Modern Warfare 2

[ItsThere]

None in Sainsbury's at Green Park but I sent my Mother out into Sheffield and she bagged a ?26 copy. Last 360 one too!

Plenty of Wii and PS3 for the same price app.

GAME will be keeping fairly quiet and hoping to make their cash on the second hand sales of it. Something the supermarkets and most of the online shops don't do.

Ha ha ha, just had Gameplay's newsletter about MW2 which says:

Quote:
We could write anything here. Seriously. It hardly seems to matter. Modern Warfare 2 is the culmination of years of scientific research into the mating habits of the Thomson's Gazelle, and is released on the 10th of November to an eager zoological crowd. Or not. You know what it is. You've probably already ordered it. See you online!

Glad I made someone smile at least.

Went into my hmv today while i was in the city and they had about a dozen prestige editions behind the counter on display, i saw quite a few people buying 2 copies too, strange - i guess some people like it SO much, they buy 2?

Is that you?!

Man, it must be tough trying to write interesting stuff each week to people who probably know it all already!

Ha ha, It's not Shakespeare, but the fact you take to write something that's not the usual cut 'n' paste from the promo blurb is appreciated.

You realise, I'm demanding my money back if it doesn't feature the mating habits of the Thompson Gazelle?

I saw a few people buying multiple copies of the game in Morrisons when I was there today, but thats becuase of the cheap price, i cant imagine why people would want two of the already stupidly expensive special edition. That does seem odd.

Considering the hype, maybe they were so desperate to play it that they bought two to make sure that if one was faulty they could just stick the other one on as soon as they got home.

Just c&ping this from the bargains forum -

The leamington sainsburys must of had about 80+ people. I was around number 30 (arrived at 6:45) and ended up getting my copy around 7:40 with more and more still arriving and joining the queue.

Also to add, two lads in front of me were buying 5 copies (although we kept telling them it was 1 each). When they got to the till after almost an hour of queueing (and some bad looks as there were murmerings of them running out of copies) and they said one copy each only lads.... and how old are you. Turns out only one had ID so they both left with one copy There were about 10 360 copies left with another 30 odd queueing. There were loads of ps3 copies though.

Got mine at morrisons this morning (THANKS TESCO DIRECT YOU MUPPETS!) for £24.60.

Got 10% off with discount card, bargain of the year.

Oh and they had 100 copies in of each format.

If you're trying to avoid spoilers, don't read the article on the BBC site in the technology section

Just got this from Game, loads of copies behind the counter! Traded in CoD4 and World at War, then used ?2.50 on my loyalty card to get it for ?11.99. Bargain!

[gamelife]

got mine this morn from sainsbury. turned up around 7 and there was a cue of around 100 ppl. had to wait about 30 mins but got my ?26 copy : )

[Skull Commander]

I've been avoiding all articles. Seems there are a lot of them around today, telling of plot details. THey shouldn't be allowed to do it

[Spatial]

The BBC had a massive one slipped into their article.

Good job I'd already had it spoiled for me or I would have been fuming.

That's the one I saw! Seemed to be a pretty innocuous article about sales figures and then a massive spoiler right in the middle of it.

The game is a masturbatory aid for chavs and dole sponges tho you got to admit

If this is just a game for chavs why do you seem to be following it so closely. Your just trolling in here and the first play thread trying to get a rise how sad.

I find it funny that this game series has gone from being a well respected series too a punchbag for the elitist crowd.

Got mine from tesco for £25 during my final break on my night shift (4:15am). You had to buy another top 20 chart game game to get it for £25 but I wanted Ghostbusters and that was 10 pounds cheaper than what Game sell it for so a bargin im my eyes. Plus I got me a 5p of a litre of petrol coupon too
Nice not having to go battling through the crowds.
There were loads of peeps in store at midnight. Never seen the store so busy late at night other than at xmas. Loads buyin beer, crisps, pizza. Haha.
