It's nice to not be over charged once in a while, HATS OFF TO YOU SAINSBURYS shame i'm probably not going to buy this anyway.

I'll be at Sainsbury's close to opening time (7:30am) in anticipation. Will buy two, one for 360 and one Ps3 then decide which to keep. I should be able to either sell one for a profit or trade in towards L4D2.

it was obvious from the announcement of the £55 RRP that nobody would be paying £55, but i didn't think it would come to this.

been watching that £26 since the rumors started, but since i can see it being a total shambles at 8am i'll be checking out asda at 12:01.

@ runtheplacered

i don't actually want it, was going to boycott it because of the price hike (hate Activision) but realised that everyone on my friends list will be playing it and didn't wat to feel left out. i have some stingey friends who don't buy games till way after i've traded them in who i never get to play with!

Had some calls during work and messages saying "Ring me urgently" today, only to be a buddy telling me about this price war. Thought it was some kind of emergency.

So i looked into it and these supermarkets are offering that price on "the first batch of stock" and from what i read that is like 100/200 in most stores. Won't last 5 minutes.

so it's not a case of getting it tomorrow, it's a case of trecking to Sainsburys, finding out they don't have any left, trying the next supermarket etc etc.

Where as Blockbuster have £50 credit sitting in my account, a pre-ordered copy, and a midnight launch, so I can literally turn up, que a little and give them my name, no cash no early morning, no risk of them having run out. But £44.99 (+£5 rental vouchers) so it's only really like £14 cheaper, and will be a fucking ballache to get hold of.

Convincing myself that i wasn't going to get this game then dropping my morals at the last minute has me pretty pumped too.

I do love a midnight launch too, gamers coming together to que in the cold, got a nice big bag of weed last night, big sub in the boot of my car and will turn the Blockbusters que into party central! GTA4 launch was more fun than the game!

Anyone in Leamington Spa tonight, hit up Blockbusters launch and holler "Choco, where are you?" I'll be there.

HOYL SHIT I'M GOING TO FUCKING SAINSBURYS TOMORROW FUCK YEAH!!!

That image.

How is she so wrecked when all the bottles are still sealed?

something about a drunk girl laying on a table that makes me feel "rapey".

Looks like I'm off to Sainsbury's are they doing a midnight launch :)

that is the most annoying picture i've seen in a while. all of those containers are obviously unopened, making it quite lame.
and no, i didn't read the article.

@ volatilis

Someone slipped that chick a Floorie.

£26? Try £20 at Makro: http://www.makro.co.uk/servlet/PB/menu/1153441/index.html

Crazy.

I'm playing me some Battlefield Heroes!

Why is Kate Gosselin drinking herself into a stupor over this anyway?

rtpr - don't worry buddy, I only talked one mate into coming! But the guy at BB said they're expecting a couple of hundred, you don't need to know people to take the party to them. whoooooo!

Hmm. I was deliberately avoiding this because of the price hike and the dedi servers on PC... but £26 for the 360? Very tempting indeed.

@somnambulist: They are an accurate and informative graphical representation of the UK. Either that or I assume he's poking fun at places like Asda which are almost always inhabited by welfare-leeching chavs.

Welp hope this helps, gonna head to Tesco after college tomorrow and pick it up I think.

Yes, poor girl for laying down on the bar table with some unopened bottles and cans for a neat photo she can post on facebook the following morning (:

And boycotting is lol.
Is MW2 a good game? Yes.
Do we want good games? Yes.
Does a boycot from you change anything? No.
It's like, yeah, have fun not having fun, while the rest of us will.

that lady hasn't had a milliliter of that booze and she's already embarrassed of what she'll do; much like selling mw2 at a huge loss...

Hey cap sorry for your loss, but this...

"wow good job sainsburys, my xbox broke two days ago"

...makes my inner fanboy smile like a motherfucker. I know it's mean, sucks to be you, but I can't help but grin when i read one of those oh-so-common comments.

To say a boycott doesn't work is silly, of course it isn't going to achieve anything but it's the bloody principle of the thing. By buying it we've voted yes to a £55 RRP on AAA games.

Saying that i fucking bought it midnight last night.

I R Weaksauce.

The game is the fucking bollocks though.

I was totally off buying this game originally too... perhaps a little of the boycottishness, but chiefly because I wasn't that enamoured by the idea of the game as much as the hype suggested I should be. However. At that price (£26 Morrison's), I think I can afford to purchase a must-have-don't-really-need game. Bargain. I remember the original plummeted to £25 a couple of weeks after release too. Must say, these CoD games aren't costing me too much :)
