Where To Get MW3 The Cheapest

My personal viewpoint on MW3 hasn’t changed – I won’t be rushing out and joining the Midnight queues – but many will, and it seems that if you’re prepared to shop around or trade something in, you’ll get a bargain.

Of course, plenty of indies have been selling the game since Friday (with one local shop offering the game for, wait for it, £75 if you want it early) but officially the game goes on sale at a minute past midnight tonight, around the UK.

[drop2]Naturally, it’s the supermarkets that are trying the hardest.

Tesco will sell you the game for £25 if you buy some Microsoft Points – the deal works if you spend £16.99 on 2100 Points, £34 on an annual Xbox Live membership or, for PS3 owners, a £25 PlayStation Network card.

Likewise, Morrisons have it for £25 if you spend £4.99 on an Xbox Live Gold card.  Sainsbury’s will sell you the game for £28.99 if you spend £30 on other shopping, but ASDA will flog you Activision’s latest for a flat out £38.97.

The game will be £29.99 in Best Buy, but you’ll need to find a store.

Specialists?  Well, GAME have it for ‘half price’ if you trade in Gears 3, Dead Island, FIFA 12, Batman: Arkham City, Resistance 3, F1 2011, Forza 4, Dark Souls, Ace Combat or X-Men Destiny, and HMV will sell you it for a tenner if you trade in Batman, Battlefield 3 or Goldeneye.

We’re assuming that if you’re buying it online you’re not in a rush, but Amazon’s the cheapest at a shade under £39.

We’ve not been sent a review copy yet – like most other outlets – so we’ll get it up as soon as possible.
