Mike Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 If I see a good deal, I will be sure to report back I suspect others may be scouting the t'interweb as we speak, and will hopefully post up their respective deals and save us all some cash soon. Or you might just get a bunch sarcastic/mildly abusive replies questioning your sexuality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a good idea. My local tesco usually has the best prices on games, but you only find out when they are released. So far the best on-line i've found is Toys R Us at £39.99, but there is a fiver delivery on top of that. I'm wondering if their in-store price will be the same? Best deal I found including del. is trusty old amazon at £43.99, but if you want it on the 10th you wont get it at that price. I'm limited at work because most sites related to games are blocked so it's hard to search. I'm wondering which shops will have the best prices though. Or you might just get a bunch sarcastic/mildly abusive replies questioning your sexuality? It's a distinct possibility Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't pay that much out of principle. Asda living normal sell there xbox games for £37.99 so i will be going there first Tesco do the same, but the price of MW2 has been artificially inflated by the producers so I'm wondering if the price on the shelves at the supermarkets will reflect this.

martini Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 £55 for a game is ridiculous. I wouldn't pay that much out of principle. N64 games were at that price or more (even more in today's money). Tesco do the same, but the price of MW2 has been artificially inflated by the producers so I'm wondering if the price on the shelves at the supermarkets will reflect this. You might be right - supermarkets sell some things at a loss hoping you buy other things (this tactic is used for low fuel prices). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt H Posted November 3, 2009 Author Share Posted November 3, 2009 N64 games were at that price or more (even more in today's money). Indeed they were. I remember walking into beaties (them were the days), to find Mortal Kombat Trilogy was £70!! or £69.99 to be pricise. Insane. Nintendos biggest mistake in the console wars was their pricing with the N64 You might be right - supermarkets sell some things at a loss hoping you buy other things (this tactic is used for low fuel prices). Aye, but they usually end up selling the really cheap every day stuff even cheaper to make sure you come back in each day. We will just have to see on the 10th I quess. http://www.google.co.uk/products?hl=en&source=hp&q=modern%20warfare%202&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wf I've often found google shopping to be an uncomprehensive list that doesn't usually give you the best deals. I've search google shopping on at least 2 occasions now to find that when I did a normal search I found it cheaper via a weblink rather than the shopping list.

Mike Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 This is the biggest game of the year (it has it's own 'blast zone' in terms of release date), so I would expect a full-on price war when it comes out. If a retailer is going to shift units, they're going to have to go insane to undercut each other. I would fully expect to see this at around £35 mark for supermarkets like Tesco and Asda - if the supply is there.. which it dam well will be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonT Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Tesco do the same, but the price of MW2 has been artificially inflated by the producers so I'm wondering if the price on the shelves at the supermarkets will reflect this. I was told by Game that the producers stuc £10 on top of the retail price because of the success of COD 4! Its rather greedy but it obviously hasnt put anybody off as its one of the most pre-ordered games in history apparantly and it personally wont stop me buying it as i want it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't be buying it at anything over £45 max. If I can get it for £35 like Mike reckons that I'll hold out for that I think. Greedy developers aren't taking my pennies!

ozz Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I assume you mean xbox version? I've ordered the PC version for £34.89 delivered. £44.89 for the xbox though. If you can be bothered then you can get it cheaper: http://www.thedvdforums.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=585225 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porky1978 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Apparently they are aiming to be the biggest selling game in history. Considering that Pokemon has sold close to 40 million thats a big ask. I think they are gonna have to sell it at 35-40 quid to get those sort of sales figures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
