I am. Since it is already $50, $10 more is not a big deal for me.

Digging for a cheaper copy is not that hard, and if you preorder it on some (if not all) digital stores you also get a previous Splinter Cell...

If I do get it, I would wait till the price goes down. No way Im paying that much for that game.

I could see maaybee paying that much for starcraft 2 but thats a blizzard game. Their games will always be perfect and played for the next 10 years.

I have a feeling this extra 10$ is to finance the horrible drm servers lol, but nah. Since they have no real reason to charge you that extra 10$, except for pure greed, I would suggest a boycott, but I don't have more power than a french fries on a Mcdonald floor to change people, so they can do whatever they want about this. I don't care, the game will be 50% off on steam in june

If you really wanted the game, then you would have pre-ordered it at amazon for 47$.

Way not worth the money for the 7 hours of gameplay. I'll wait till it hits bargain bins.

I really like the multiplayer modes (or at least the missions), and there's a point system that is like a subtle version of what Rainbow Six Vegas 2 has, and if it's the same as the Xbox 360 version, there's ... 4... U Play ... challenge. Things.

But $60 is still wierd for a PC game. I'd wait 'til the price drop, or get it for Xbox if you have one.

From what I've heard, the campaign is only 6-7 hours long. Plus a maybe 8 hour co-op mode along with the UBI DRM it isn't worth it

Rising prices correlate with growing incomes. I think the age of $50 games is going away and that there will be a schism between low priced indie games and high publicity titles.

Its too risky. The SP is very short and easy so you're looking to the MP for length. I don't know how much I would get from that.

Yeah.. Keep thinking like that. Next year we'll have 70$ regular priced game and since "it's only 10$ more" you'll keep supporting it until the regular price of a game goes up to 100$.

The reasoning for Assassin's Creed 2 PC price hike was because it included DLC that was released later.

No reasons given thus far as to why Conviction costs so much....

You don't think if they can get away with this (which they are) that they won't keep pushing it to see how far you will go? You have to say no now so they know they can't pull this BS. They're not raising the prices for anything other than wanting more money, fact. So when it's something else, remember that you supported it for it to get there.

$10 X 10 games = $100 plus tax.

Yea, I'm not going to pay $60 for a dumbdowned game, and is also mostly just a single player game that lasts 7 hours.

This $60 PC trend is really starting to irritate me.

I will not buy a $60 game on the PC, ever. Especially with digital distribution on Steam. Which makes it even more ridiculous.

I will keep thinking that, why sit here and moan over everything like some of you guys. Also, it really is not a big deal, it is called inflation.

my only interest in this game is when its DRM will be rendered useless...just like AC2 and The Settlers 7 are now fully cracked and buried...

as for the high price trend...you cannot stop corporation doing what they want to; if EA and other major players join in, I will just go back to the days when I was young without much money to spend on games. I always bought games long after their initial release and got them cheap. I've never been one buying to hypes.

and I'm sure that only very few games, at MW2 caliber, can keep price high for a longer period of time. most self-proclaimed high profile $60 games will be dropping prices quite soon.

meanwhile, we should still have enough quality indie games to go around...

I'm not buying it but it's because of the DRM, not the price, although $60 for a PC game is not warranted since there is no royalty fee to the platform.

I'm getting it. But if it were another game, especially one I'm not sure would be a nice experience, I won't.
