Modern Warfare 2’s launch is going to be huge, we already know that, but for all of you diehard fans out there we now know of yet another retailer that will be holding a midnight release; Best Buy.

The midnight launch event is nation wide with more than 500 locations participating and will start on November 9th, the day before the game actually hits store shelves.

To check if you local Best Buy is participating, head here.

It seems that Toys R Us and Amazon.com aren’t the only ones holding a buy 2 get 1 deal as it was recently announced that Best Buy too is hopping on the boat.

As you can see from the above leaflet there is a good amount of games included in the promotion such as Wii Sports Resort, Halo 3: ODST and Prototype. In fact, every new game priced $59.99 or under will qualify for this promotion, go figure!

If you want to get down on this promotion you better do so fast as it runs from October 25th – 31st.

Currently, Best Buy has listed 231 titles that are available through the promotion including forthcoming titles such as BioShock 2 and Final Fantasy XIII.

Peep the full list here.

If the above pictures are anything to go by, Best Buy is gearing up to launch a 80GB PS3 bundle that will include both Killzone 2 and Metal Gear Solid 4.

According to Joystiq, Best Buy employees have confirmed the bundle to be real and that it will feature a $399 price point just like the normal 80GB system. This is quite the enticing deal to those who have yet to purchase a PS3 and are looking to.

Perhaps Sony is looking to push more PS3s out the door to make way for a cheaper model. Or perhaps, the PS3 slim?

Over 100 games are on sale, but if you don’t want to wade through the whole list, here’s a few recommendations. Xbox 360 owners could do a lot worse than C&C: Red Alert 3, Condemned 2, and Devil May Cry 4. On PS3, Pure, Guitar Hero 3, and Soul Calibur 4 are good choices. On the Wii, the selection’s not quite so good, but Samba de Amigo’s a great choice if you like off-beat rhythm games.

Just like the famed sales made by Circuit City some months back, you better get to Best Buy quick if you want to get hold of those games for a steal!

It will sell as a bundle for 1440 Microsoft points ($18), though individual tracks can also be bought for 160 points ($2) a piece.

Additionally, Best Buy is offering three more downloadable tracks – “Brother”, “Alive (live)” and “State of Love & Trust (live)” – in exchange for a purchase of the physical rerelease of “Ten”.

If you don’t want to buy the album on CD, you can always wait for a while to let the tracks appear online as downloadable content. Best Buy did this thing with Disturbed.

If you live in or around Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania you should head to the local BestBuy and check out their launch event for Capcom’s Resident Evil 5.

In leui of the game’s launch, Best Buy employees will be dressed up as zombies, TV screens will show nothing other than static snow, and entire sections of the store will be turned into a haunted house. Sounds cool right?

Kotaku says if BestBuy corporate thinks the launch party goes well we could very well see more and more themed launch parties. Too bad I’m too far away.

It seems Microsoft’s beloved Xbox 360 isn’t the only one getting some love from Best Buy as it was recently made known that they have begun a promotion discouting several games for the Playstation 3 as well.

Quite a bit bigger list than that of the Xbox 360 with Resistance: Fall of Man and MotorStorm marked down to $24.99, while Bioshock, Dangerous Hunts 2009, and Hell’s Highway  get marked to $29.99.

That’s not all though NBA 2K9, Call of Duty: World at War, Shaun White Snowboarding, Midnight Club: Los Angeles, and Tom Clancy’s Endwar are all getting a reduced price of $39.99.

Just like the Xbox 360 promotion there is no telling when this will end so if you plan on getting any of these games you better do it soon.

It’s no surprise the economy isn’t exactly at it’s peak right now, and trust me I’m getting damn sick of hearing how horrible it is too. Best Buy probably doesn’t care if you’re sick of hearing it or not but who cares because they have recently introduced a new reduced price on several Xbox 360 games for a limited time.

The sale includes Halo 3, NBA 2K9, Shaun White Snowboarding, Midnight Club Los Angeles, and Tom Clancy’s EndWar all marked down from $59.99 to $39.99, not a bad deal if you ask me.

While they don’t list when the sale is going to end, chances are it won’t last forever so you better move fast!

The machines include other stuff travelers might find useful: headphones, SD cards, batteries, digital cameras and so on.
