Modern Warfare 2 - who's getting it and how?

Jaynestown · October 22, 2009, 08:12:47 PM

I have a dilemma. I'm quite tempted by Game's deal to get Modern Warfare 2 for half price if I trade in COD4, but I have reservations:

1) I feel I'd be selling myself out if I actually end up paying for a game that will be over-priced purely beacuse of it's "name"
2) I don't want to trade in COD4 and then find everyone else here has kept it and then I can't join in when we play it on Friday nights
3) As all of the achievements in COD4 are single player there's still a chance I could get most of them (although it'll take several million hours I suspect 'cos I'm really not that good at it) and being the blossoming score whore that I appear to be I may regeret the trade in.
4) I'm not sure how much I'll enjoy MW2, knowing how poor I am at COD4!

Since number 2 above may very well be the tie-breaker I was curious to know who here is going to get MW2, and who will be trading in their copy of COD4 to get it? If everybody is going to hang on to COD4 then I don't want to trade it in, which means I've either got to pay full whack for MW2, or wait a while until it comes down in price. (Or find some other way of getting it at a more sensible price... ASDA, Tesco, are you reading this? Do us a favour and sell it for £30 on the day of release!!!)

Currently i've got it pre-ordered at both Game & Gamestation and will most likely take up the half price offer at Game unless the supermarkets have a big price war, i've played COD4 twice in 12 months so i'm not bothered about trading it in, but like Failed has said elsewhere, the price for COD4 will most likely drop big time once MW2 has been released so i'll probably buy it again cheap in the New Year.

I hadn't thought of that. If my bloody car hadn't decided to need a couple of hundred pounds worth of work on it yesterday I'd have probably bitten the bullet (even though I initially said I wouldn't get it) and got it from wherever is selling it cheapest. Now I can't afford to do that. I've had to cancel my pre-order of Forza 3 as well

which is just as annoying as I was looking forward to that.

If only someone would have the decency to invent transporters I could ditch my car and not have that expenditure to worry about!!! $:-\$

Once I 100% COD4, I plan on trading it in since I never play it online.

However, that won't be for some time. I'll probably end up getting MW2 before I complete COD4.

I'm considering buying the MW2 Elite Bundle for the 250HDD, controllers and game. Then sell the console to someone that likes that kind of crap.

I'm not getting rid of cod 4.No way. I'm getting MW2 on pre-order from blockbuster for myself and Charlie-who wants it for PS3.
So,I'm buying 2 copies.What a mug!
I can't wait to get it so I can fill my gamertag with them all in numerical order.Ha ha ha....

You'll have to get CoD 1 too. Then bug Treyarch to bring out 'The Big Red One'

Quintillus · October 26, 2009, 01:03:40 AM

I will probably not be getting it because I need to tight my belt.Because I have already spend enough money in this month only and also because I do not agree with high prices.

Lukehi · October 26, 2009, 08:20:42 AM

I wont be getting it bang on release cos I dont get paid until the 15th! Probably pick it up somepoint after that.
