Yes, 63 euros is what Europeans have to pay for this game, almost 100 dollars for a fucking game. I'm getting quite upset with this situation. The sadest part is that I bought it.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Game » consists of 22 releases. Released Nov 10, 2009
The sequel to 2007’s wildly successful first-person-shooter Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 continues the story of American and British soldiers fighting Russian ultra-nationalist forces.
How would you feel and what would you do if MW2 cost 94.45 dollars?
Being from the UK I'm none to pleased with our price hikes, but personally I'm not going to buy it until some second hand copies become available or there is a price reduction / sale during Xmas time perhaps.
It is quite a bit to spend on one game, especially if you are not too interested in the multiplayer :)
I'd feel raped, but I'd buy it. In the end I simply like CoD4 way too much. I played it from day 1 up until yesterday, and will probably still play the campaign once in a while. Gotta love free market capitalism.

I paid 20 English pounds ($33) for my 360 copy early this morning:

Bought it for £32 on Amazon.co.uk last night. No day one for me, I'll get it Thursday/ Friday, early next week at the latest, but I'm not complaining. The price war over this game between the supermarkets and online retailers was nothing short of hilarious. Mate o' mine got his from Asda for £28.80 because of his staff discount. Moral of the story? Shop around. Like any good haggler knows, the list price is only there as a starting point, no one expects you to actually pay it...
I bought it for 478kr including shipping for the PC version, that is about $ 69.91 and its a lot cheaper then buying it on Steam.
Remember that the dollar is kinda low at the moment. So its not that Europe have high prices, it you that have low prices.

In this example, it would have about the same price, maybe 60 euros." I'd wait for Bad Company 2 instead. "
