Modern Warfare 2 is available on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3, and comes in three packages. There’s a Prestige Edition which contains a pair of night vision goggles, an art book, steel casing, a download code for the original Call of Duty on XBLA or PSN depending on the console it’s for, and of course a copy of Modern Warfare 2. Unfortunately, it is not available for PC and has even apparently sold out via pre-orders, so if you haven’t secured your copy by now then you’ve missed out. Next up is the Hardened Edition, which includes everything the Prestige Edition has minus the night vision goggles. Finally, there’s the Standard Edition which is a standalone copy of the game and a manual insert. For those who are curious, the Standard and Hardened Editions both normally cost $119.95 on PS3 and Xbox 360, while the PC standard edition has a RRP of $99.95.
There’s some good news and some bad news concerning the sales going on at the moment. The good news is most retailers are selling the standard edition for around $40 less than the suggested retail price, while the bad news is there are no specials available for the Hardened Edition. Dick Smith comes out on top with its price tag of $77 for the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, while Big W is the second best option with its price of $78. Those wanting to pick up the PC version should head into Kmart and JB Hi-Fi as they are both selling it for a mere $79.
With so many other great games being released this year, you will be forgiven if you don’t quite have enough cash on you at the moment. Never fear though, as there are several trade-in deals on offer. First up, EB Games is offering the Xbox 360/PS3 version for $39.95 and the PC version for $19.95 when you trade-in two selected games. GAME are doing a similar deal, only you have to trade-in one game that’s on their eligible titles list to grab Modern Warfare 2 on 360 or PS3 for $59.95. Finally, JB Hi-Fi is offering the standard edition for FREE on Xbox 360 or PS3 when you trade-in three games – just remember to read their exclusions list (.pdf file) before charging into your local store.
