So now that I've snagged a copy for myself (been waiting on a reasonable price since Newegg had it for $40 around January), I can inform the lot of you that after being OCD about checking the prices of this product, (it was around $38 last week) it's finally dipped to below $30.
Best part is that the price keeps dropping (albeit slowly). I picked it up @ $29.05 (360 version, PS3 version is cheaper) and I've seen it dip 30 cents an hour or so ago and now it's dipped another 30ish cents to $28.22 (price as of right now).

Hate on the game all you want (I'm sure it'll disappoint me as a long-time AvP PC Series fan), but considering even K-mart has the vanilla version on Clearance for $20, and Amazon's selling the vanilla 360 version for $23 (which means no free shipping, PS3 version is cheaper) and the Hunter edition comes with DLC worth ~$7, this is a no-brainer if you've been waiting for a chance to get this game, like myself. MSRP was $100, btw, possibly the most I've saved on a CE/LE since I got Tekken 6 for $30 ($150 MSRP).

Sorry for not posting this in "cheap" LE/CE thread, but I figured this didn't deserve to get buried.

Xbox 360 ($27.83)

PS3 ($27.49)

Lol, I love how trading in the ENTIRE Hunter Edition only gets you an extra $1 as opposed to just trading the game in by itself.

Also, if your Facehugger model comes broken (like 99.999% of them), you can get a free one (including shipping methinks), you just need to give them the product code. I'll find a link when it's needed.

Edit: Almost forgot about the steelbook. NOW you have to get it! : D

even cheaper now. 27.83. when you click the link you then have to click the hunter edition button. im not sure ill bite on this. I know the facehugger will be broken and looking around the other forums it seems they maynot have anymore to give out.
ps3 is 50 cents cheaper.

Thanks op. Got a copy for 27.xx. says only a few copies left as well

Yeah, I know they had some limited offer on the replacement face huggers that were broken (I did receive one) and I believe the offer expired last year. If there was no expiration date, I am not sure they will not honor a 2 year old game that they are no longer producing and is not really selling. Just so you know, even though I received my replacement, I did not want my broken Facehugger to become garbage. Since it was a clean break, it was very easy to superglue back in place and it was perfect. I was able to bend and pose the tail without any issues.

So which version of the game runs better, Xbox 360 or PS3? I don't know which one I should get.

My shipment is due to arrive on Friday at the earliest, but living where I do I generally get my packages ahead of schedule, which is nice, so I'm expecting Thursday - Saturday arrival. I'll let you know the condition of my facehugger/the possibility of getting a replacement facehugger once it arrives. It'd suck to not get a replacement, but as Tars pointed out, it seems easy enough to re-glue and I wasn't planning on throwing my broken one out. (Side-note: I just bought RE: Umbrella Chronicles today, so your ava makes me wanna get on my Wii now.)

Glad I could at least help out bigsick with this deal, which I knew not many would appreciate as much as myself. Also, as kit352 pointed out, it's even cheaper now (and no tax to boot) so I stand by my previous opinion of this being a no-brainer for anyone who has yet to pick up the game.

Not sure which version runs better, the 360 version is more expensive, but that might be due to popularity. There really needs to be some sort of multiplatform comparison database.

One of the Amazon reviews mentions that the map pack code included with the Hunter Edition may have expired on 3/31/11. Anyone know if this is true? And if so, which version has expired? I know some PSN codes expire, though sometimes even ones that say they expire never really do. As far as I know, I've never seen an expired XBL code.

I don't think XBL codes ever expire. Some of the Joust and Ultimate MK3 codes from a few years back still work from what people have said.

I guess I'll find out when I get it, but I'm pretty sure there's no expiration date. However according to Activision's CoD 4 GotY, you can "run out" of codes. -_-

Haha at the OP. I've been eyeballing this too. I don't know why I won't just pull the trigger already.


Only 53 left...

At least it's not just me, we'll see how my package arrives and maybe that'll change your mind.

Also, I love FLCL, good taste indeed.

Received mine today. Facehugger was in perfect condition. I haven't tried the xbl code yet but will soon.

I bought the hunter edition 2 months ago on amazon, and the tail was broke. I superglued it back, and also requested a replacement on the sega site. Got a brand new unbroken one in the mail 2 weeks later, and put it back in the hunter box, and have the superglued one on display.

That is great if they are still honoring this replacement two years later. That makes this a no brainer for those skeptical if they don't want a broken facehugger. As the two of us have attested to, even if they did not honor the replacement still, you can easily superglue the broken one and display it just fine. The rubber binds to the glue really well and you can pose it without any issues. WIth that knowledge, you would have two poseable facehuggers for the price of one.

I had bought the standard edition used for $10 from Gamefly, thought this game was alright, wasn't great, but the variety in the sp campaign was amusing. However, I couldn't find a match online to get the rest of the achievements, eventually traded it.

Just bought one, thanks OP! I hope the facehugger comes okay because it seems pretty hard to get a replacement now

steelcase? can't tell from description...

Yes, the game comes with steelbook case, I have it. I bought it for the same price from Amazon about 2 months ago

If you get a broken facehugger, you can't use www.sega.com/facehugger to get a replacement. Go to sega's website, sign up for the free sega pass, then go to the support section. Submit a new support ticket, and on the page to pick what kind of issue you have, you'll see "facehugger replacement" listed. Select it and fill out your ticket. They will email you back asking for either a picture of the broken facehugger, or the DLC code from your game. Doesn't matter if you have used the DLC code or not, and it won't kill it if you haven't.

Anyone confirm yet if the DLC codes work or not?
