According to reports from insider videogame news site IndustryGamers, the imminent November 10 release of Modern Warfare 2 is causing American retailer GameStop to experience the largest pre-order demand in its history.

GameStop, which operates over 6,200 stores and also owns the EB Games and Micromania brands, said that they received "more pre-orders on this game than all of the games that were sold system-wide globally on the last Call of Duty (World at War) in its first month. This is clearly going to be the biggest entertainment release of our history."

Modern Warfare 2 is released worldwide for Xbox 360, PC, and PlayStation 3 with a multitude of retail options available starting from $59.99 / €59.99 / £54.99. There are also companion versions being made available for Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS.

The hype for modern warfare 2 is mental, the whole gamesphere is jumping up and down waiting for this one come out. The special edition pre-order comes with night vision goggles - how amazing is that! I cant wait for mine to arrive it's going to be so awesome, easily the best of the game of the year. Thou i think that assassin's creed 2 will come in a close second. Ubisoft have made huge amounts of changes and they've had a peristent ad campaign to keep the hype and interest rolling. It's going to be a bumper gaming xmas, i may have to take all my holiday at once so i can get on with the fragging!

All this talk of Modern Warfare 2 and Assassins Creed 2 - its like the invasion of the game sequels.

There are some great debates online about which platform will give the ultimate experience - after the furore about playstation 3 consoles cutting out Modern Warfare 2 for PS3 is trailing behind in the sales compared to xBox 360. Modern Warfare 2 promises intense graphics and a sound track that will get the adrenaline flowing, set the heart racing and send the blood pressure soaring.

Few developers it appears are designing games for women - shoot em, drive em and silly mythical scenes are not what the ladies want. Is it a concession to the ladies that as well as XBox 360 and the much maligned PS3 the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 game is also available on nintendo DS - well bleep bleep whoopy do for the girls.

PS3 is outselling the 360 there millytant. They will sell plenty of copies on the ps3. The ps3 has not been much maligned recently. Although the 360 continues with it's red ring of death problems.
