[Call of Duty: Black Ops 2] Where to Purchase?

Big Baby Jaysus

I am just wondering is there anywhere here or online to pre order/purchase the presstege edition of black ops, cheers in advance!

krudler

try play.com but with the rc car they may not ship it overseas as its an electronic product, otherwise try Game, most places are already sold out of it though...

I just put down €5 as a deposit. I asked the guy about the price difference between Prestige Edition and regular, he wasn't sure though. He said if I didn't want the Prestige Edition, I could just opt for the regular on the day.

They have it in HMV

Dark Savior

HMV won't let you add it to your shopping basket.When you try it just says "Sorry but this item can only be supplied to a UK biling address"
Game.co.uk will , but they'll charge you £2.95 for shipping to Europe;)

with game do you have to pay straight up or do they take your money when its shipped ?

Dark Savior

You're charged just before the games release.This is what it says on the site.

Note: The price quoted for a preorder title is the anticipated retail selling price at the time of release. Should the price be reduced you will be charged the lower price at the time of your order being dispatched. Should the price increase - you will not pay any more! Money is taken just prior to release.

I tought they did, a lot of people on here got the MW2 prestige one there last year, link to thread

have mine pre ordered from hmv.co.uk to deliver to cork and there was no problem, cost 119.99 pounds and 27 pounds for express shipping which works out to about 165 euro, just a little bit more than gamestop...

Ive seen MW2 prestige edition in HMV for 50euro 2 months ago.

Are you sure that was the Prestige Edition you booked in Xtravision? and not the Hardened? Unless they started taking them in the last few days.

Think the Hardened Edition for me...

Slightly hipocritical of me to debass the RCC and then get the toy one myself

Leopardi

I didn't pre-book the P.E. of MW2, but phoned Gamestop on the day of release to ask about cancellations. At least two were available.

A friend of mine recently pre-booked the P.E. of Black Ops. Now it seems he is more likely to take the Hardened Edition. I imagine others will follow suit.

Nodferatu

anyone know where you can get the Hardened edition?? i dont want prestige, just hardened, but can only find it in amazon.co.uk but its GBP£67 and delivery another 15 or 20, works out very expensive i wanted hardened edition on day release

Just walk into Tesco release day.

i found out today, just go into your local Gamestop, they will have hardened edition why bother get prestige? whats the point in paying a ****load more just to have a remote controlled car? will you really be playing with the car spending hours with it?? ...no didn't think so. you will all be stuck in black ops the moment you come home with the game

true - and what if the game is sh*te!? It will be a bigger waste of money then.

I'm not convinced its going to be all things to all men.. that's what I'm keeping MW2 just in case

possible but i very much doubt it, i have been a fan of cod for a long long time and i actually think treyarch did a better job with waw than infinity ward did with mw2 i hate mw2, just my opinion. plus, all the game magazines that have gone to treyarch's headquarters and written up a preview about their hands on gameplay experience have said nothing but glorious things about it, i been looking forward to this game since it was first rumored. i will be getting it on release day. am buying the hardened edition because it includes 4 bonus coop maps or something and the limited edition medal looks cool too.

Don't get me wrong - I will be buying the hardened edition too; just cannot justify the extra bob for the prestige edition.

I have not played (online) any of the prequels to MW2 and therefore will have to bow to your superior knowledge on them.. here's hoping you're right

thats what im saying i cant justify anyone paying for prestige when the car is obviously gonna be left in a corner. its stupid expensive, however i pre ordered hardened in gamestop other day its gonna be around €79.99 the guy in the shop said,

if you haven't played previous cod's you HAVE to buy modern warfare 1 (COD4). its way better than mw2, and its platinum now so you can pick up for quite cheap. my personal fave is waw im always playing it online and i love nazi zombies, im gonna buy mw1 again as i sold it to get mw2, which i REALLY regret doing. see you online

Sorry if already posted but gamestop are launching their online store 2nite and will have a limited stock of the prestige edition to preorder if people are interested.

On the gamestop.ie website the hardened edition is €82 incl shipping. . .

Anyone know where they can get it for significantly cheaper?

Amazon have it for £65 which works out about 79euro. The items on amazon usually wont be shipped until the day of release so you probably wont get it til Friday.
At the end of October, start of November some retailers might offer it for cheaper. Looking for the hardened edition myself, only for the extra maps.

why not just walk into your local Gamestop and reserve hardened edition or prestige, no paying postage delivery and you get it on launch day, no waiting a week to get it in the post.

Most online retailers have free postage and some send it a couple of days before launch. Like last year I ordered mine online and got it early.

The only thing is last year it was about 10euro cheaper online compared to the shops. This year there is not much of a difference.

I would not pre order it now anyway as some places will be doing special offers closer to its release.

Game.co.uk cancelled my order ,looks like I'll pick up the hardened edition instead.

I know getting the RC Car would be a waste of money, i don't even know where the nightvision goggles i got with MW2 are now! However, i still have to have it!

you'd get crippled on the customs with that though, shipping something that weight and size from the states is pointless

VickBack

I've mine prebooked in xtravision... 5 euro deposit down n 118 euro left to pay... Still don't know whether or not I'm getting the hardened or the prestige one!

Bobby42

student travel card doesn't give any discounts at any of the game shops or anywhere you'd get black ops.

Kersmash

Probably tesco tbh.

Kev_ps3

Harvey Norman were selling MW2 for cheap last year, think around 35euro.

Kylo Ren

Will Tesco have the hardened edition?

easytiger2009

I pre-ordered the hardened edition in xtra-vision yesterday & have just noticed that on the receipt it just says Black Ops II, no mention that its the hardened edition.

Is this normal or did the guy behind the counter make a mistake?

He probably messed up your order, I'd go back in just check

spider_pig

Is it only GameStop that has this as an exclusive for hardened/prestige they have said this on there facebook
I was let down one year by hmv because of this I don't want it happening again this year smyths and xtravision seem to be advertising it
On the official black ops site only GameStop comes up from the drop down menu where as the UK has a number of shops supplying it?

gerrymac1982

hey there lads,

does anyone know of any shops doing the midnight release?

what do you get extra in the hardened this time?

cheers
