Stupidly, I didn't preorder the game. I thought this was no big deal, but my friend laughed at me and told me I'd never be able to get it tuesday without a preorder. Is it possible to preorder now, or just walk in and pick it up on tuesday? Or are stores really all sold out already? Are there any stores guaranteed to have it?

I basically just want to know what my best bet of getting it on day one is.

i bet you can find it day one. just call every video game store that day. one of them (if your town is big enough) will have several copies. Even Blockbuster will sell the game. GTA IV was supposed to sell out, but stores had extra copies everywhere and that game got a 10!

Um, I can't say for sure but if you call every game store in your area, you should be able to get a copy. :)

I've already looked into this for a friend & 3 out of 4 local Wal-Marts said they will have plenty available at midnight.

You can still pre-order at Gamestop until November 9th I think. Otherwise you'll probably have to either go to a Midnight release or go to a store really early on the 10th.

Yeah 3 Gamestops all say they won't have any extra, but Wal Mart stores talked like they would have 20 to 30 ready at midnight. I'm not worried about it as I preordered my copy for $48 w/ free shipping & always deliver on Friday. Perfect for me as I gotta work 12, 16, 12, 16.

Go to Fred Meyers! No one goes there to buy games and they always get a few copies in.

Do you live anywhere near a Best Buy, Target, Walmart or other such store? If so, then you'll have no problem finding it. Seriously, pre-ordering is almost never necessary.

i never pre order games lol. didn't pre order halo 3 or gta 4 and u know how big those games are. and got it on the first store went to (walmart) Big games u wont have a problem getting but don't wait all day to go to the store. Most young people will be in school and mostly have their parents or drive there self's to get the game after school. I wont have problem as i be going on my lunch break to best buy. Best buy opens hour before my break i highly doubt they sell out in hour even if they do i just walk extra 5 mins to walmart as you know thats first come first serve. every time i go walmart on opening day on big games they usually have 3-4 boxs by the cashier and each box has at least 100 games. So ya dont wait all day go store early as you can. if you truly want be safe go to walmart or target 24hour store and get it at midnight.

If you live near any game retailer or electronic stores you will find one day 1 for sure. My store has a lot of reservations for it but they sent us 300+ extra copies for walk ins.

codmw2 is going be big and IF knows this before hand they will have enough copies to go around. it not like a game just got suddenly huge just from videos these kind of game i would pre order.

Go somewhere there is stores in small radius of each other. I live in Cincinnati, oh and quite huge city and there's one street has toy's r us, best buy. target 24 hours , two walmarts (super one and a reg.) both 24hours, 3 game-stops(yes three lol one is in mall), a game crazy, eb games and new game store not sure what the name is both in mall. and all that is in about 5 or so miles of each other. if all those places sold out in first day i will laugh.

also stores get games for pre orders then gets extra copies for walk ins those can't be pre ordered
