Default Resident evil 6 collectors edition (pal uk/europe)

Hi guys

Was searching to buy resident evils 6 collectors edition for ps3 and for the life of me i cannot find a sealed one under 100 pounds in any major online shops or ebay.

Now i know at some time game had them for like 60-65 pounds.

What happened in the meantime and the price went so high?

Reason im asking: There is probably a chance i can buy it from a local shop for 100 euros.( aprox80-85 pounds)

Bottom line...should i grab it or is there a place i can find it cheaper?

It dropped to about GBP50 if I remember rightly but then sold out everywhere so the price seems to have gone back up. I personally don't like it (gamestop was better) so haven't followed it much lately but just checking on ebay the best price is GBP80 so that deal you've found might be quite good.

I'm not really much help to be honest

Well thank you for your thoughts. Im very close on making the decision to buy it...but something holds me back considering how poor the edition is...i dont think its worth 100 euros ( i would pay 60 though).

But as a collector and knowing that i may not be able to find it again in a decent price...it makes my wallet side pocket itch.

Any last thoughts from anyone else?

Yeah, I got it on release, and was highly disappointed by the box. It is a plain brown shipping box, which GameStop have had a slipcover printed for. And by slipcover, I mean a sheet of gloss paper with a sticky tabbed end to allow the cover to be wrapped around. But it's about 1-2cm too short to be wrapped around properly, so leaves either a horrible white/sticky bit showing at the side, or it ends up ripping when you try to wriggle it off of the box. I ended up getting a replacement slipcover, but I was to stick it myself, but I've just left the sticker tab with the peel-off bit on it, since it won't fit anyway (I got the replacement as I thought my first one was faulty, when in fact, the second one wouldn't fit round it either).

I contacted GameStop and explained that the slipcover is too short width-ways to wrap round the box, and all they said was "Yes we know" Grr xx
