Most will settle at £44.99 or even down to £39.99 because retailers know they will sell bucket loads and thus buy more, lowering the cost via bulk buying. No retailers will sell MW2 for full RRP.

It's the same reason as the "Square Tax"...why lower the price if people will pay anything for it? Supply and demand.

We were fortunate when shops started selling games for the same price you could buy online. We can do without the prices going back up.

Right now in the US, they're selling a Game of the Year Edition for $50. Games which came out around the same time are already selling at $40 or less. I guess with CoD4 being popular and all, they want to keep selling it at that price to bring in more money. Right now, Modern Warfare 2 is set to come out at $60 USD, which is around the normal price for a game of that caliber/type to be priced at. I hope they don't decide to raise it any higher in the future. It really is surprising that Call of Duty 4 hasn’t gone down in price to the level you suggested.
