You guys saying you wouldnt pay $70 for a game??

How much did you pay for killzone 2? $64 (with tax) + map pack 1 $6 + map pack 2 $6 + map pack 3 $6 = 82

COD5 WAW $64 + 3 map packs @ $9 = $91

The only difference is Infinity Ward is coming up front for their money (that is if they give you all the maps to begin with).. GG is trying to make you feel good about paying the extra money.. WE all know that the maps are made prior to release.... come on now..

Yo, I'm with Dave & Shamarri. They need to bundle GT with the PS3 system. I dont know about the photo & video feature. Cool features. On the developers's subject, I like see to AKI Corporation do some more games. They made the WCW, WWF/WWE, & the first two Def Jam. No other wrestling game has been the same to me. On the DD subject, I still prefer physical media. I still buy CDs, well from the CDman, lol. Matter of fact, Japan has 160 MB per second, now. [url= http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/...-per-home/
William Dafoe, Lmao! Good podcast.

sorry to keep posting comments but I was looking at gamestop and they have the regular price of MW2 at $59.99 http://www.gamestop.com/browse...roupid=550

So maybe it's not affecting the US?

360 isn't holding anyone back

Maybe in multi-platform games, but as far as first party games go? I think not.
And even then, lazy developers should be at fault, not a console.

the 360 is def holding this gen back look at avatar new news you need xboxs that have came out 2 yrs later.what no one can touch you in killzone my screen name is keysy420 hit me up we can get it in.im getting map pack right now, "finna start pissin on people like r kelly" lol, 2 weeks before x-mas gt 2 mill in a week.there is no way the game will be bundled right away. Their is no way ill ever pay 70 bucks for a game this gen. i agree with nick i dont see a bundle because if you buy the game you will have to get a ps3 or vice versa. Mod nation is looking amazing,60 bucks it will be it looks too good, mario kart is one of the greatest racing games ever, this game will do better than little big planet and is a huge sleeper. ill pay 60 for madnation before i pay 70 for call of duty.
im not buying the game but still, this game will sell but people still will. Activision tried to tell sony they needed to drop their console price how cocky is that. lol nick is dumb, what did he think you guys were talking about.
buying a game for 80 bucks is saying screw the rest of gamers. these games will go up in price, dont be a fool, dont buy games that are over priced. i wouldnt buy god of war 3 for 70 bucks. If we dont buy this game at 70 bucks they will drop the price.
so what is game fly cost more, im getting gamefly or blockbuster. games have already went up by 10 bucks i aint paying. what about kids who are saving up for this game.

nick when you run a company you have to keep your customers happy also. this game comes out every year, DO NOT BUY THIS GAME.
Nick are you still playing the first modern warfare. probably no so why would you 70 for call of duty.
halo3 was garbage to me.

i dont get who would like to watch a movie with my friends.
you guys are right m$ is doing a bunch of gimmicks im in it for the games. 360 isn't really pushing out console faster than ps3 and they need to do something, so what ever they can they will do.
norman osbourne lmao

sony will pick up on their old titles now that they have a fan base on new games.
really who gave the ok for lair.
gta4 was a let down just as modern warfare will be. i loved san andreas but gta 4 was a let down.
rental sounds good but what if yo really love a game and its out of print like valkyria chronicles cant find this game no where i would want the game after i played it .then i have paid for a rental and a game.
avatar is 3d and its coming soon.
this is a beta gen look at home its still in beta form. look for home to be sony interface and you access the xmb bar from inside of it.
ninja car racing lol
the new engine is because your right its a spin off but the metal gear engine was built specifcally for the ps3. its def a hack and slash.
yeah i could see a xclusive coming to ps3.

so to say that no game on the 360 is hold back the ps3 goes against what devlopers are saying about the ps3 has more power. the install really dont matter because installs make the game run smoother. cutting back on a game means it changes why is the agent coming on the ps3.

the installs are for load times.

every 360 owner doesnt have a hard drive.
have you not looked at metal gear or killzone they cant run on the 360.

you guys called out my whole gripe with m$ they rip you off.

Ya'll are crazy talking about you would not pay $60 for ModNationRaers. I would be happily to pay 60 for that game and 60 for Rachet & Clank. Do you know how many different levels there will be when the community starts making levels. Are any of ya'll will buy Forza of Gran Turismo when they come out?

I don't get why people say that since a game does not have online, its not worth to pay $60. All these shooters have online but the online does not change that much at all. You do only one thing in online games that people mostly buy and that is shoot someone with a gun for hours. If that ain't the most repetitive gameplay for online then I don't know what is. All I want to say is support a great game with a purchase wheter it has online or not because I will buy Uncharted Drakes Fortune over any of those games with online.
