The PC version of MW2 will cost as much as their console counterparts: $60 US, $70 CAD, £54.99 GBP
Goddamn you Activision...stop skull fucking the consumer for God's sake. This game will be pirated the shit out of.
Honestly, what the fuck!? Yeah sure, its only ten fucking dollars, but why raise the PC Version price...it can't be licensing fees a la consoles. Bloody greed probably right guys?

Jesus, I remember paying $50 bucks Canadian for MW1 (40 bucks for you Yanks right?).

I can now expect every other publisher to soon follow suit seeing as Activision just set the precedent for things to come.

Oh and PC won't be getting the Prestige Edition either for those who wanted it.

I've actually noticed an increase in a lot of games. PC games here are $100, I'm not sure what console games are. Anyway I noticed that Prototype was $110, as was another title, I can't remember which.

I think Activision may be trying to find out exactly how much they can fuck PC gamers without loosing money. Many developers seem to be trying similar strategy.

I guess all those pirates fucked us all over, developers are leaving the PC market for safer waters.  Good Job.

Personally I don't really care. I just won't buy the game as soon as it comes out, plain and simple.

Activision claims that the price hike is due to the general weakening of the dollar...

Personally, games have been fixed at $50 since the 90's, so maybe it is time to raise the base price, inflation does take it's toll on everything.  I still won't be happy about it though

Well then why wouldnt they hike the console's price? (yes, $70 for a game would be obscene, but hey)

Generally they hiked all Console game prices here in Canada.

For example I bought both Killzone 2 and COD:WAW for 59.99 CAD back in Febuary for my PS3. Walking past the game shelves at Wal-Mart, both games now sit at the 69.99 CAD price point.

Most PC games havent recieved a price hike here...except for the Activision ones (they went up 10 bucks). Suprisingly even EA hasn't raised prices.

I probably won't buy it for a couple of months, or do what I did to other games, say I would buy it when it comes out, never happened, say to myself i'll wait a couple of months, never happens, I just end up not buying it.
Games are overrated, its all about sex drugs and rock n roll

Lawl I wanted prestige edition when I saw it but now that I think about it... shit. You'd be a fanboy to get that.

Hardened edition ftw

But fuck paying full price for that. Even on ebay it'll still end up being $90

Activision has slowly been becoming Microsoft's bitch. First they discussed not supporting the PS3 anymore in a year or so, now this? Come on.

I honestly can't imagine paying over $100 a game if it was only the game and nothing else.

Special editions, collector's editions, etc...fine. But the game alone? No way.

PC games raised to $60 for a game. thats nothing new courtesy of Pirated software. franky i rather see PC games go up by $20.00 and console games go down by $20.00 makes more legit sense. makes no sense for me paying $60 ish dollars for an Xbox 360 game with the exception of limited and prestige editions of any game release. Activision or any gaming company raising the price of their games due to pirated software, i mean there just covering their ass. no one in the gaming design business likes to loose money. and game designers are loosing a SHIT load of money in console games because EB games or gamestop allows you to trade in your games. i used to have 25 xbox 360 games now its down to six. you think about what i said....

Meh who cares, you'll be able to find pre-owned/resale games at half the price a few weeks after release.
