Remember the anger expressed by gamers when Activision announced that it was going to charge 54.99 for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 back in July? Well forget it – from midnight tonight gamers will be able to pick up the anticipated FPS for a fraction of the RRP.
Sainsbury’s will be leading the charge with an astonishing off-the-shelf price of 26, but there are plenty of outlets who will be fighting for consumer’s money tomorrow. Here’s a roundup of who’s doing what:

* Asda – 32
* Tesco – 37.90 (or 25 when bought with another chart game)
* HMV – 9.99 when either Forza 3, Tekken 6 or Uncharted 2 are traded in
* GAME – 25 off when the first Modern Warfare is traded in
* Blockbuster – 44.99 (or 19.99 when a ‘selected game’ traded in)
