Grocery stores aren't typically known for great video game deals -- we can't remember any notable supermarket game purchases since our local Albertson's cleared out its NES rentals. But Sainsbury supermarkets in the UK have an offer worth noting: the retailer has cut the price of Modern Warfare 2 to just £26 ($43.76), an amazing £29 off the regular price.
Tesco is also offering a big price cut on Modern Warfare 2: it's £25 with the purchase of another bestselling game (The Guardian specifies "top-20" games), or £39.70 on its own. Tescos, which are open all the time anyway, will begin selling the game at midnight tonight, as will five Sainsbury's locations. Unless they're like stores in the US, in which case they began selling them last week.

Hopefully with all the negative press with the PC version, the price on it will drop fairly quickly. I just want to play the campaign.

Call of Duty 4 is still retailing at full price 2 years later. Good luck with that.

I've only got a Tesco nearby, and it's one of the only ones that isn't open 24hrs.

Well for my surprise this morning I was in a queue waiting to pay a sandwich when I hear a mommy making a comment about the games on a small display I looked back and for my surprise the game was 26 quid! What a steal! Long live Sainsbury!
