A number of posters were infracted because of inappropriate language, and for insulting other members. Remember this is a thread made specifically to ask about Mw3 prices, availability and shop opening times ahead of the midnight release. If you take offense with a post please remember to use the report button ()and not engage with the poster on the thread.

Consider this a last warning before bans are handed out.

Edit: Baldy, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you didn't see this warning. The bickering ends now, bans to follow for people engaging in it, if it doesn't.

Have heard nothing from Harvey normans yet.

Was told that Harvey Norman won't be getting the game in till the middle of this month which seems unusual.

Anyone have any idea if the 24hr Tesco's in Limerick will be selling on launch date? And do they do introductory prices like in Dublin?

Is it true that only gamestop got hardened editions of the game??? If so, why do they seem to have **** all copies of it??? Seems so silly to dedicate sale to one agent and for that agent to only have a tightly limited amount per store???

You don't need to enter your code to become a Founder, simply activate a premium membership by November 13th and you'll be a Founder automatically.

Anyone know if there would be a chance of getting a hardened copy in Cork? Won't be able to go in to town till 12ish, if not later.

I'll try ring later to make sure. Don't want to go in at 12 to find it is closed!.

@ner69 I would say either Tesco or HMV for around 45 euro. Nothing confirmed yet but they would be the best bet.
HMV is on Patricks street near the blue Mc Donalds and Tesco is in paul street centre.

Does anyone know if tesco will be selling it tonight?

biko

A thread here says Tesco will have it for 45 maybe.

Galway -> Games.

14murphy

For anyone collecting pre-orders from and shop in Blanchardstown shopping centre. The green entrance (one beside Dunnes) will open from 11. Then you queue to pay for your game and then joi another queue for collectio at 12.

Gamestop are doing something in Square eyes tonight i think, also i was told HMV will be open too. HMV aren't doing a midnight opening, balls

Edit: In Galway city

djskip316i

Stiil hasnt been shipped for me yet , getting impatient now

wheelie_bin

I *think* I pre-ordered MW3 in HMV a while back but I can't remember!

How do I find out?

I realise I sound like a right cabbage.

zero19

Give them a call maybe? They will have your phone number if you did preorder.

Supply of the hardened edition was limited for a number of reasons but bottom line was there was only enough made and allocated to the European and subsequently Irish markets to fulfill about 25% of the demand for it. If more were available to Gamestop they would have sold more. Likewise if any were made available to other retaillers they would have sold them too.

I ordered mine without logging into an account so I can't see my status, but I paid for express too, hoping it would arrive today but nothing has come... It better arrive tomorrow

Because it costs more to buy in than most games - the RRP is actually €69.99

Just noticed the tesco ad below which says they will be stocking it tonight in the majority of stores. No price though.

everlast75

I've the Elite Edition pre-ordered from Gamestop - 100e, 20e deposit paid.

Store in Drogheda opened from 11, collection at 12, hopefully Pizza too :P

Exactly ??

beglee

Looking forward to getting it tomorrow

Starting to think I should have got off me arse n got a Hardened Edition pre-order

Online prices are different to store prices.

Example would be battlefield which was 43 I think and I refunded it as it was delivered late, they gave me credits instead which were worth 50 euro so I assume it's 50 euro to buy in store.

Was the same with Dark Souls.

joshrogan

Just purchased MW3 on Steam because I was going to buy Cod4 anyway for my new pc so I might aswell get MW3+cod4 for 59 euro.

Which HMV? Thats very disappointing considering every new release since the last year or 2 has been €45.

I'm really wondering if i need to get this tonight. I've already a load of games and I'm finding battlefield to be great craic.

with hmv the price on the system before launch is usually the catalogue price, if its cheaper on launch day they'll only know today once the stock is on the system or tomorrow, thats what happened when I was there but that was a few years back. like we'd pre-order a game for someone weeks before release and it'd be priced at say 54.99 but on launch day it would be 44.99, the higher price is what it'll wind up being eventually once its no longer a chart discounted item. if that makes sense.

of course it could just be Activision are pricing it higher as they know they'll sell a mountain of it, didnt they do that with MW2, it was a "premium" title so had a higher price point that regular games.

Hopefully it'll be different in cork although tesco will probably be cheaper

Hello all I ordered MW3 (PC) with gamestop with the express post. decided on the extra post as battfield was late (long weekend:mad:). Anyway it has still not shipped so I checked my account and it said expected ship date 8/11/11 ? so you see my concern have any of you used this in the past thanks

thebigbiffo

for anyone interested i just checked with Tesco (24 hour) in Portlaoise - they'll have it on sale from midnight for €43. This seems to be €7 cheaper than Gamestop. I assume all 24 hour Tesco stores are the same...

Great news. Tesco it is. Now whether to get it tonight or not.

Not sure if this was posted already.

Call of Duty MW3 will be available in the majority of Tesco Stores at 12am Tuesday 8th November in our 24hour Stores. We will be giving away a free copy to the first 5 customers in our 13 Tesco Extras throughout the country, just be one of the lucky first 5 in line to get it free.

The 1st 70 people to buy MW3 in the 13 Tesco Extra Stores will also receive a free Pot Noodle and bottle of Mountain Dew so nothing will distract you from play.

Price details will be released on Tuesday. T&Cs apply

if it's a Tesco Express (a 24 hour Tesco with all the various departments - ie not just food) then yes.
