Modern Warfare 2 is off my purchase list

[oliveira8]

Meh...in Portugal PS3 games cost 74 Euros and thats pver 100 USD so...

 

[Lowbreed]

In Switzerland we pay 80-90 CHF which is around about the same in $ (well I'm not sure of its current standing)
So hush

 

[Merteg]

90 bucks for a game, thats overpriced or the game has to be ridiculously good which I doubt. God damn Activision starting to act like EA, but in a different directsion.

I believe the price change is only in the U.K.

 

[Agrael]

Well, I live in Estonia, and I think I am the only one here.

Basically, PC games that get released cost about 750 Krones (that would be c.a. 75 USD or about 45 Euros).

And to be honest - it ain't much.

 

[Stormz]

Haha that's funny. Guess I won't buy it after all. Oh well.

 

[jj90]

dude u need to learn to shop around, like fact (ive just looked) it £44 at game and a few other places. why not preorder it now so if the price does go up you wont pay more for it????? and if you think £44 is too much then you just tight, as most games these days are between £40-£50 with the average being £45.

 

[The_Deleted]

It's perfectly simple. Vote with your wallet. Trouble is COD:MW was so successful and Activision are turning into such money grabbing bastards that they feel vindicated in charging more. " Hey, your really enjoying our game...So you'll pay more for it."

No die from me I'm afraid.

 

[BoxCutter]

Im not going to lie im still going to buy the damn thing, but i'll raise hell about it on the forums.

That'll show em...

 

[Agrael]

Oh come on, does it hurt to raise the price of the game ? Think how much effort goes into a game - have you ever bought an expensive game that was bad ? I can't think of any.

 

[Horned Rat]

Down here in Kiwi country we regularly pay roughly $120 for a new release, console or no. If you're lucky, and the local mass merchant shop (The Warehouse) actually has it in stock, then it's $100.

Use an exchange rate from the Pound-NZ Dollar.. you'll be surprised how much we get gouged.

 

[scnj]

£55 is the RRP, so the actual price will be around £45, since £50 is the current RRP. That said, I refuse to pay over £40 for a game, so I'll wait until the January sales.

 

[ElephantGuts]

That sucks. I wouldn't buy the game at that price. Well, I'd say I wouldn't, but I'd probably eventually give in and buy it. But just because I'm sure it'll be a great game. Right...?

 

[SquirrelPants]

Wow. Just wow.
You would think that game companies would think about people before releasing things, because without us, where would the gaming companies go?

That game has a huge fanbase and Infinity Ward/Activision is undoubtedly going to make a shit-ton of money off the game no matter how much they charge for it.

 

[Agrael]

Does it matter how much money they make ?
Atleast Activision doesn't (pardon my french) fuck up their games like EA does.

EA Games - Ruins everything!

 

[Olikunmissile]

OH FUCK THEM.

Ahem. That's just not fair! I have always brought games, I don't download them and I'm getting punished for it? Well bollocks I say. Well they've just lost a customer. It really is no wonder Internet piracy is on the rise with retards like that at the helm. It's enough to push me to torrenting games.

 

[Agrael]

OH FUCK THEM.

Ahem. That's just not fair! I have always brought games, I don't download them and I'm getting punished for it? Well bollocks I say. Well they've just lost a customer. Internet piracy here I come.

Weakling.

 

[sln333]

I don't see how they can do that. I'm sure many people pre-ordered it and it would be rude to tell pre-orderers that they'll have to pay more. I pre-ordered it in the U.S. and as far as I know it still costs $60.

 

[Olikunmissile]

OH FUCK THEM.

Ahem. That's just not fair! I have always brought games, I don't download them and I'm getting punished for it? Well bollocks I say. Well they've just lost a customer. Internet piracy here I come.

Weakling.

Trolling much?

These companies wonder why used games and piracy are thriving?

ah yes used games, I may well buy this game soon after release...
