Despite numerous statements earlier last week from both HMV and GAME, who were both adamant that they would not break the UK street date for the release of Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, it seems that these claims were all hot-air…
Many UK collector’s and gamers who pre-ordered the Prestige Edition from HMV.com, or Veteran Edition from GAME.com, were pleased to receive their delivery of these games sometime on Monday the 9th of November, a whole day before the game was due to be released, and many hours before various stores planned to open in the middle of the night for a midnight launch!
Keen Call Of Duty fans and gamers alike, who pre-ordered these editions months in advance, were pleased to boast on various online forums and gaming news blogs (Like EuroGamer.net and Kotaku) that they had indeed received their games early, and as a result were enjoying a significant ‘day-one edge’ – Whilst other gamers looking to get their copies early would have to queue up outside their local HMV or GAME stores to be able to purchase either the standard or Hardened editions of the game!
For those not wanting to brave the elements and travel into their nearest town for a crowded launch, many 24-hour Tesco Extra stores across the country also put the game out for sale at midnight
