Why is Black Ops DLC so expensive?

I don't really understand why its 1200MP for new multiplayer maps and a zombie map.I think 800MP would be more reasonable.

Does anyone else agree?

I think its the cost for the DLC for Black Ops is a little high.

Most people will buy it for 1200 msp. Activision makes way more money that way you know. Activision is pure greed.LustForSoul

I agree that it should be 800MSP, but I'd stillbuy it at 1200MSPbecause of Zombies.

The thing I don't understand is that Halo Reach charges 800 points for 3 measly maps, Black Ops charges 1200 for 5 maps (4 multiplayer and one zombie) yet I don't hear nearly as many people complaining about Halo. Sure Black Ops sold more copies so there are more peopel to complain, but the gamer is getting more for your money with the BO maps than with Halo ones. You can really get a lot of mileage out of the zombie maps.

Simply because people will buy it no matter what. It could cost $20 for 3 maps and people would get it because it says CoD on it.

I never complain about Halo DLC because their DLC actually does on sale sometimes. I got all the Reach maps while they where half off. I've never seen Call of Duty DLC in any type of sale. CoD 4 map pack is still the same price, that game is how old?

People buy them. I know I ton of people who bought the first one because it had a new map for that crappy zombie mode. Activision may seem evil, but they know what they're doing.

WELL once the first MW2 dlc released in 24hrs it sold 1m for 1200... THAT was end of the 800 for COD

Halo = 800MSP/3 maps = 267 MSP per map

COD = 1200MSP/5 maps = 240 MSP per map

COD map packs are the better value, plus you can get so much gaming time out of the zombie maps. Most importantly I've heard a lot of users complaining that the Halo Reach DLC maps aren't well incorporated into the other playlists, meaning they never pop up as an option when voting in the lobby. With the COD maps I frequently see the DLC maps in every playlist.

This is what I did...got the Noble pack half off, then purchased the Defiant pack full price, but since I bought it during a special deal for the Rewards members, I got 400 MS points back, so I essentially got them both half off. Not a bad deal :)

Because people are stupid enough to pay that much for it.
