BioShock 2 is out next Tuesday, February 9. We’ve already taken you through the various preorder deals and limited editions, so today let’s find out where you can get the best BioShock 2 deal.

I’ve trawled through a bunch of online and traditional Aussie retail outlets, and here’s what I’ve discovered. Note: Console prices first then PC where different.

Aussie Gamer $69/$64 (PS3 version is actually $72)
CD Wow $73.95/$47.95
Chaos $92.79/78.76
Dick Smith $99
DVD Crave $79.95/$69.95
DVD Orchard $99.95/$87.95
EB Games $108/$98
GAME $109.95/$89.95 ($89/$74 web only price)
The Gamesmen $98.95/89.95
Gamehead $101.40/$86.10
Game Planet $94.95/$84.95
Games 101 $89.95/$79.95
Games Warehouse $99.95/$89.95
Game Zoo $99.95/$84.95
JB Hi-Fi $89/$79 (online price)
Quick Play $91.90/$78.52
WOW Sight & Sound $99.95

The top two are the clear winners here, especially since both Aussie Gamer and CDWow offer free delivery with their online orders. If you’re not interested in those limited editions then you may as well save heaps on the regular edition.

If you’ve spotted a better deal, let us know in the comments.

      Guess that means Big W will have it for $77 -they seem to announce their catalogue a day or two later and with big releases are $1 cheaper than Kmart…

      Well you don’t need to pay for any licencing to make a game for PC.

      Its inflated of course, but that extra charge for console games is basically Sony or Microsoft’s cut for using their platform.

      Very simple way of looking at it but its more or less accurate.

    $60-65 on Steam if you can get 3 mates to go in on the 4 pack.

    That also gets you a free copy of the first bioshock, if for some reason you haven’t played it yet.

    I am currently looking for a fourth so email me at degglet@gmail.com if anyone is keen to go in on this deal.

      If you buy through the us store, the price is 44.99 by itself or 129.99 (there about) for the 4 pack. It is unfortunate the we have to pay roughly double the price =|
