The EB website isn't listing Modern Warfare 2 on PC but still lists the console versions, and the link to the trade-in list for EB isn't working either, probably gonna pick this up for PC like I did with the first game.

I'm glad new release games are no longer being charged at $119. I think retailers realize that they sell more with a lower price point.

I'm just glad I went with Game on the web and pre-ordered the PC version - instant $20 off the price, bringing it down to JB's level and meaning I don't have to beat the rest of the population back with a bat trying to get a copy in-store.

Kmart it is for me. Too bad I've got another major essay due tomorrow, I might have to wait a couple of days to grab this one.

Didn't preorder so just went in last night, paid for the standard edition on PC (which was the only version available for it anyway apparently) about 11PM, had the second ticket so was literally in and out. They price-matched with the 360/PS3 JB price so I walked out with it for $82. I was happy enough with that, not desperate for that extra $3 LOL.

Logged in via US Steam, 65 bucks tyvm, and my cap rolled over last night so I exploited the time before I would get shaped / rolled over and preloaded the data (and left4dead2). Yay for cheap games. lol

Just picked up the 360 version for $78 at big W this morning. Looking forward to playing it. I know most will jump straight into the multiplayer but I am very interested in how the single player mode will play out.

@ Zhou. All you need to do is pay with a cc. Goto the site with http://store.steampowered.com/?cc=us (you can use any country code to access other countries also, such as ?cc=uk or ?cc=ca ,etc). Then when you enter your billing details enter everything like normal then select the country from the drop down list according to what you set the url as (e.g. United States if you did ?cc=us). I did this method also, but got it from UK (was like a dollar cheaper than US with exchange). It works perfectly, I got L4D2 like this also (and it was uncensored!)

Couldn't get a copy today

JB in Brisbane CBD was closed at lunch because a fire alarm went off. EB and GAME wouldn't match the Trade 3 Get it Free offer.

I went back to JB at 5pm and found out when I got there that they wouldn't do the Trade in because their computers were still down

It was too late to get to another store (MacGregor is closest to where I live) because they closed at 6pm.

They better not have sold out by tomorrow, because I wanted to pre-order/reserve a copy on Monday, but they couldn't be bothered and told me "we won't sell out, we have tonnes of it out back".

Concerning the EB Games trade-in link:

Due to recent upgrades to their site I'm afraid the link has been taken down and not replaced (eg. no trade-in exclusions list etc).

I have removed the link from the article. Cheers.

What the... false advertisement, much?

Please update the Myer one, we're stocking it for $89.

EDIT: We also price-match.

We don't do trade-ins, so someone on staff's obviously clocked out, or was trippin' or sometthing XD

Good deal though!

But yeah, we have it for PS3 and 360 only, don't come looking for PC copies with us. During the day no one was coming in, and I thought "oh no one buys good games at Myer obviously", but then later in the day there was a sudden huge influx once JB etc had sold out.

EDIT: Sorry, didn't realise you meant GAME in the Myer Centre, Adelaide. Obviously, they do trade-ins

My apologies with the Myer price. Was a typo.

And you got me confused for a moment there, was about to say I was in JB Adeliade and they had plenty of copies when I was in there at 2pm today. Didn't realise you were talking about another state.

I got the Hardened edition $94 from kmart, is that good?

Big W doesn't have it for $78. My mum told them, they said a lot of people mentioned that price but it was still $82. Oh well.

GoldenEyeRa · Posted: Wed Nov 11, 2009 1:29 am�� Post subject:

Sorry Joseph, neglected to mention that XD Thanks for changing the price.

The JB closest to me isn't all too big, and knowing hardcore CoD fans, the people that rang me in-store probably didn't even ask at the counter at JB if they had sold out of all stock or just floor stock.

Ah well, plenty to go around for everyone

Just rang JB Brisbane CBD and their computer system is still out of action, so they won't do any Trade-Ins... Getting this game is becoming such a drama.

This round-up is out of date, actually. Most of the sales ended last week or will be ending today, so I'm not correcting or changing anything. For all MW2 prices, please see this week's Australian Gaming bargains feature. Thank you.
