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.

Also, pirating is a shoddy response to this. It's like Critical Mass - just pisses everyone off and accomplishes zilch.

Want the game but angry about the price? Buy it when the price drops. They'll notice if purchases rise dramatically when the price falls in line.
Of course, they might perceive this to mean that they should always launch high, get those initial purchases, then drop to a sales price to flood in more, but I doubt it'll be seen that way.
