54.99GBP Modern Warfare 2

90?!? what are they developing this for super nintendo?! whats going on how on earth can they charge that much

how much is this in us dollars.johnny27

I beleive 80-90

I played COD4 for a year straight. I got more than my moneys worth. I've spent the same money on games that have lasted no more than a few days. I will happily hand over the asking price for Modern Warfare 2 on release day. I find it odd how gamers can moan about the price of this game but will pay through the nose for Virtual console and Xbox live arcade games. And will even pay crazy prices for THEMES.

You really can't complain about nothing as you've all over payed for something at one time or another. And as usual you're all blowing this way out of proportion. Modern warfare 2 will offer fantastic value for money for most people who buy it. How many other games out there will keep people playing for years at a time?. NOT MANY.

WTF are they thinking?
And how much are the ones with the goggles going to go for. I'm considering cancleing my pre-order.

$90 USD for a single ****ing game!? ****... we need to stop Activision, and soon.

Nothing I got worried about.
COD4 still costs that much over here.

Guys activision is not the one to be blaimed because they are selling games near $100 mark here in england. The people to blaim are the st*pid console players that have been paying for DLC all the time and various other stuff that is basicly showing companies like activision how much milkage they can get from people. What did u expect? Console players have been wasting money on a 3 map packs which cost almost nothing to make for the devlopers yet people pay $10-15 dollars for them.

This is simply the next level of milkage and thanks to console players because they have allowed companies to milk them.

Man, ACTIVISION just doesn't STOP!

They sure want to be popular...they want us to LOVE to HATE Them.

SolidTy

i just plain hate them, they're making empty threats and jacking up prices. i swear, on my 18th birthday, they're all dead (see my blog for reference)

This is one of the reasons I never care for DLC. I just want my games to be high quality and packed full if I'm going to pay $60 up front.

I'll pay $60 for God War III (I know the campaign will probably be ~15 hours on normal, but these guys pack a lot into their games like challenges, unlockables, extra difficulties (which can be fun), hours of behind the scene making of material, and a unique experience you'll only find in the god of war series (well potentially, until dante's inferno comes out)

I'll pay $60 for Uncharted 2. We know what's coming and the campaign will be action packed, filled with great characters, interesting plot filled with twists and more. And then we get a heavily beta tested multiplayer from some of the best console developers.

I'll pay $60 FFXIII. I bet that I'll clock over 120 hours easily in this game. The FFX people are making this and I loved FFX. The music is great so far. Gameplay looks clean and action packed.It's an RPG. It will be worth it.

I won't pay $60 or more for Modern Warfare 2.

90 USD?!

Well that's certainly a deal breaker for me.

Didn't they also raise the PC price to $60 USD here? Activision is turning into a monster.

How much is that in USD?Doolz2024

Online Store Deal £44.99 $74
(RRP £54.99 $90)

CE (Metal Case, Booklet)
£69.99 $115

In comparison we pay allot for games and consoles... And we get treated like crap

PC version will be 50 bucks, to bad for console owners.

i don't get the whole buzz about this, even though i'd gladly hate on activision.

55￡ = 63€ atm

it's nothing new, just the usual way the pricing has been this gen, at least here in europe (between 59,99 and 69,99).

my copy of valkyria chronicles was at 69,99€.

you can usually get it cheaper since it's the suggested retail price.

p3anut

Actually it's going to be 60 because Activision is a bunch of ****

If you guys can't afford to buy it then don't. Activision won't care because they know COD is the best franchise on the market at the moment.

It's a rip off but unfortanately everyone is going to buy it and it's just going to encourage more developers/publishers to do the same.

So basically for every two games we buy these days it's costing us £100!

Think about all the lovely games you would like to play and then think about how much money it would or does actually cost you to play them...

Seriously...Think about it...

RRP is always higher than what they sell it for. I haven't seen any shops sell it higher than £45, which is still £5 higher than most new games. I definitely won't buy it for the higher price, I can wait.

By the time they drop the price to match that of normal games, the next COD game will be out. Oh, and every year with every new release...they're just splitting their online fanbase even further. So there's really no point buying more than one COD game (if any at all) - they're all pretty much the same anyway.

whats going on how on earth can they charge that much

VendettaRed07

Well, for starters, their fanbase is stupid. :P

RAGE!

It'll come down if there is enough outrage.

If you guys can't afford to buy it then don't. Activision won't care because they know COD is the best franchise on the market at the moment.

BusterKirk

i wont buy it but i will play it for free, thats what they deserve, i wil enjoy there game without them geting a penny for it the greedy *****

I wonder if the will charge more then the usual 69.89 Euros in Portugal....But with the current situation, I refuse to buy games from them.

It's amazing how EA and Activision switched places...

The Prestige edition is selling for over double that price - 120 pounds!

Also in that link, Activision's CEO is saying that he'd like to raise prices even higher. So...yeah, from now on I'm never buying an Activision game. They'll be the death of the industry.

was on the fence to buy this or not but now i am certainly not buying it well rent it or wait till the price drops and BTW Activision sucks

does anybody know if MW2 has vehicles in the multiplayer?

/pats gaming pc

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

micky4889

this is just gettin redicilous but u guys still have it cheaper then Aus. Here its $120 for the Normal and $200 for the Prestige edition

Why do they need so much money? The development costs shouldn't be that high. They've used the same engine as in CoD 4 and they've probably recycled half the assets as well. It's not like they've been working on it for years from the ground up.

currently there are at least a half dozen good shooters(or more) out there get one of them instead if you want to go all indignant over this

In GAME You can pre order MW2 for £44.99

I would have thought many sites will be doing a pre order like this, and if you ge tin efore they realise thats too cheap, thge retailer MUST sell it to you at that price...

But yeah this sucks, get lost activision nobody likes you.

And infinity ward, fond a new publisher.

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.

ORIGIN

xxThyLordxx

Almost everywhere seems to be selling it for £44.99, which isn't too bad, but the hardened edition is selling for a whopping £69.99!

I was up for buying the hardened one, but after seeing the price, then screw that. I think I'm just gonna rent this game. I doubt I'll be playing it online that much anyway.

If you guys can't afford to buy it then don't. Activision won't care because they know COD is the best franchise on the market at the moment.BusterKirk

What Activision needs to know is whether the game will sell or not. If enough people depict their strong distaste towards the price and don't buy the game, Activision will think twice next time before they talk crap.

Err yeah.. I'm gonna get a used copy of this game. No chance in hell will you catch me paying full price, specially to this greedy company. That is just plain vile greed. Wow. Truely.

No that's like 65 euros...

Seems like not everyone has caught up on how much the £ has fallen against the €. There's a reason some people joke that the UK is like a 3rd world shopping paradise for video games for the rest of the EU.

MW2 is pushing no boundaries so there is no way I'm paying £55 for it! No game should cost that much, game companies make hundreds of millions of profit with games costing £40 and thats how they should stay. Activision are just getting greedy and their games and all that great anyway to warrant such high prices.
