PC Modern Warfare 2 $60? [Updated]

[Aug 18, 2009, 09:45 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Listings for the PC edition of Modern Warfare 2 on sites such as Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop reflect a $59.99 retail price, which is the price of the console versions, and a good $10.00 higher than the typical price of just about every PC game in history (thanks Ant/FiringSquad/BeefJack). Pricing of the console versions of the military shooter sequel has already caused controversy, and now it looks like the PC version may as well. We've contacted Activision for comment on this. Update: Big Download points out Walmart.com currently lists the game for $49.82 that also includes a bonus $10.00 eGift card.

LOL@ anyone suggesting MW2 doesn't deserver a $60 price tag on the pc. MW2, from what we've see so far is one of the few games that does deserve the higher price point. The additions they are making to the game look awesome, I'm ready to give them my money. I'm going console on this game as that is what it's meant to be, a console game. If you prefer it on the PC fine, but don't for a minute try and claim this isn't work $60.

Pull your head out of the ground and look at the competition. Hell just look at the video clips for this game. Selling this for $50 would be just giving $10 to each pc gamer and honestly I see no reason why they would need to do this. You know it's going to be awesome. They know it's going to be awesome. So go ahead and bitch and moan but COD4 kicked so much ass they would probably be safe charging more than $59.99 for it. They might get tons of bad press prior to launch but as long as the game rocks when people play it they can do pretty much whatever they want.

They are the kings of the FPS genre right now. Lets stop pretending they need to cater to anyone at this point.
