Try paying more for your games than those across the pond in the first place and then have that smug **** Kotick tell you they're jacking up the price by 37.5% of the RRP for more or less all games (£40). In most cases you'll probably end up paying less really, you can find most new games for £35 at least quite easily. But no, Activision just couldn't help but raise the prices, good and honest family businesses like those are having a hard time surviving throughout this economic turmoil!
It probably won't matter to most people on this board, no offence to any Americans, but a lot of the time it can seem as though you're oblivious to other parts of the world, what with NPD being so important etc. But when you're shafted with prices in the first place and then shafted further, you feel the rage. If Activision get away with this crap then say hello to that rage as well, those of you that won't be affected by their price increases (i.e console gaming Americans), if Activision can get away with it then everybody else will more than likely follow suit.
Seriously, CoD is NOT that good, the only people who whole heartedly think it is some kind of messiah amongst shooters are the people who blank reality why they fixate their attention on the screen, anxious to level up some more, get some more +10's, another prestige. When you step away from CoD you quickly realize how it never really was that good, you were just obsessed with leveling up and unlocking new stuff, kind of like in WoW, another Activision product.
You get the point, I hope.
