Loooooooooool! Mw2 pc price hike

[Crzwaco]

A crap now I am going to have to cut a game.

[Lycanthrope]

All this is, is Activision/Blizzard seeing a nice little spot to make billions. They know there are alot of addicts like Mappy out there who will fork out enormous amounts of money for the game. Its a gr8 game and yes the MP is awesome but its not worth R500. No pc game is.

I half-agree.

I can't help but feel as though they're begging for their IP to be pirated at those prices. They're going to lose a lot of money from curious noob buyers which they assume they'll rake in from their fanbase.

In that context it's not only grossly unfair to would-be buyers, but it's a sick joke to their fanbase...

Meeeeeeh.... :/

Unfortunately that's true.

It could Cost R1500 for the standard edition and I would still get it.

Damn Additive games are addictive!


@LycanThrope. It's the same with CODWAW, all the DLC map packs are Free on PC but the 360 and PS3 community had to fork out roughly R60-R80 for every one.

MW gonna be the same, PC users are getting them free, and by the sounds of it we are going to get 5+. SO on average the console users are going to fork out rougly R800-R1000 for the game in total, if not more!

[Lycanthrope]

See, again, if they charge that much for DLC, and the DLC is free on PC, then it's a bargain. Buuuuuut, that price is intimidating

[Mephisto_Helix]

There it goes from my buying schedule ....... disgusting a price like that. People need to start boycotting these prices because the more people they have defending the price, the more it becomes the norm.

Going to be an expensive couple of weeks for me.

Borderlands
ARMAII
Fallout 3 GOTY
Operation Flashpoint2 Dragon Rising
Dirt2
Resident Evil5 (yes I still don't have it but it's on my list)
Left4Dead2
Lego indiana Jones 2
Risen
Modern Warfare 2
Luckily (and unluckily MW2 wise) I am going away to my parents for 2 weeks in December, gives me enough time to plough through most of the above. Risen I will tackle weeknights though.

no man this is crap

im an addict i cant NOT buy this game

But that's rly a bit much

[Crzwaco]

Just a shame take two won't accept my preorder with the price still 350

And for this much they better be supporting this game much more than they did with cod4.Plus hope there is a better clan support system.

[Isengard]

R500 for a PC title??? No thanks, there are other games I can keep myself busy with. It's the principle of the matter. If we all cave on this type of pricing then they will just continue to screw the consumer this way. Just say no.

[mcryan]

Thats quite a bit... damn. PC game price hikes, the reviews and screen shots better impress me otherwise I might not be so quick to buy it.
