Best place to buy Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3

Does anyone know the best place to buy this? Last year I pre-ordered it for my son but it didn't arrive on the day so I ended up going to Sainsburys and buying it for £25. So this year I haven't pre-ordered (much to my son's disgust) but am now getting worried that Sainsburys won't be doing their special price again and we might end up having to pay more for it. DS also wants the hardened edition but I've said NO as it is so expensive. As I haven't got a clue about this game has anyone got any advice please. We would be getting it for the Xbox

    Figured out the cheap way to do this. The hardened edition will give you the standard game, premium access to COD:Elite for one year, and a few bits and bobs in the box. Cost? Around £80 if you can find it anywhere.

    Tesco are doing the standard game for £25 on Tuesday IF you buy 2100 MS points (@ £16.99) at the same time. Premium COD:Elite will cost 4200 MS points.

    So get the game and 4200 points in Tesco for £58.98. There is also a voucher (was in yesterdays Sun) for £5 off when you spend more than £40, bringing the price down to £53.98.

    DS will then have the game, all the benefits of Elite, and you won't have paid over the odds.

    (also works with a £25 PSN card).

    edit: forgot to mention that this is instore only.

    Also spoke to Gamestop who have a huge list of trade in titles, any 3 of which will get you the standard game for £3.00

    List includes GTA IV, MW2, Black Ops etc, etc.
  • Thanks for up-date, looks like I am off to Tesco's on Tuesday.

    What is the 'hardened edition' please? (I don't know what access to Elite means?)

    Hardened edition is a pack where you get the mw3 game and the future map packs will be available for free to hardened owners.

    And elite is a part of call of duty mw3 that needs membership and gives you access to special leaderboards challenges etc

  • Don't be surprised if the instore tescos and other retailers don't have this in stock as you can pre-order in store and tesco pre-orders on direct and entertainment get allocated before stores get there allocations too
