Where`s the best place to pre-order mw2 from that will guarantee day of launch or even before.i`ve got to order two copies of the game.

Shopto are selling it for £42.99 and they will ugrade the delivery method to UK Mail for free, so that it's not affected by Royal Mail Strikes. And you are guaranteed to get it on release day .

Here's the link

Gamestation have an instore offer on where you can get Modern Warfare 2 for £4.99 if you trade in 2 titles from the following list:

Overlord II
Operation Flashpoint: DR
COD4
WET
Borderlands
Smackdown Vs Raw 2010
Halo 3: ODST
Dirt 2
PES2010
Sacred 2
Star Wars: Clone Wars
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2

Which is a decent deal in itself if you were looking to trade them in anyway but Overlord II is on sale at at the moment for £10 over at Play.com so:

2 x £10 + £4.99 = £24.99

No restrictions on what you trade so no problems with trading in 2 copies of the same game, may be worth checking with your local store before heading in though!

You will probably have a problem trading in two of the same game to be honest mate

Ive ordered one from game which and used some of my points and apparently it`s being packed already,i`ll have a look at that one Leigh cheers.

[niteowl1980]

Most major chains like HMV, Game and Gamestation are doing nationwide midnight launches for the game so that might be a good option for you

[Ba5sett]

I traded two copies of Overlord II in no problem and a couple of my friends have done the same, but like I said probably worth giving your local store a call before heading over there to trade them in

Game have upgraded pre-orders to free courier delivery, coz of all the disruption caused by the Royal Mail strikes. I've pre-ordered mine for £44.99 and should get it by release date hopefully!

[ricklilley]

I was planning on trading in Cod 4 at Game with their half price offer.
But i've also got Dirt 2 and only need to enter 1 tournament to finish it, so might trade that in too.

mmm decisions decisions!!!

Game don't actually dispatch yet, they are being sly and processing payments so that people cannot cancel the orders and go elsewhere. They send them all off to a courier and 10000's are stored in big metal cages in a warehouse waiting for the 9th. Activision are being really strict with people selling the game early, and are threatening legal action if any retailer does.

So yeah, I'd rather shopto not take my money until it's actually been dispatched, and not have to wait every day from the day Game tell you it's being packed, to the release date hoping that the van that just pulled up outside has your copy with it, and feeling the dissapointment when they don't.

[Leigh36295]

Seen this being discussed here. Apparently Gamestation HQ have seen the play.com offer and are taking Overlord 2 off of the list.

[niteowl1980]

That post you have linked to is pretty correct in its detail of the trade in policies. Its probably just pot luck if you manage to get Overload 2 taken in trade. I have ordered one anyways as fancy owning it and £10 is still a bargain

[Mavriick]

Ok cheers for the info.

[XkurosakiX]

I've pre-ordered mine from gamestation. Will pick it up on the day plus if you have a student card it's 10% discount, so £40.50!
I think Toys R Us were selling it for £39.99 online but i'm not sure if it's free delivery or not.
Hope that helps.

my copy is coming from game being delivered to my work as there be no one in allday. hope for an early finish.
