modern warfare 2 is STILLL being sold for 60$.

greedy bastards at activision.

thats 10$ more than what a new pc game is, and this game is almost 2 years old.

and what makes this situation even worse is that 60$ is to buy a Downloadable game, with no costs other than to pay a small fee to online vendors.

I did some research and on the contrary, Modern Warfare 2 is selling for much less than $60. Amazon currently has it for $28. But nevertheless, modern warfare 2 will be more than a lot of games that even came out in 2010 or early this year because it is a call of duty game.

I went to steam first: price ->59.99 USD.

then i went to check D2D: price-> 59.95 USD

only reason amazon had it for a lower price is because they were haivng a "sale"

Still not worth the price. Everything about Singularity feels like a budget game.

I'm not really interested in buying this game, just here to point out the outrageously overpriced game.

Ah I see, understandable. But I hope that people do their research, because it's really not that hard to find the game for under $60, at all.

Woah, that sucks. I'm not a FPS fan but Crysis (a game that I love despite being a FPS) is far better (and cheaper in price) than MW 2. You can pick Crysis 1 and Warhead off from Ebay at 1 pound each.

Well the game is still selling. And they did a similiar thing with the original Modern Warefare as it rarely got any digital weekend deals and stayed at a moderately high price for awhile.

I liked Singularity a lot to be honest, better than MW2.

I bought it for $20 brand new on eBay. At 20 bucks it was worth it. For $40+, probably not. A very solid game. There were some cool parts. I would have liked to see more of Kathryn in the game.

That's Activision for you.:lol:

I still have no interest in the game, I might be one of the few on this forum who never played it.

There were a few fun moments but it felt like a poor mans Bioshock. Some elements were fun but it got repetitive, even more so than Bioshock. Like I said everything felt like a budget game, graphics, sound effects, presentation. Shouldnt have been a full priced game to begin with.

Most people liked Singularity more to be dishonest. Spec ops alone is worth more to me than Singularity.

I agree. The last parts felt very rushed too.

I think you are forgetting how Gears of War 1 was still 60 dollars all the way up until GoW2's release [spoiler] Then it was dropped to only 40 :P. [/spoiler]
