The much anticipated game to come out in the Call of Duty series – Call of Duty: Black Ops – is just one night away, and many shops are preparing for the big rush of people who are desperate to prestige as many times as they can as soon as possible and scream how much they hate tubers. There has already been word of midnight openings in 200 Sainsbury’s stores across the UK, and HMV have announced that they will be offering the game for just £7.99 if you trade in the only just released Medal of Honor game (perhaps playing as a terrorist offended you enough to get rid of it for a more PC FPS game?).
Now HMV has announced that they will also be doing a midnight release tonight at over 70 stores in the UK (full list of the stores in question below). At the HMV at 150 Oxford Street, London they will be going one step further giving away free official strategy guides to the first 200 gamers in the queue, and for the first 500 gamers they will be giving away T-shirts, a goodie-bag with yet unknown contents and a ticket for a draw to win a copy of the Call of Duty: Black Ops Prestige Edition. Make sure you get in there nice and early if you want the treats and have fun playing the new game as soon as humanly possible (not mentioning pirates here).
