Not sure if this has been posted already, however I think it's worth mentioning to all you PC cod heads out there like myself. :)

Just a little message for everyone who hasn't ordered Black Ops, or who plan to buy from a physical store, there is a pretty decent sale going on at http://www.direct2drive.com/ . They are selling Black Ops for US$59.95, which in AUS dollars is around the same due to the current above parity exchange rates. But supposedly the systems glitched, and by entering the 25% off coupon code 'bigsavings' it offers you a further 25% off, so you'll be paying close to $45; even though the advertisement for the code says 'Not available for pre-orders'. To purchase you'll need an account for the site, and obviously a PayPal or Credit Card.

I've already purchased on the site this morning, and it allows you to download the actual files from the site before the release date, so when you recieve the Steam activation code you can play straight away. Pretty snazzy in my opinion, do enjoy people, it was the cheapest I could find it (especially for here in Australia). 8)

I'd buy it, but I can't afford two copies (no LAN), so I think I'll wait for any cheaper alternative.

Good luck this is probably the cheapest you are going to see the game for a while.

No. modern Warfare 2 is STILL $60, I doubt there will be any 50% off sales on it for a while, it sells to well

I'm a bit confused. I'm downloading right now from D2D, so your saying I'll get a steam code so I'm running the game off Steam right?

This was exactly my mindset when i discovered the deal. And here in Australia, Black Ops wont be budging from around the hundred dollar price point for around a year - far worse than a 'mere' $60.

Nope, you just got to know where to look. I got MW2 for $20 a week after its release.

Pfft, in Australia, its like $90, and you're saying $90 is too much for two copies.
