So how big has Modern Warfare 2 (PC, PS3 and Xbox 360) become? Well, you can forget about Grand Theft Auto IV's previous US$ 500 million video games record and Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince's US$ 394 million five days post launch box office record. According to the estimates of Activision, the latest installment of the Call of Duty franchise has so far generated $550 million worldwide in just five days to set an all-time entertainment industry record, shattering all previous first-and five-day entertainment industry box office, book and video game sell-through records.

Pop quiz for all of you who already blazed through Modern Warfare 2's single-player campaign. You know who Ghost is? He's the guy with the badass skull mask, and word is he might be up for a game of his own.

The Russians are angry. Apparently, they did not like how the controversial airport massacre level in Activision's blockbuster game was named the "No Russian" mission. To express their anger, they have ordered the recall of all the console versions of Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360, PS3, and PC) from their store shelves.

We do know that Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360, PS3, and PC) made some record-breaking debut all over the world. But it sure would be even more interesting to know which version of the said title raked in more dough for the franchise. According to Dennis Durkin of Interactive Entertainment Business, the Xbox 360 has sold double than the PS3 thus far.

If Activision's internal estimates are to be believed, then the much-hyped, much-anticipated launch of Modern Warfare 2 for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC was successful as it was planned out to be, selling five million copies on its first day in North America and the UK combined.

In a total "Stick It To The Man" attitude, website Call of Duty Hacks is claiming that the much-hated IWNET system for Modern Warfare 2 (PC, PS3 and Xbox 360) has already been hacked into. A YouTube video showed a ranked PC match, along with the player blatantly using a wide variety of cheats.

Activision is positively raking in the dough in the wake of Modern Warfare 2's release. Biggest entertainment launch of all time? Could be. In the UK alone, the game has already sold more than a million copies in a 24-hour period.

Having a blast playing Modern Warfare 2(PC, PS3 and Xbox 360)? Well it looks like Infinity Ward is already working on the next iteration of the game, if the Onion New Network is to believe.

British MPs are apparently not impressed with Activision's Modern Warfare 2 (PC, PS3 and Xbox 360). Keith Vaz, noted anti-game politician, has made comments about the game to the Daily Mail, saying he is "absolutely shocked" at the game's violence.

While GameStop and Activision are busy with the whole broken street date issue in the United States, Sainsbury's apparently decided that breaking the street date just isn't as fun as breaking the retail price point.
