Unreal Tournament 2004 special 2 DVD edition (includes logitech mic headset), $39.99 SHIPPED EB games preorder

[Razorguts]

ripped this from our friends at chubby billfold:

preorder UT2k4 from EB Games for $39.99, shipping included.

This is the double-DVD special edition which ships with full game content, as well as 150hrs of Unreal University classroom lectures, etc. This special edition also comes packaged in a collectible metal case, inside of which is a UT car emblem and a logitech headset (which sells for $25 alone, btw).

EDIT: there's also a $10 MIR in the box for you guys that already purchased UT2k3. You'll need either a copy of the ut2k3 receipt, the UPC from the UT2k3 box, or the manual from within the ut2k3 box. Brings this deal down to $29.99, hot as hades imho.

Logitech Headset linky

EB Games UT2k4 linky

Again, note this is the special edition, not the standard edition (which amazon (and also GoGamer) is selling for $35). Special edition has retail price of $60...

You can also preorder this at B&M EB for same price, but you'll pay tax of course. EBGames.com seems better deal since no tax and free shipping.

enjoy

The first annual Unreal University, a two-day tutorial covering techniques for creating mods for the Unreal Tournament 2004 game engine, was held at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA, on November 8th and 9th, 2003.

FYI BestBuy.com has it for the same price, also with free shipping.

Looks good, but I refuse to preorder anymore after HL2

 

[rile0161]

But unless I am mistaken, that is the standard version.


I couldn't resist. I bit. This is smokin!

 

[cdub]

I am amazed, great deal. That headset was the deal-maker for me. The university features should be good as well.

 

[pxc]

Thanks! Used some of the EBGames "trade-in bounty" codes from those cheap $5 CC games. It cost me $24.76 to buy 4 games and mail them in for $52 in credit codes.

Cost after $10 discount for buying UT2003 (which itself cost only $10): 4/5 of the $24.76 cost for 4 games/postage = $19.83 - $10 UT2003 MIR = $9.83AR for UT2004 SE + $10 for UT2003. I paid under $20AR for UT2003 + UT2004 SE + bonus!

Best Buy currently is charging $39.99 for the standard version and also is charging $39.99 for the "special" version. That makes it an easy choice if you are going to buy at Best Buy ...

[Neyd3400]

I got in on this as well when I saw it in FW. I don't see it written here, but NO TAX thru EB.

check the EB link in the original post. Once there, check the pic of the box, click on "view back of box", look under contents, you'll see it says Logitech headset included, though it makes no mention of USB interface.

 

[Drizzy]

So how do you know that link provided at the top is the Logitech headset included? That is nicer than one I would expect to get as an included item.
