Hyped titles with good prices. I'm confused why MW2 is priced higher than the standard $49.99 we're all use to though.

MW2 is retail of $60 for PC.

Theres a way of getting it for $40 @ wal-mart if you dont feel like paying $60 everywhere else.

I know, that's the problem. :bang head


Looks like Walmart has it for $49 and includes a $10 online only gift card.

How so?

Buy the game, and call in to ask how you can apply the gift card to the game you just bought. And they'll tell you the only way to do it is if you cancel the game and buy it again using the gift card they gave you which makes the game $40. If you consider another $10 gift card as money since you can buy pretty much anything with it, then the game actually comes out to be $30.

note - this is what the wal-mart.com customer service told me to do, so it is not a way to scam the system or anything.

Maybe I'll give it a try. And throw in Bing cashback on #2.

Its not canceled. I did that when I ordered.
