<strong>PRESS RELEASE: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Sets New Records for Entertainment Industry</strong>

First week sales surpass £67m, breaking industry records

London, United Kingdom 16 November 2009 – Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has continued to set new records within the entertainment industry. According to figures just released by ELSPA/GfK-ChartTrack, impressive first day UK sales of an estimated 1.23 million units (grossing around £48 million) have gone on to reach 1.78 million units (grossing £67.4 million) one week after release – the highest grossing figures of any videogame launch ever, putting it amongst the biggest entertainment events in history.

Michael Rawlinson, Director General, Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA), said, “These figures tell a clear story. The videogames industry is now an established part of the mainstream entertainment mix. Whilst the launch of Modern Warfare 2 has indeed been extraordinary, it is indicative of the growing popularity of videogames. One in three people in the UK now play videogames regularly.”

We are talking importing from UK you stupid retard, read previous posts! freaking sainsburys' online store doesn't post to foreign countries

@ AlKapot,

If you were a little more polite instead of calling members 'retards' in your what... 8th post:rolleyes:, then perhaps other forum members would offer to help you source a UK retailer that ships overseas.

Where in the title does it quote 'Help needed to import cheaper games from the UK?

No it doesn't, it states "Modern Warfare 2 first week sales beat 67 million pounds in UK"

Instead you didn't explain yourself, and then when people reply, you comment with childish replies.

I take it your still a teenager, if not then you certainly act like one.

If you want a UK seller that ships internationally, go 'google it'

(i think that's the politest way of putting what i really think)
