Not likely, no shops have been selling it over £40, the supermarkets have been clsoer to £30 or less. Activision rrp plan < Good old Capitalist price wars.Littaly said:

No surprise to me.
More than half my friends on psn has the game and frankly I can't wait to get the game myself but I would rather wait until I find a cheap Prestige package of the game.

I'm not suprised, is anyone else?
The British expression for "Holy Crap!" generally tends to be either "Oh my!" or "Bloody Hell!"

British for holy crap, is "My Word"
And this doesnt surprise me. I went to one of my local midnight openings, HMV and Game right next door to each other. There were easily about 500 people there throughout the night so yeah, this really doesnt surprise me. does it really surrise anyone? i mean come on, we were all expecting this to be bigger than everything in the history of ever

This is a BAD thing people, Activision was charging 10 Pounds More than the equivalent NA retail price in England, BECAUSE THEY KNEW IT WOULD SELL. Yes that's right, England has just validated Activisions belief that they can charge whatever the hell they want and the dumb consumers won't give a crap.
So yes, hooray.
So yes, hooray.
Except if what most people wrote is to be believed, most people got it for less than most PC games sell for these days - stories of £26 and £32 sales, compared to the possible £50 Activision wanted to sell it for.PedroSteckecilo said:
That's very nearly half price.
So... wait, retailers are going against recommended pricing? Really?Amnestic said:
This might actually be a good thing, can anyone corroborate this with figures?
Wow. I'm simultaneously trying to figure out why we needed the image of one sales record sexually abusing another, and attempting to scrub aforementioned image from my mind. The Thatcher pic was disincentive enough to continue reading without the register-tape rape.
Sainsbury's-£26PedroSteckecilo said:
ASDA-£32
Macro-£18
GAME-£35
HMV-£35
Play.com- £35 with their weird special media pack thing [http://www.play.com/Games/PC/4-/10109313/Call-Of-Duty-Modern-Warfare-2/Product.html], £45 without.
Tesco-£40
Morrisons- £26
As for figures related to sales, couldn't tell you. I don't even know if they collect specific retail sales for supermarkets.
Changing those to dollars is a 1:1.65~ exchange rate and 1:1.11 for euros, so Sainsbury's is approximately $43 and ?28.86

I'm honestly not surprised at this. I mean... If Infinity Ward or Activision let slip even a tiny [small]tiny[/small] little thing about the game, was it ignored? No. It was plastered all over the internet 20 seconds before it was actually said.
