Rumour has it that modern warfare 2 will be sold for 26 quid at Sainsburys. Such a deal can't help me be a little sceptical about the whole thing. However, I just went from not buying MW2 (£45 i've seen around a few places), to being instantly sold on the game.
I'm not sure if any stores are doing midnight events, and I imagine that you'll have to get in quick on tuesday. Anyway, if you don't intend to waste your money on a collecter's edition, then you can the actual game itself for cheaper. I hope people save a bit of money, but still, take this with a grain of salt as you'll only really know on the day whether it is true.

As you can see, there are a few images and quotes from supposed staff confirming this.
EDIT: Forgot to add, this is for the 360/PS3 versions of the game. I'm sure PC users can already find the game for this price.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Game » consists of 22 releases. Released Nov 10, 2009
The sequel to 2007’s wildly successful first-person-shooter Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 continues the story of American and British soldiers fighting Russian ultra-nationalist forces.
£26 @ Sainsburys
Got it for £24 inc. VAT and delivery from Cool Shop, so it's possible they'll have it for around that price. The supermarkets often pull things like this for big launches - if people end up doing their weekly shop whilst they're in there picking up the game then it doesn't matter if they don't make anything on the game sale.
" This is obviously just a mistake... sainsburys probably buy each copy for 26 pounds and then sell it on a full retail price... im sure the prices just got mixed up by accident. "Tesco sold Fifa 10 for £25 at launch, and MW2 is equally big. It's hopeful but not impossible. It may be sainsburys just trying to undercut everyone this time and get a ton of sales.
Its not uncommon for Supermarkets to sell things for stupidly cheap, the latest harry potter novel was £5 the day of release (hardback) in Morrisons. My little brother got Fifa 10 out of a supermarket at £25 in the week of release. I hope its this price as normal instead of just midnight so I can get it as a christmas present for someome.
yes they'll do it for £27 but... wait no not dramatic enough BUTTTTTTT... they will only have a max of 20 copies per store after staff have delved into them so unless you're currently camping in a checkout right now you have no chance... ever thought about going to a shop that offers a reduced price to people who pre-order and accept trade-ins?
oh also by the way apparently tesco will be doing it for £9.99 the catch being you have to buy one of their top 10 games priced at £39.99 the second little catch to the story is they're going to re-organise their top 10 to be utterly appaling games which have been out for 18 months plus and are probably only worth £10-£15... supermarkets always do this with big releases but ultimateley 95% of people usually end up disapointed after they have sold out instantly.

"Yeah my mate got it for that. Damn, if I hadn't sold £36 worth of games today for credit at Gamestation I would be all over this. Assuming this is true that is.
I'm gonna be turning up as early as possible, assuming i can drag myself out of bed.
" Pretty much confirms it, and all the other deals that i've seen. Saves me trouble of posting pictures and whatnot. I'm gonna be turning up as early as possible, assuming i can drag myself out of bed. "
That's great. thanks.
I'm heading down to my local store first thing in the morning, I have a branch 10 minutes away by car.
