Where Can I Buy Call of Duty: Black Ops II

Local stores offer tournaments, play before you buy and midnight sales of the new release for Playstation 3, XBOX 360, Wii U and your PC.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The ESRB has categorized this game as mature, and not suitable for younger players.

You've been watching the commericals on TV, online and at the movies. Tonight, you can see and play the game in person. Call of Duty: Black Ops II goes on sale at many retailers at 12:01 a.m., and several offer a chance to try it out hours before you can buy.

Will this draw gamers away from their smartphones and tablets where they play Angry Birds and other games as apps? Probably not, but this is a big franchise for consoles.
