Raising the price of a luxury product by about 20 per cent is never going to be popular with customers. Doing so during a deep recession might appear mad.
Yet Activision seems supremely confident about its decision to lift the suggested retail price of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 by £10. It is not experimenting with a minor untested franchise, but with a game tipped to be one of the year's most successful entertainment products.
It's small wonder that retailers have mixed feelings about the decision: higher prices give them better margins, but if consumers leave Call of Duty on the shelves it'll be a damaging blow to a retail sector already expecting a tough Christmas.
Capcom just released an update for its JRPG Dragon's Dogma 2 including the option to start a new game, some graphics options on consoles, and more. For now, it's available only on PS5 and Steam.
Nice too see its coming out of its beta state perhaps in 8 months time i wont need kernal drm to play a sp game.
Review: Drill, dash and jump your way through Pepper Grinder, fast-paced and tough-as-nails platformer that we loved every moment of.
Omega Crafter isn’t just a survival game, it puts a touch of game programming into your hands.
Don't support the F£$%k's leave it on the shelf, buy it pre-owned when you get the chance. There are loads of great games coming out that can take up our time and are deserving of our cash.
The only way Activision will get away with this is if we let them.
I love Cod4, i was really looking forward to Modern Warefare 2, but i will not support them with my money thats for sure. Its not that i can't afford it ( i have about 10 games i am getting with in oct and nov ) its just a matter of principals !
The hardcore gamers do need to make a stand, the casual folks buy a game or 2 a year most of us likely buy more than one a month. This could become a seriously bad trend.
It is worth a boycott put ur money elsewhere.
Is this world-wide or just Europe? either way that's really scummy.
For a dvd game.
Ps3 exclusives must be the deal of the century... being a bluray and all.
