    I vaguely remember mortal kombat 2 going for around £60 back in the day....

    it will genuinely interesting to see how the price hike affects what is one of the most anticipated games of the year

    Yes, the pound lost tons of value so of course imported products end up costing us more.

    What they forget is that salaries did not increase a single penny for most since lots of companies put a total halt to any and all salary increases due to the economic situation.

    55£ for a Game? no way in hell I'm going to pay that, just hope it will hit the bargain bin soon.

    I was looking forward to this game but at those prices I think I will just have to borrow it from some people online

    Have you been smoking something funny, because there is no chance in hell a PC game expansion can charge £60. £60 for all 3 is more likely once all have been released.

    £25 pound is my limit on pc games, no way i'm paying £55 pounds on a game, don't care how good it is.

    Just seen it at play.com for £29.99, well.......thats not too bad but i would still need to read/watch some reviews first.

    They're not expansion packs - they're being released as three separate games.

    LOOOL, they then ask the world and cry when they say we want pirate copies of the game shut down....this cost of £54.99 is ludacris!

    I mean from 29.99 to 34.99 i would understand but £54.99 come on!! This is only because COD4 was such a HUGE hit and is one if not the best FPS game out there at the moment! YOU ******* money sucking publishers! Give power to the people in my opinion, this is just so unethical.

    Why boost the price of a COD series game, why not other games that are being launched?? ppffft!!

    Greetings!
    These were my first thoughts (although, DXR_13KE, its 50€ and 60€ not £).
    Isnt that the usual?

    As for the price, if it comes with the same content of CoD4, its way too overpriced.
    CoD4 was a very good game but not worth the full 50€ either. Its just too short.

    "Europe has seen cost of goods increase by 30 per cent due to the strengthening of the Euro."

    What goods? it is software! - a DVD costs pennies, we never get a proper game manual these days, and the over the top packaging, well that;s their choice for shelf-presence.

    My assumption is someone has put their hand up and said "why are PC players paying less than console players?"

    I'll tell you why - because we have to constantly patch our games, suffer many crashes, and generally play through a final beta stage.

    I'll turn to the dark side and download thanks. Last game I shelled out for (Empire total war) is currently unplayable due to white screen crashes that are being experienced accross the community.

    lets go to fnac and see the price of the newest games:

    59,99€ for the pc

    69,99€ for the consoles

    that's £50 for the pc and £60 for consoles, according to current exchange rates.

    in dollars: $85 for a pc game and $99 for a console game.

    Stranglehold is still at 69,99€ and it came out 2 years ago....

    I pre-ordered on play for £29.99, if this went up to £49.99 i'd cancel instantly out of principle.

    If the publishers wasn't so greedy, aka taking 60%+ of the profits, they wouldn't need to do this..

    Let me try again: ;)
    The price tag for the Sims and the price tag for the collectors/special editions are the only ones that cost 60€, all other regular games cost 50€.
