Any of you European gamers that are upset over the pricing will be happy to hear this:

"Grocery stores aren't typically known for great video game deals -- we can't remember any notable supermarket game purchases since our local Albertson's cleared out its NES rentals. But Sainsbury supermarkets in the UK have an offer worth noting: the retailer has cut the price of Modern Warfare 2 to just £26 ($43.76), an amazing £29 off the regular price.

Tesco is also offering a big price cut on Modern Warfare 2: it's £25 with the purchase of another bestselling game (The Guardian specifies "top-20" games), or £39.70 on its own. Tescos, which are open all the time anyway, will begin selling the game at midnight tonight, as will five Sainsbury's locations. Unless they're like stores in the US, in which case they began selling them last week."

Serves you right for pre-ordering :P

I have said this many times buying it from the shop at release is the best solution.

Because they are expecting to sell a sh*tload of copies. They did it with fifa10 too. Games cost very little to retailers when they buy them in huge quantities.

If you purchase stock in bulk it costs less.

Just saw the Sainsburys advert on Sky One, gotta say they got that advert out pretty quick. Shame you cant order it from their site.

 If you trade in COD4 then game are selling it at £29.99, which i thought was good until all these other deals have come out.

For the numerous people who came on here to say 'still dont want it' I cant believe you took the time to click on the thread about a game you dont want, no one actually cares you dont want it.

On topic, I am never pre ordering again cos of this, its stupid that people who wanted the game enough to pre order it are getting kicked in the nuts and robbed of £20+. I bet the people who bought prestige edition are gutted, £110 for NVG's they'll use once.
