Wonder how they're going to make us PC players pay for the maps? Far too much profit there for them to just give it away.

That's a hefty sum of money right there. And only on the 360. But if many people from the UK bought it too (me included) then that's going to get closer to £10million ... as you can't just buy 800. But I like china town so much so I don't mind. I don't know who makes more money from this, Microsoft or Infinity Ward. I hope the latter.
