Looking to buy the latest instalment of the Marvel v Capcom franchise? There are clear best buys online and on the high street, as well as some good trade deals
Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds is the first big console release of the year, in which you get to battle as Spiderman and other Marvel comic characters against arcade greats such as Ryu from Street Fighter.
The game also has an online facility so you can take on other players from around the world in three-on-three tag team fighting.
Marvel vs Capcom 3 is available for both PS3 and Xbox 360. Price check karate kicks the RRP of �49.99 and seeks a better deal for money-saving gamers without the need for kryptonite or its Lycra clad suit.
Best buys
The best online price is from Simply Games for both Xbox 360 and PS3 at �29.85 ? the only company breaking the �30 barrier.
If, however, you cannot wait a few days for delivery then pop into Asda, which is selling the game for both platforms at �32.97. As it's not a specialist gaming shop its advisable to call ahead before you set off.
Next best high street price is with Game, which is selling both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions for �37.99.
Trading in old games
We took a quick snapshot of prices being offered by Game this week, as well as sold prices on eBay.
Trading in Halo Reach at Game would get you �10 off the price of Marvel vs Capcom 3. But it fetched between �16 and �17.88 on eBay, minus commission charges.
If you went to Game with a copy of Gran Turismo 5 for the PS3 you would get �30, making the cost of Marvel vs Capcom 3 just �7.99. In contrast, a used copy of GT5 sold yesterday on eBay for �24.95 including postage.
Other trade in prices at Game include Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood for Xbox 360 at �22. Interestingly, you can buy a brand new copy of this for only �21.85 at Simply Games.
Other stores accepting old games in part exchange include Asda.
