Default supermarkets pulling a fast one?

went to buy cod:mw2 in all the major shops where they were on offer
tesco had it for £25
sainsburys had it for £26
etc
they were all sold out
went there today and they've got them in stock


for £39

so was it a cynical ploy to get peole in to the stores to look for the game and then not have it or what?

none on the shelves and the standard "it's been a good seller, we don't know when the next lot will be in" sort of left me feeling no plussed really

in saying that, even places like game, who were flogging it for £45 were sold out

Providing Dojj doesn't want it and ASDA no longer have it for £32 on Wednesday I will have it if your still wanting to get rid.

call of duty mate, modern warfare 2 is all the rage apparently now, it's about soldiers and shooting and stuff, and it's pretty adictive if you are into that sort of thing
