54.99GBP Modern Warfare 2

[QUOTE="danish-death"]

In Denmark its not unusual to find games at £63-64 in the stores, the dualshock 3 controller costs the same.

What annoys me the most about CoD MW2 is the fact that we can expect a 6 hour campaign, a small upgrade in the graphic department and the same multiplayer all over again, and yet they are raising the price.

I really wonder how long this can go on.

Maybe we could create a thread listing the alternatives to activision titles?
I have to eat now though, might look into it later, or maybe one of You would like to.

Why no announcement for America? Will the price remain the same here?

wow seriously activision has to be the most greedy company EVER. £55? are they gone mad? i wouldnt pay that much for hardened edition let alone flippin normal

Activision.. taking popular Ips running them into the ground and jacking up the price :lol:

i was thinkingof skiping this one. now ive made up my mind. 55 no way

The rest of the EU should buy its games in the UK. They are way cheaper here, we're part of the EU and we're close by. :P

I already do :D 25£ versus 50€ for games? I'll take the 25£.

I do to :D.I get most of my games from Play.com and Amazon.co.uk and I've saved alot money that way.

We danes have been screwed over for quite a while now. That does not mean you should not complain.

We should too but we're used to it..........

I'm "only" going to get Brutal Legend, Borderlands, Bioshock 2, Dragon, possibly Splinter Cell and I don't see how I should even have time for or care about MW2.

Probably.....it opnly ever seems like the Eu getting the rougth edge of the deal despite selling more consoles than the US usually by the time a generation is up.

And I don't see how they cite shipping costs as an expense, Activision has a disc printing factory in the UK for games being released in the Eu. It would be even worse if Ubisoft announced a similar increase in price considering there French.

55 QUID!? **** off...

I would be surprised if they raised it to more than 59.99 in the states..

So thats like €75- €80? I guess i won't be buying this game then

Recession people! £40 is still way to expensive IMO, new DVD movies only cast around £15, usually lower and Blu-Ray movies are only £15-£25 You could buy the 3 top selling Blu-ray movies at play.com for that price, and one of those is the Band of Brothers Box set!!! (Man I'm buying that actually, good find). This is just stupid, £40 was stupid IMO.

Activision "Sony need to lower the PS3 price, it's to high" Activision "Let's charge more for MW2 so we can make even more money" Me "No way am i buying MW2" It's that simple.Stoner-Pimp

Also take a look at ShopTo.net, Zavvi.co.uk, Gameplay.co.uk, and DVD.co.uk. I am not sure if all of them ship throughout the EU but they are certainly worth checking out. What's sad is that even if you pay for delivery to your country, you're still likely to save money on the purchase.

What would the price be in dollars?

Activision has confirmed that the eagerly-awaited Modern Warfare 2 will carry a hefty RRP of £54.99 - and retailers have been warned that other publishers are likely to follow suit.

cant blame them, people will buy it regardless. no matter the price, people will pay anything to play the next installment of CoD, same applies to Halo.

The only difference between CoD4 and CoD:MW2, is the name.

Are you sure that's not for the "Hardened Edition" of the game?

How about the people that are going buy it hold off a day or two. I'd like to see GTA 4 still hold the record for first day sells then give Activision the satisfaction.

I'm not against Activision's games, but how they are exploiting the gamers with DLC cost.

Wow, the equivalent of $60+ for a copy-and-paste game made by the 2003-2006 EA of the current generation...you guys across the pond, PLEASE don't get this. :(

For me COD4 is the best game this generation, while you all protest over a few £ I will be there day one playing the best game of 2009

Have fun.

Guys just boycot them.
Buy it used or rent it or 'arrrrrrrrrr.

KungfuKitten

Unfortunately that would only be a very small amount of people doing this and it will still ultimately sell millions. Just for activison having the balls to charge $60 for the pc version, ill be doing your last option.

Wow.... The funny thing is MW2 isn't even a must have game yet... We don't know about anything that it has that's over the top compared to MW1. It's certain that CoD4 fanboys will be running to buy this game regardless of how much it's over priced. For me, I'll wait or just won't buy it...

What would the price be in dollars?

xscrapzx

I will not try to judge and wait see what they will have to offer, but right now I just see a Call of Duty 5 Mod. I will most likely get it on PC because MW had all the maps and didn't make a map pack like they did for the consoles.

What the hell?? :? That's 90 USD!!

Oh well, welcome to the rest of the Europe I guess... we've had to pay over 90 USD for games for years.

thankfully i've got a huge list of games to play .. i'm so far behind current releases

a few years ago i had the time to keep up, and so would preorder every game and play it on release the way things are now, i can buy newer games for cheaper prices, normally brand new, sometimes pre-owned .. plus, i get to play games after the hype has died down

so i'm happy waiting for this game's price to drop to £20-30 before buying it .. £55 is just too much for me

I'll have a look, Thanks for the links.

This better be the best dam game I've played in the past 10 years for me to shell over that kind of money. I'm 1200% certain that it won't

....thats just.....wow. Good thing i dont buy Activision games but i can see the effect this could have on other Greedy publishers (ubisoft). We wasted so much time blaming companies like Nintendo and Valve that Activision crept up on us and are hurting gaming too much (note i didnt say killing).

Guys, stand up for the gamers and boycott this game this fall. If you REALLY need your CoD fix then buy it used. You'd probably only have to wait a week longer.

To EA: GET IW OUT OF THERE!!!!!

Lol. It's crap like this that makes me love Gamefly even more.

Are Activision taking EA's place as the most hated game dev and publisher now?

Fanrastic idea charge close to half the consoles price(arcade version)for a game.

Well besides MW2 another FPS I was looking forward to was MAG but it looks like its been delayed to 2010 :(

The only game that is worth the £54.99 price tag is Fallout 3 GOTY edition, not a sequel (MW2) that is pretty much the same as the last one.

Why are people complaining? Peoplein the rest of Europehave been paying that price for years.

You're quite welcome. Spread the word. If gamers throughout the rest of the EU start buying games in the UK instead of their own countries, the retailers in the countries affected by this will be forced to utilise more competitive pricing which is a good thing for European gamers.

The new EA....

That's crazy. I'm from the U.S. and I'm pretty sure that if the game is released for anything above $65 for the standard edition nobody would buy it. These clowns are foolish.

Just for the heck of it: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is about €15 cheaper on Amazon.co.uk than on Amazon.de. :lol:

Actually, one of my old favorite retail stores went out of business earlier this year. I felt kinda bad about, since I only found about it 4 months later since I hadn't visited the store. :(

But what can ya do, games are just much cheaper to buy from UK..
