What's the benefit of preordering that game anyway? Are copies gonna be scarce? Is it worth a whooping $60?
No on both.


Well even without those factors, what is the benefit of pre-ordering now unless you are getting a limited edition? Though this is probably more so in the UK where it is best to wait until late and see who is cheapest

I can see it not selling much, perhaps ps3 fans are seing sense, why settle for a second thought about half assed game, it should run smooth online, and not have so many dam problems that need x amount of patches to fix years after release, ps3 owners should have to wait untill after the 360 version has had the DLC


WTH are you talking about?? COD on PS3 is not that bad. I played on both systems, its the same damn thing. Oh the late DLC kinda sucks, but MS paid for that. So what. That stuff is overpriced anyway, I never see PC fans complain. Hell, the WIi only owners are the only ones who should complain, from what i hear the online is a laggy mess and they get no DLC at all.


why are there about 4-5 patches after each game to fix cheating and unfinished developers work? all im saying by it is, its clear which console version is there after thought and who they focus more on, so you can see why pre orders on ps3 has dropped

So your telling me that the 360 version has no patches at all??? Even the Wii version has patches. Hey i got that the 360 version gets more attention, thats the benefit of moneyhatting, but i dont think the PS3 version is that bad. If you were to run both of them side by side i wouldnt be able to tell the difference. Preorders are lower because COD is popular in the US where 360 is more popular than PS3 here, its that simple

I love to pre order my games. At the moment I have around 20 pre orders for the rest of the year. Because I pre order so many and have a big sales history with the store I get a reduction off 10 € a game. If you have a couple of friends who also want to pre order a game just go with your friends to the store and ask for a reduction if they don't want to offer something threat that you all will pre order somewhere else...so far always got a reduction;..

I didnt preorder because I know ill be too busy playing Uncharted 3

Really, the low pre-orders are Activision's own fault. They treat us, PS3 Gamers, like shit. We get the updates later, the DLC later, the shitty version and just because Microsoft puts up more cash. But it's not Microsoft that will make the game sell or be popular! It's the consumer, THE GAMER!

We all deserve the same since we bought the same product and paid the same price.

I always preorder, i like that i can put my spare cash to the game before it comes out.

the low preorders are on pace to be the highest preorders of any ps3 game ever in North America.

Ok Battlefield 3 is looking great but MW3 will shit on it. I am going to get both im not going to sit there and bash call of duty. People who are bashing usually couldn't get into it and they suck at the multiplayer.

there is an almost 100 million software gap between 360 game sales and ps3 ones.

I seriously doubt it all came from 2005-2006 so that only leaves the truth that ps3 gamers dont buy games as much
