Doesn't pay to be an independent games retailer these days. Amazon is now £32 as well.

I'm amazed this sort of competition isn't going down in the US, then again we're paying about the same as them at these prices anyway!

Wow, this is the mother of all price wars!

So Glad I never pre-ordered at £50 even if I would have got the game early.
So cheap now even Grift is turning his head.

I wasnt gonna buy MW2 at all, but for £20...thats rediculous, surely noone can be making money from that.

EDIT: I feel sorry for anyone paying RRP for it, and I also feel sorry for the small retailers who are being shafted by activisions high RRP, they cant even come close to the sorta discounts the big retailers are giving.

The independents have zero chance to compete. For FIFA, most of them ended up buying their stock from the supermarkets as it was about £7 less than the trade prices.

The supermarkets are taking the losses because it gets people into their stores. The dedicated outlets therefore have no choice but to try and compete. It must be a nightmare trying to build any brand loyalty in the country, people will just go with whoever is willing to take the biggest hit. No one outlet is able to do the same for each release.

Unless they are shoveling it out with a shitload of DLC to follow or even worse,
monthly charge for online play :/

Still i'm happy with a few hours of SP for £20 odd pound.

Heh, it is awesome, thing is I liked the game, i was pumped for it till all the shit came out of the woodwork and they increased the price, being a bargain bin game makes it a helluva lot more acceptable tbh.

For anyone who wants a cheap Sat Nav who has a PSP:
Picked up GO Explore for the PSP for £20, in store at currys. They also had the PSP camera things for a tenner.

Other gaming things in the clearance sale too but didn't have time to look.

There were a ton of sales on XBLA this week, but they may be over now. I'm surprised no one cared enough to mention it :P
