GAME and GameStation have published the full list of stores taking part for midnight launches in the UK for Battlefield 3 this Thursday/Friday. You can probably find the same usual spots on the list on there, so you should be covered either way. Some stores will open up early to consumers take part in any trade-in offers. GAME’s website has recommended, however, to “check with your local branch before going out on the night as they will have the latest information.”

Find GAME’s full list of stores opening here and GameStation’s through this.

GAME Group’s announced this morning that those who pre-order Modern Warfare 3 from either GAME or GameStation will get double XP in their first four hours of multiplayer game time.

The pack will also come with a mini-guide and either a platform specific reward: avatar gear on 360 or a theme for PS3.

Get the game from here or here. MW3′s out November 8 on PS3, 360 and PC.

GameStation has gone live with a new look on it website, and is celebrating by selling Xbox 360s for £99. Whilst clicking on it shows a £178 pricetag – it’s £159 second-hand – it mentions that prices will “change randomly during the day.” GAME has also given its site a new bit of paint, but, unlike GameStation, has no massive deals of the sort. Go buy Deus Ex instead.

Another day, another GTA V spotting or rumor hits, and then is debunked or removed, respectively from the net. Today’s latest comes from a Gamestation listing of pre-orders and release dates spotted by Gamerzines, which was subsequently pulled and replaced with another list with nary a mention of GTA V. Rockstar has yet to confirm the game exists, and retailers have been known to list placeholders in the past for both confirmed and rumored games. Thanks, GameFront.

UK store chain GameStation has gone on the defensive after an in-store marketing campaign was described as “openly sexist” by a female employee.

Admit it. You’ve always wanted a Tekken hat. Fortune smiles on you this morning, then, thanks to the announcement of Tekken 6′s pre-order bonuses for the UK.

For the early fight adopters in the audience, Game has special collector cards (PS3, 360); HMV has t-shirts (PS3, 360); Play.com has lapel pins (PS3, 360); Blockbuster has Tekken baseball caps (only on PS3, apparently; and Gamestation has an indispensable Tekken Calendar (again…).

You cannot say fairer than that. It’s out on October 30.

Play.com’s now listing DJ Hero at £90, a significant climb-down from initial pre-order levels of £108.

HMV’s still punting the game for £100, while GameStation’s got it up for an amazing £110. So has Game.

Still no word at all on the Renegade Edition‘s pricing.
