And yet sales will probably not be hurting. O well if I ever get another 360 I'll get it on release day and I'd pay whatever amount just because the MP is that good to me.
Modern Warfare 2 is off my purchase list

It seems you're a wise buyer, but not everyone is. Good thing is I watch walkthroughs (all of em) because I just want to be sure that the story mode would not suck. As for the effort that goes into games, I'd rather have a dumbed-down graphics game (retain the fun) so that production of these games wouldn't be a pain in the ass.Agrael said:
You don't buy to many new games do you? Many new games that come out with a full price tag end up being really bad.Agrael said:
Well, don't play LIVE that much, but i do wanna see what happens to our boy Soap, so it's a rental for me.
Was gonna say, we regularly get screwed over in Aus. New release PC games are usually between AU$90-100, which is around US$80. Not to mention the console games, for example, Fallout 3 on PS3 retails for around US$91 at major retail outlets. This is why Steam is so groundbreaking because we can finally get decent prices for new PC games.slipknot4 said:

Is it me, or are games getting more and more expensive? Anyone remember a time where £25 was pushing it?

...and I will curse those people for ever. Damn them for being happy! Damn them all! Come back, don't you see? They're enslaving you all to higher prices!!!Metalchair said:
Here in Sweden a lot of STEAM games are more expensive than buying them retail in stores.Gaming_Purist said:
Even after the $1 = 1? debacle.
While I do understand the relief people feel about STEAM, I personally think it's a piece of ¤!%& when it comes to pricing.
While I can understand the people who are saying that it's not that much money (and I disagree), the problem is that the price increase is unbased. It's like selling chairs at a certain price, and then upping the price by a ton for no apparent reason. It's still the same chair from the same chair industry, but suddenly it costs more. It's a matter of principle.
As for the argument that the cost of making games is increasing, well so is the market. Yeah, games cost more to make than they did 10 years ago, but a LOT more people are buying them as well.
Basically, it's a money grab. I understand companies want to make money, but this is pushing it. And it is inviting piracy...

That is why reviews are for.Kstreitenfeld said:
The last HORRIBLE game I bought (And for my defence - i was drunk and just came from an all-nighter) was Shellshock. Now that game can eat a shit-paddle-over.
But no, if I KNOW and SEE that the game will most likely fullfill my expecations - I shall buy it! But i don't go random gameshopping.
Funny, if the Hardened Edition sells for the same price as the US version... It'll be cheaper than the regular edition in the UK. Why the hell do we have to pay the same price as the CE for a regular game?
Seriously, my world is being turned upside down here. Formerly, EA was the consortium to hate, with their consistently turning out shovelware by the bucket load. Now, in the space of little more than a year they've turned out no fewer than four games that were excellent by my own silly standards, two of which were entirely new IP's (and one of which was actually more than a little bit different). Who's the villain now? Who will I misdirect my rage at the callous indifference of the universe against?Clirck said:
