With gamers eager for next week's release of Call of Duty: Black Ops, the stores have begun to announce eye-catching deals.
HMV appear to have the cheapest offer. Trade in EA's Medal of Honour [1] and get the game for just £8. With Black Ops' official launch price £55, that's a whopping £47 discount.
The deal will only run from 9-15 November.
A lot of buck for your bang?
Reports suggest Game will offer the title for £25 if bought with any other in-store chart game on Xbox 360 or PS3. Customers can also get it for the same price if they trade in Halo: Reach [2], Dead Rising 2 [3], F1 2010 [4] or Fifa 11. [5]
Game will open hundreds of stores at midnight on Monday to begin sales.
Meanwhile, rumours are rife that Sainsbury's and Morrisons will sell the title for a flat-fee of £25 at launch.
Wherever you get it though, shop around and save a bomb because you certainly don't need to pay the full official launch price. Call of Duty: Black Ops is released on 9 November. ®
