\"\"UPDATE: <\/strong>Now that Black Ops has released, head over to our Call of Duty Tracker<\/strong><\/a> to see is available.<\/p>\n

Call of Duty: Black Ops <\/strong>is about to rear its head come November 9th, 2010 <\/strong>the official release date. So, what are your pre-order options from the top retailers out there, and what kind of delivery options are there? Like we recently broke down for Medal of Honor Pre-orders, we will do the same thing for you with COD: Black Ops.<\/p>\n

Amazon Pre-order Deal
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Game Deal: <\/em>At the time of this writing, the pre-order cost for Black Ops is only $54.44<\/strong><\/a>. This is a guaranteed price, so it will not go up from here and if it happens to drop even more over the next 3 weeks, you will get it at the lowest advertised price until the actual released date. For example, if you pre-ordered it already at Amazon for the $59.99 price, then you will be getting it for $54.44 since that is the price today. If you have yet to pre-order and the price goes back up, then you will have to hope the price drops again before the release date.<\/p>\n

Shipping Deal: <\/em>You also have the option to get Release-Date Delivery. Release-Date Delivery costs a mere 99\u00a2! <\/strong>This guarantees you will receive the item on the day the game is released. This 99\u00a2 release-date delivery is also good on the other two game options, Hardened Edition<\/a> <\/strong>and Prestige Edition<\/strong><\/a>… regardless of which version you order, you can get release-date delivery for 99\u00a2.<\/p>\n

Amazon UPDATE 11\/8\/10:<\/strong> The price of the game went up to $59.99. As a result, if you order at this price, and the price drops later today, then you will get the lower price.<\/p>\n

GameStop Pre-order Deal
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Game Deal:<\/em> At GameStop<\/strong> the deal changes slightly from Amazon. GameStop is offering pre-orders of Black Ops for $59.99<\/a>. GameStop is also offering a promotion only those who pre-order Black Ops which will afford them a CHANCE <\/em>at winning some other prizes. When you pre-order from GameStop, you will have a daily opportunity to participate in “Surprize Attack” with quite a few prizes ranging from a Jeep to a free appetizer from T.G.I. Fridays. If this is your thing, then by all means preorder from GameStop.<\/p>\n

Shipping Deal: <\/em>There are no real shipping deals at GameStop when pre-ordering games through them. The deal is, pre-order the game, and select overnight shipping and they guarantee delivery on release-date. Overnight shipping costs $9.99 plus $1.50 more for each $50 over $75.<\/p>\n

Target Pre-order Deal<\/strong><\/p>\n

Game Deal: <\/em>There is no real pre-order deal for Black Ops at Target<\/a><\/strong>, the game costs $59.99.<\/p>\n

Shipping Deal: <\/em>there is also no guarantee of any sort with regards to release-date delivery.<\/p>\n

Walmart Pre-order Deal<\/strong><\/p>\n

Game Deal: <\/em>Walmart <\/strong>is virtually on par with Amazon when it comes to pre-order deals for COD: Black Ops<\/strong>, but with a one exception: The pre-order game cost is currently $59.99 from Walmart<\/a><\/strong>, $5 more than Amazon. The other two editions, Hardened Edition <\/strong>and Prestige Edition <\/strong>are also available at their respective costs of $79.99 and $139.99<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Shipping Deal:<\/em> Like Amazon, Walmart also guarantees release-date delivery<\/strong> and at the bargain price of 97\u00a2<\/strong>. One stipulation is that you must have your order placed 3 days prior <\/strong>to actual release date in order for you to receive this release-date delivery guarantee.<\/p>\n

Walmart UPDATE:<\/strong> Walmart dropped their pre-order price to $53.96<\/a>! Remember, to get release-date shipping you need to order 3 days prior to release-date (Nov. 9th, 2010)<\/p>\n
