WOW. Also www.lovefilm.com if you have any sense.

WOW though WOW.

£55 = $90 USD

How much is that in $ ?

Haha, $90!

For fuck sake.

THIS is why Activision are one of the most hated companies.

Holy shit, imagine if all games have this price now

If I had a penny for each time I posted this...

You have to take taxes out from European prices, as they include tax unlike American prices.

55 pounds = $90, before tax = $90 / 1.15 = $78.5

I'm not surprised that British prices are going up, the currency is going down heavily.

What the fawck! That's £15 more than any games I've payed for!!

Lets start a petition stating that we won't buy at that horrendous price :D This is milking the cod to the extreme, the cod games are good but worthy of 137.5% the price of the other top selling game... I think not!

That is outrageous, and here I think the prices of current HD games is too much.

Looking at the last five years the pound has never been so volatile before:

Were you thinking of a longer timeframe?

ok so in EU the price is normal?
