DJ Kevintron sent us an email earlier tonight with the release date and prices for the upcoming Transformers Movie games. Here's what he wrote:

"Starting Friday EB Games/GameStop have strated taking preorders for the forth coming Transformers the Movie Games.

The Games Have a Street Date of June 19th, 2007 (that means in store on that day - not next day like most dates).

XBOX 360 TRANSFORMERS $59.99
XBOX 360 TRANSFORMERS COLLECTORS EDITIONS $69.99 (Extras are not known at this time)
PS3 TRANSFORMERS $59.99 (NO COLLECTORS EDITION LISTED)
PS2 TRANSFORMERS $39.99 (YEAH I'M SURPRISED TOO)
PSP TRANSFORMERS $39.99
WII TRANSFORMERS $49.99
DS TRANSFORMERS:AUTOBOTS $29.9
DS TRANSFORMERS:DECEPTICONS $29.99

GAMES ARE LISTED AS RP RATING PENDING

All EB GAMES/GAMESTOP stores are running 10% extra for trade-ins used towards preorders in stores. There maybe a cut off for collectors edition preorders so if your interested do it soon. You can order any version in any EB GAMES/GAMESTOP store or at gamestop.com.

Finally if you live anywhere near Burlington New Jersey, pre-order your copy from store 4526 Burlington Mall, a certain Seibertronian would be most happy;-)

-DJ Kevintron

P.S. If you're interested, I already pre-ordered both DS versions and the XBOX360 CE."

Thank you for sharing this information with us, DJ Kevintron.

So we're looking at about:
AU$100 for the Wii
AU$130 for the XBOX 360 and PS3
and about AU$60 for the DS games.

about what I expected, especially the price of the PS2 game, prices for new PS2 games have been getting cheaper and cheaper, even though the PS3 hasnt even been released yet.

How can you be suprised about PS2 when PS3 is still so hard to find and (awesome though it may be) overpriced?

News Credits: 1 · by **Ninja Sixshot** » Fri Mar 09, 2007 11:50 pm

still deciding if its worth my $50. and no gamecube version? whats with that?

by **dabattousai** » Fri Mar 09, 2007 11:55 pm

Because GameCube is crap and the Wii is something that came from God (Reason for it being White and Innocent)

Anyways, I need to see video footage before I decide whether or not to buy a Wii Copy, PS3 Copy and DS Copy because I know that not all Movie Games are great.

you want all 3?! you must be rich or something

by **truemore** » Sat Mar 10, 2007 12:02 am

the reason there is no gamecube version is because nintendo has classified it as a dead system, and are only developing new games for the Wii. the only GC games that we will get over here are translated games from japan.

As for the PS3 it dose kick ass but is really easy to find. If i wanted to i could have gotten at least half a dozen in the past month. and that is without trying to find them.

Count me in on a 360 Collectors Edition.

by **Springer** » Sat Mar 10, 2007 2:52 am

Isn't there supposed to be a PC version too?

News Credits: 5 · by **Yeti** » Sat Mar 10, 2007 4:34 am

360 CE and both DS games will be mine, oh yes.

News Credits: 1 · by **mattyc1007** » Sat Mar 10, 2007 5:37 am

That may be the single most non intentional racist thing I've ever seen posted on the boards. :shock:

I prolly won't bother with pre-orders. I doubt it will go flying off the shelves. Either way, I have friends at my local EB so they always put stuff aside for me when they think I'll like it.

Dog. Wii ain't from god if he Wii was from god than god hates tv. I have freinds at a local EB Games too. I have my 360 CE preordered and my PSP preordered and when I read the interview it sounded cool. I think that when it comes out in mags and tv spots it will get people thinking. Protect earth or Destroy it.

a lot of people here just get way too excited. they see one damn screenshot and assume this will be the game of the year or something. anyone who really follows games knows that there's still a way better chance it'll suck then be decent, hell we haven't even seen a second of gameplay footage.

No price on the PC version? Oh right, torrents are free.

by **jonusjaxon** » Sat Mar 10, 2007 11:24 am

PC version will be $40-50, but I'm guessing. That's the version I want. I also have a 360 so I'll have to wait and see what the collector's edition comes with. Also, modders could probably come up with some cool stuff for the PC version like G1 character models.

Others have seen game play footage. From what I hear it plays well and the graphics are amazing. I certainly don't think it will be game of the year, but I think it will do well.

Exactly. I'm getting that one too, because I'm a PC gamer and I don't have any console besides my NES and my brother's Super NES.

Anyone know what engine they're using for this game?

"anyone who really follows games knows that there's still a way better chance it'll suck then be decent"

Intellectual elitism? On a message board? Surely not!

A lot of fans are looking forward to it. Some because it's Giant Robots Breaking Things. Some because they like the premise. Some purely because they really want to throw an oil tanker at someone. There's no need to piss in their cheerios because you're not convinced.

Speaking of not being convinced, I'm not sure there's going to be a PC version. I think this means I'm going to buy either a Wii or a DS.

Sad, but true. And if you look at the track record of Movie tie-ins on PC, that may not be so bad.

Just buy a PS2. They're $130 now. Probably less, if it's used.

As long as it doesn't turn out like Spider-Man 2 for PC, I'm happy.
