'Modern Warfare 3' Release Date: Best Buy, Amazon and Walmart Offer Customer Deals

Best Buy and Amazon are offering special deals to those looking to buy “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3” next Tuesday.

Best Buy will give any buyer of the new video game a free HTC smartphone. Buyers will need to purchase a two-year contract plan with the smartphone, however.

The HTC smartphone models include the Evo 4G for Sprint Nextel, the Incredible 2 for Verizon Wireless, and the Inspire 4G for AT&T.

For those ordering the game online, free shipping will come with every order. This latest promotional move by Best Buy is attempting to raise the company's profile with smartphone consumers.

Allister Jones, head of marketing for Best Buy Mobile, noted: "We want to get customers to realize there is a better way, and that better way is Best Buy."

The promotional deal also includes a free case and the Elite app, the game's application that offers more experience points and improved weaponry.

Online Retailer Amazon is also doing a deal for those who wish to buy the video game digitally. The digital-release version of “Modern Warfare 3” will cost $3 less than the on-disc edition.

Buyers of the digital-release version will also receive an Amazon gift card worth $10. The company's website said the gift card will be put toward the purchase of a Turtle Beach gaming headset.

PC owners can pre-load their copy of the game on Friday at noon. The game will install itself, then unlock for play at midnight next Tuesday.

GameStop’s Impulse download service is also offering the game to PC owners, and Valve Software's Steam is offering the digital-release of “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.”

Many other retailers are looking to give customers a good deal on Activision's upcoming title; Walmart is selling the game for $59.96.
