies left with a $5 sticker that I could see. Same with cod ww2
Was that at Brunswick or a different store?
Brunswick
Alright who took them all?
Wow, some slimy lurker on here probably just went down and grabbed them all. You know who you are, turd.
Was my GOTY last year.
for a fiver, it's worth playing through again and getting different plots/endings. Loved the game.
Someone took them all :(
Best to just watch it on youtubes
Has anyone been able to get it anywhere else? :(
A true blue OzBargainer sees a good deal and post it. Good man
Mine had none. Would have considered buying multiple then passing on at cost..
game isnt out yet on PC
launching soon on epic store.. You guys have special copies
This could only mean 1 thing " ps5 is coming soon "
