Activision has shipped the Xbox 360 version of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance to retailers nationwide, with an MSRP of $60, but you don't have to pay full price.
Play-Asia.com is listing Marvel: Ultimate Alliance as a region free title, so you can import your copy for much closer to $40.
Region free games will usually come with foreign packaging and possibly unreadable manuals, but the game will play just fine in your console, as long as it is built to your video standard (NTSC in the United States). If you are eager to build a superhero team, but want to save some dough, get your orders in now, to allow for shipping time.
Delivering an all-new action-RPG experience, the game allows players to create their own dream team from the biggest roster of Super Heroes ever including Spider-Man, Wolverine, Blade and Captain America, and embark on an epic quest that will ultimately determine the fate of Earth and the Marvel Universe.
