Re: Modern Warfare 2 - xbox 360 & PS3 - £26 @ Sainsburys

Retailers often have arbitrary release dates in their systems so that date doesn't mean it's necessarily not true.

Thread at HotUKdeals has been pulled.

Sounds too good, to be true and can't believe so many would vote it hot when there's no real proof.

If it is true for one day only then all the other supermarkets will have it at that price. though £26 sounds way too goo to be true.

That's because they are developed by different companies.

Infinity ward are amazing and made the orignal (good) PC versions, plus COD2, COD4 MW, and COD MW2.... all regarded as awesome.

However they have a 2 yr development cycle which they wouldn't change and as Activision (Publisher) want to cash in on the COD franchise each year, so they get Treyarch to develope versions in between... they did earlier PS2 versions and then COD3, and COD5 WAW... No coincidence they were both gash by comparison. The only reason WAW was talked up by many was becasue they acquired the Infinity Ward engine to develope it on i believe.

I have only bothered with the Infinity Ward games and can't wait to get hold of MW2.

Re: Modern Warfare 2 - xbox 360 & PS3 - £26 @ Sainsburys

Well I'm off to Sainsburys for my weekly shop tommorrow. Its the London Colney one which is one of the largest stores and open 24/7. Two questions
be grateful if anyone has the answer:

1..Can I reserve a copy when I go tommorrow?
2..As its a 24/7 store will they sell me a copy at 12.01am on the Tuesday if I go late Monday night? Sains dont seem to do the whole midnight rush thing like Asda etc as far as i'm aware....

cheers

Jeez, me and mensy have been discussing this in the main thread, only to find out there's yet another seperate thread going on. This is getting rediculous.

This did start in the COD forum section, but was moved (not by me) to the bargain section

Re: Modern Warfare 2 - xbox 360 & PS3 - £26 @ Sainsburys

I almost picked up MW the other day but I ended up leaving it as I thought it was quite a lot of money for a game that was about to be surpassed. I then began wondering if I needed to play it first.

Any idea where the cheapest place to get it from is? Either 360 or PS3, not worried either way.

Re: Modern Warfare 2 - xbox 360 & PS3 - £26 @ Sainsburys

Popped into Sainsbury's in Charlton on my travels today. I saw the computer stock screen with my very own eyes and that it is £26 on PS3 / 360. No mention of it being for 24 hours either. They have 111 copies for the PS3 and funnily enough the customer service desk and computer stated that it will be on sale as of tomorrow morning. I was told to go back at 7am tomorrow morning to pick up my copy. How true this is I don't know.
