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!

Or you could go to the Argos website, order Modern Warfare 2 for your console of choice for 44.99 and type in GAME20 on the promotional code part at the end and get 20% off so the final price comes out at 35.99.

This is UK only and you will be charged once you place your order not on dispatch!

This is my Fuck You to Activision for being Rob Dogs. They seem to think they are the only ones in a financial crisis when nearly everybody in the UK is being effected by it one way or the other. Close to 3 million unemployed now.

Using the financial crisis as an excuse to raise prices and fill their own fucking pockets with gold. Pfft...

 I bet you now, no other publisher will do this.

Heres the link to the order page.

You should be able to enter the promotional code near the end of the order before confirming it. Don't forget you will be charged instantly! Not when they dispatch it in 97 odd days. Argos only ship within the UK to everbody else around the world.

It's a 5 pound increase from the previous version. However, it could be worse, the game isn't even going to be published on Wii.

I will purchase it for £30 no more than that.

Hate to say this but watch when the PS3 and the Xbox360 finally drop price and that price drop isn't applied in England.

It has nothing to do with profiteering from the crisis and a lot to do with the fact that English Pound has lost a lot of its value.......

 

PS : and you're not robbing any money from Activision by ordering at Argos lol. Where do you think Argos get their copies ? All it means is that Argos will make no profit or might even loose cash for every copy they sell that way. For Activision it's all golden :P

 



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

profiteering

nothing more or less.

why didnt the prices of games fall over here when the pound was strong... taking the piss. wankers. rental for me... so thats £50 they lost.

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

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=GBPUSD=X&t=5y

Were you thinking of a longer timeframe?

 


so from July 04 to Jan 07 it was between 1.70 and 1.80, then it strengthened to 2.05... did they reduce prices... no!

now it 1.65 they increase prices?

come on.... this stinks!!

It was 1.45 4 months ago and it's forecasted to go back that way at the beginning of 2010.

Seeing how a gallon of Gas is roughly 10$ in England (granted the english gallons are a little bigger) I wouldn't say game companies are the one doing most of the profiteering......
Or a movie ticket is 8.5 pounds in London ( $14 or so) or a can of coke 0.6 pounds ( $0.90, it's $0.33 in the us if you purchase packs of 12 cans...)


Again you show you know nothing about our economy.... petrol (gas) - 70% of that is tax!  Pack of 12 cokes is about 4.00, nowhere near 60p per can in supermarkets. 

 

Well pack of 12 is 4$ here so exactly same ratio between coke prices and game prices ( actually game price should be 60 pounds to get the same ratio).

That's good news, we all know people will be getting there moneys worth in PSN and XBL modes.

Consoles are already reasonably cheap over here and where did I say I was robbing money from Activision? Please find it for me. Either way, your paying alot less then what Activison are asking for (£54.99) £20 less in fact so it still makes you feel better inside.

And looking at the specualtion, rumors and leaks there will be no console pricedrop. Sony will introduce a new SKU (Slim) and Microsoft will replace the pro with the Elite. Don't know whats happening with a Wii. Already have 2 Xbox 360s and a Playstation 3 and a Wii in my house so the console price drops don't effect me.
