    I don't know if I'm going to get Modern Warfare 2. It's probably going to be a good game, no doubt about that, but I've already got myself a few new games here and their(Demon's Souls, Ratchet and Clank, Tekken 6, so forth and so on). I might pick it up sometime way later in the future but most likely....I won't be getting it at all.

    I'll be getting it but it won't be until after January.  I've got too many games to play and finish right now, so I've put the kibosh on my game buying until the new year.  Just in time for Darksiders actually... might get that first.

    Actually it doesn't make sense at all. The reason why console games are more expensive than PC games is because of the license fee developers have to pay to either MS, Sony or Nintendo. The PC does not have any form of licensing, so there's no additional fee; that's why PC games have always been cheaper. This so-called licensing fee is how console makers earn a profit despite selling the hardware at a loss. The developers simply passes the additional cost of this fee of to the consumer.
     
    To sum it up, a single copy of a $50 PC game makes the developer just as much money as a $60 console game. By raising the price, Activision is essentially making more money off of each copy sold for the PC than they are for the console version. The extra 10 dollars is completely unnecessary, and it's just a matter of greed on Activision's (and I believe IW as well) part.
     
    I completely understand that a company is in the bussiness of making money, but there's a point at which that greed takes on despicable levels. In my eyes, Activision is a company that let its greed get to that point. The phrase, "they would sell their own grandmother if they could," aptly applies to that company.

    Except that the license fee is less than $10, microsoft 1st party games still cost $60, and development costs HAVE gone up significantly since games were $50.

    @Kazona: Because I remember there was a figure in GameInformer back in 2006 I think which was part of a whole deal about where your game dollars go. The console license fee was one of a few that had a sliding scale, and I'm pretty sure the fee was equivalent to about a $3 increase per copy in this generation over PS2 and the like. 
     
    Regardless, the $10 increase would be justified on increased development costs alone.

    I won't. In fact, I won't buy it at all. 
     
    Not only am I completely uninterested in it, but it also caused tons of games that I am looking forward to to be delayed. Modern Warfare can burninate in hell for all I care.

    I'm putting it on hold indefinitely. My favorite part of Call of Duty is the campaign and I can't shake the feeling its going to be exceedingly short once again. This may just end up being a rental for me.

    @Hannibal: Then why hasn't it happened sooner? These increased development costs have been around for a while, yet Activision is the only one that's raising the price. Perhaps if all they did was raise the price, I would buy that excuse, but raising the price and removing features, those two just don't mix right in my eyes.
     
    The only reason Activision has done these things is because they are the biggest player in the industry and they know they can get away with it. It has nothing to do with development costs, and everything with greed.
     
    Edit: Regardless, if I buy the game, I'll be buying it used so I can be sure that Activision doesn't seem a dime of my hard-earned money.

    I will not get it right away.  I'm not sure which platform I will get it for, PC or 360.  I've always played CoD on PC, but my friends always get the 360 version.  Although I do have a copy of CoD2 on both.  I don't like CoD multiplayer.  CoD4 did have an amazing single player which really appealed to me except for the fucking infinite enemies.

    @Kazona: I'm guessing they're doing it now because they know MW2 is easily the strongest title this holiday, and this may very well be the last time a single title dominates a holiday release schedule for the rest of this generation.
     
    It had to happen eventually, with the devalued US currency and increased production cost, IMO.

    No way. 5 hour uber-scripted campaign + P2P multiplayer + No Mods + $60 = Me being completly uninterested. There are tons of more interesting games coming out through the end of the year and into next year anyway.

    I totally forgot this was releasing so soon.  I was listening to the Joystiq Podcast when they mentioned during the MW2 conversation that it was releasing the 10th of November and I suddenly freaked out.  I've not been following this game all that much because I want the experience to be fresh, but man, I even forgot to place a freakin' pre-order!  I'll probably have to place one at Blockbuster or something during the week to make sure I get it day one!

    I probably wont bother.  If later down the line I'm craving a good fps single player experience I will get it when its cheaper.  Otherwise I have way to many games to play already and DOA isnt even out yet, Not to mention the way the first quarter of 2010 is turning into.  Not being a big FPS fan this game is gonna be put to the side for a while.

    Not going to get it, PC gamer here and I think Activision and IW are screwing a lot of people over their standing on what the MP shoud be. So yeah, if they dont want to develop for the PC thats fine, but please dont treat customers as idiots.

    I didn't see Modern Warfare 2 there. I was at the Eurogamer Expo in London, if that was some poor attempt at trolling me.  Star Trek Online and the new Super Mario was there though, they were pretty neat. "

    @CitizenKane: Yeah, maybe they still are taking pre-orders, but Blockbuster is closer to me so that's why I ended up pre-ordering it there.  Plus, apparently they're receiving the game the 9th.

    I have been very excited about this game but the more I see from it, the less interested I am. Whether it be the PC debacle, FAGS video or recent terrorist airport scene leak, but Infinity Ward seems to be trying to work hard to unsell me on their game.
     
    So, really, I am unsure whether or not I will buy it launch day or not.

    I dunno.  I think I'll try my luck at just going to Best Buy or something first thing in the morning.  IF however, there is a midnight launch, I just might have to participate.

    Well if Console players somehow have fun, I should be able to have fun too.  And I'll be playing with my friends mainly so I'll be getting it on Steam.

    ill probably get it along with assasins 2 on the 20th to save on shipping, Im playing brutal legend atm, and have uncharted 2, ratchet and dragons age coming in the next few days, so im sure at least one of them will hold me off (hell, dragons age would technically hold me off for months to be fair)...
     
    ...at the same time it will be annoying hearing people talk about it (the single at least, I dont plan on playing multi). in fact, because I dont play multi, theres really no rush to start playing it day 1

    I'm not.  All my friends who are going to be playing this game will have it for 360.  And since my 360's dead and I probably won't get a new one until Christmastime, no CoD for me.  I don't care all that much, though - not buying it meant I got to buy Uncharted 2 instead. :)

    Yeah, you keep being idealogical like an idiot and miss out on what will probably be an amazing game while I'm busy fragging nublets. 
     
    I'll be taking my copy home right after I finish working the midnight.
