You have to pay for shipping for the US amazon? Is free in the UK for anything over £5.


In the UK amazon usually ships on the day of release, meaning you get it a few days later.


I'd order online somehwere that promises delivery BY release day.

Amazon offers free shipping for anything over $25. I use it all the time, however they also ship your games 1 week late. I don't really care that they are 1 week late if it saves me $50 over the course of the year (typically $3-5 cheaper, plus no shipping).

If you are an Amazon Prime member you get 2-day shipping for free, which is much better but not worth the $ for me.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Unfortunately for me, I had my copy of the Xbox 360 Modern Warfare 2 Prestige edition reserved at a GameCrazy that is closing in October.

All the GameStops are sold out of the pre-orders for Prestige Editions in my entire city.  I am now considering my options.  There really isn't any other location I can think of in my city that would be able to guarantee I could get it at midnight or even guarantee that they would have enough Prestige Editions for all who pre-ordered it.  I have Blockbuster and Best Buy as my best bets now, but after calling Best Buy it sounds like they won't have a midnight launch.  I really don't HAVE to get it at midnight, but at the very least I want to be guaranteed that I can get a Prestige Edition on launch day.

So what should I do?  I also have the last resort of Wal-Mart but they rarely have things available at midnight and even when they do, they will probably only have like 1 or 2 copies of the prestige edition....

If I pre-order online via Amazon, would I get it a day early (11/09/09) or the day of at least?  The only thing is I don't want to pay extra just to have it shipped....

What do you guys think?  I really don't want any other version because I'm a videogame item collector whore and really love my CoD (Halo 3 ODST LE, Fable 2 LE, Gears 1 and 2 LE, Halo 3 Legendary Edition, etc.).  Should I try Blockbuster or just hope I can nab one at Walmart?

If you're in the continental US, GameStop.com guarantees street-date delivery if you choose overnight shipping. And if you trade in two games from this http://www.gamestop.com/trade2cod>">list, you get $40 toward MW2.

And of course, preordering from GameStop entitles you to enter Surprize Attack. The contest's only going til Tuesday 11/10, but that's 4 days to get awesome TF-141 gear! I'm working on this promotion, so let me know if you have any questions.

You can enter twice a day at 11:10:09 (Hmmm... those numbers look awful familiar... )

Call me Cheap, but I'm getting the "normal" edition from Amazon because of their $20 GC with purchase, I'm saving on tax, and I'm using free shipping because I don't have to have it on release day.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
