Late much. Probably would have been far more effective at MW3 launch to have one of these, though I'm pretty sure MS has some deal with Activision.

Godchild10204367d ago

I'm sure this will help push sales for the PS3.

Army_of_Darkness4367d ago

Don't waste your time on a pointless bundle like this Sony!! Way to Late! Do a Freakin' StarHawk Bundle or something that makes more sense!

Vortex3D4367d ago

While it's true that it's too late to bundle COD MW3 with PS3, you need to understand that COD is not published by Sony. For example, Uncharted 3 is published by Sony and it's much cheaper for Sony to include it as the bundle when the game came out. That's why almost every game bundled with PS3 is published by Sony.

Since Activision knows COD MW3 will sell super well, there is no reason to let Sony bundle it with a PS3 for small licensing fee. Only now, as MW3 isn't selling as fast any more, it's time to let Sony bundle it with a PS3 with a small fee to increase MW3 base again. Activision did the same thing with BlackOps with PS3 months after the game has been out.

Punch-o4367d ago

They should have bundled BF3 instead.

Godchild10204367d ago

They did bundle Battlefield with the PS3 around the launch of BF3. It was a 160 but they did do a bundle.

I'll take the PS3, they can keep the rest.
Oh, i'll want the controller too. :-)

Hicken4367d ago

All this time later, huh? I guess Microsoft's timed exclusive contract on bundles finally wore off...

ScubaSteve14367d ago

yet its a black ps3 system no color or any logos on it lame

GraveLord4366d ago

Pretty sure Activison and Microsoft has some contract for custom COD consoles.

anyway Custom console = more money
Would people really pay a premium price for a MW3 custom console this late after launch? I don't think so.

Call of Duty Players Disappointed by $80 B.E.A.S.T. Glove Bundle Deal

Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.

Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash

Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.

Gridknac12d ago

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

X-2311d ago

I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.

Cheech And Chong Are Coming To Call Of Duty Because Everything Must Be Consumed

The famous comedy duo is the latest example of pop culture becoming one big grey blob

Christopher27d ago

Certain to have some sort of reference to their online store for CBD/THC chews, which is advertising heavily online the last month or two.

Sciurus_vulgaris27d ago

The randomness of the multiplayer characters is one of reason I quit playing COD after briefly returning in 2022. We got Space Marines, rappers, tree monsters etc. all in a series called “ Modern Warfare”.

OtterX26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

I think if there was ever a time for a competitor to rise up and take away some of Call of Duty's thunder, the time would be now. A military shooter that takes itself seriously, not sold out to Fortnitism. Easier said than done, I know... but the time is ripe.

I can't stand this stuff either.

Palitera26d ago

There are tons of MP shooters that make no profit, if you're looking for one of those

fsfsxii26d ago

You guys have been saying this shit since 2009. Fortunately, nobody’s bringing down cod anytime soon, if ever.

crazyCoconuts26d ago

I agree. I really didn't like how the silliness takes away the gritty origins. That and all the crazy effects... dunno. I'm still playing it but I'd love for someone to steal their cheese and cater to grittier players

OtterX26d ago

@fsfsxii It's not so much wanting COD itself to die as it is wanting this silliness to die. Like CrazyCoconuts said, it takes from the grittiness. Many OG COD players want a straightup Military shooter experience, not silly costume time at Carnival.

is this what the kids want these days a pair of iconic stoners who were big in the 70s and have kind of held on I enjoyed their movies decades ago but I never recall the movie where cheech infiltrates a enemy base while chong snipes for support guess I must of missed that one

Man I'm getting to old for this

Knightofelemia27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos26d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast26d ago

They charge too much for a game that is kitsch.

MW3 missed its easiest opportunity to give us some of the best Call of Duty maps ever made

From Bootleg to Black Box, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 made a heartbreaking mistake by not remastering the bizarrely forgotten maps from its namesake.
