Does anyone know if the supermarkets are reducing this like they did with fifa 10?

[-Alex-]

Most likely not, they can easily get the £45 RRP, because it is due to be the biggest release this decade!
Edit: They expect to recieve £163 Million in the first 24 hours (So i heard)

Taken from www.gaurdian.co.uk:

Although the recommended retail price for the Xbox and PS3 formats is £54.99, consumers will be able to get their hands on a copy for almost £30 less, and cost cutting by big supermarket chains means that Modern Warfare 2 will be cheaper on the high street than it is online.

Sainsbury's has slashed the price to just £26 across all formats, while Tesco is offering the game for £25 to customers who buy another top 20 title for either console. Those who do not want another game will be charged £39.70.

Both retailers will be offering the game from midnight at some stores. Tesco is selling it at all of its stores which are usually open round the clock, while midnight sales at Sainsbury's will be limited to five shops: those in Dulwich, Haringay, London Colney, Forest Side and Greenwich. Other branches will be selling the game later in the day.

A spokeswoman for Sainsbury's said the retailer expected the game to be its biggest seller of the year, with 120,000 copies expected to be sold in store and a further 2,000 online. She added that the £26 price tag was not a limited offer.

Asda is charging £32 for Xbox and PS3 formats and £32.71 for the PC version. It will have the game available from midnight at more than 300 stores. A spokesman said the retailer was expecting queues, with as many as 1,000 gamers expected to visit its Derby store, but he assured customers there was "lots of stock".

Specialist retailer Game will be opening 342 stores at midnight to hand over precious copies of Modern Warfare 2 to customers who pre-order it before 5.30pm this evening. Gamestation, which is owned by Game, will open 250 outlets.

A spokesman for Game said all of the stores would be decorated and many staff would be dressed up – "our staff are gamers and they are just as excited as our customers". At 11 UK stores there will be additional special events and a raffle where customers would get the an Xbox 360.

"We have had record pre-orders," he added. "If all the predictions are true it's a favourite to be game of the year."

Xbox and PS3 owners will pay £44.99 while PC owners will pay £34.99. In store it is offering the game at half that price to those who trade in one of a list of games. Online it has waived postage and packaging fees for customers who order today.

Gamers who really want to splash out can blow £99 on an exclusive Veteran Package at Game. As well as a special steel box for the game itself, it includes a statue of Captain Soap MacTavish, one of the game's heroes.

Also online, customers who are able to wait for their fix can get free delivery at Play.com whenever they order. It is charging the same as Game – £44.99 for Xbox and PS3 formats and £34.99 for the PC format.

At Amazon, PS3 and Xbox players can pick up the game for £43.99, while PC users pay £34.96. A special Christmas offer means delivery is free on all orders. Pre-orders of the Xbox version have already made Modern Warfare 2 the site's bestselling game, and sales are already 50% higher than they were for last year's hot game, Grand Theft Auto 4
