Sainsbury's/Morrisons cheapest for MW2 News

Food palaces Sainsbury's and Morrisons are the cheapest places to buy Modern Warfare 2.
The PS3 or Xbox 360 game can be yours for just £26. Well, in theory, as it's currently out of stock in Sainsbury's.
Your next best bet is either Tesco or Amazon.co.uk, where the console versions cost £32 and the PC version around 30 quid.
Failing that, then GAME and ShopTo are selling Modern Warfare 2 for £42.99/£34.99.
After those you're left with the pack: ASDA, Argos, Gamestation, Play.com, HMV, where the game sells for £44.99/£34.99.
Alternatively, you could try eBay, which is littered with dirt-cheap listings awaiting bidders.
Local store prices may differ. Please let us know if they do, as we love a bit of gossip-slash-news.

Got mine from Sainsbury's this morning on the way to work, about 8.50am. No queueing, no fussing.

Just snagged a PS3 MW2 for 26 GBP, bargain.
Woodnotes is right about Makro's 20 GBP offer, which makes MW2 the cheapest AAA launch game evar! |

IMadeThis beat me to it. Makro kind of doesn't count as not everyone has access to that offer.
Eurofailer! (boy, I feel oh-so clever for that massive zinger!) |

jonsaan, won't GameStation price-match local shops? Return it for credit, price-match, re-buy. Done!

There are no other links to click though. Everything is MW2 |

Those pesky supermarkets certainly make a mockery of any of the value pre order deals.
Good news for 2nd hand though, I would have thought. If you can buy brand new for £26 it sort of sets the ceiling for what a retailer can charge for a used copy. Also shatters Kotecks dream to see this as the most expensive game of the current crop. HA. |

Everything is MW2 Current front page: 28 headline stories. Number of non-MW 2 stories: 19 (more than half). 9 ≠ everything. |

Still looking for a good (sub £30) deal on the PC version.
I have a feeling I may be looking for a while. |

In that case, why don't you go elsewhere? Nobody is forcing you to read every EG news story. If you click on the news and then make a comment about it you are giving EG more page hits, meaning they will continue publishing more stories about it. |

"Also shatters Kotecks dream to see this as the most expensive game of the current crop. HA."
See you are missing the point (like many who think they have a "bargain".) Koteck IS laughing because the retailers paid him what he wanted but took a knock themselves for you. They can do it for COD because you are all scrambling over each to get it. Other games you won't be so lucky.... |

I doubt that. this is the early bird deal and once it has run out they'll crank it back up to 44.99 or whatever and the 2nd hand deals won't be much below that figure. COD4MW took forever to come down in price as well. makro do it for £20... interesting. might just check that one out since I didn't manage to get a copy from sainsbury. + as before, how long do they offer it for that much money? since it's out of stock online as well offline ;) |

Step 1: Buy for £26 from supermarket
Step 2: Sell to CEX for £35 Step 3: Make £9 profit per unit http://www.cex.co.uk/products/Gaming/Con... |

My solution is simpler (though only because I'm only interested in the single player mode).
Wait till everything calms down a bit. Rent game for a weekend. Finish it. Return it. Total cost, £5 (or less if I get it via Lovefilm). |

first in the queue outside the big ol' sainsburys in hayes. they had the mw2 stand near the doors so we could all watch as the staff took over half the ps3 copies for themselves before opening! once they opened, grabbed a copy then the hundred or so people behind just fuckin stampeded in and took out the whole stand - people diving to grab copies off the floor, it was pretty funny

If you didnt get arseholes going in and buying 10 copies to flog on ebay/cex etc and therefore driving the price up then these supermarkets wouldnt be sold out and there would be enough copies for everyone at these prices - shame the odd arrogant few are so desperate to make an extra £20/£30. I already have my copy from sainsburys so no sour grapes from me - just think its out of order - heard stories of people buying 13+ copies from morrisons. No different from ticket touting.

Morrisons here too. Popped in there to pick up a loaf of bread, saw the queue at the electronics checkout, had a nosey buchers to see how much they were charging (had no intention to pick it up just yet... too many other games unfinished), saw it was £25.99 and decided it was too much of a bargain to miss. Lots of copies left too.

when I went into Game last week, pre-owned MW1 was still more expensive (£35) than a lot of the new titles. crazy really. It's not going to be sub-£40 anywhere for long is it
