disgraceful, i hope peopel dont buy it for that price, it will only encourage other companies to increase their prices.

it's expensive as it is.

[Swastika]

disgusting.
ill be buying it from game or something, pre-order defiantly!

I dunno wether to wait until it gets reduced to £30, £45 was bad enough once, not gonna be paying it again for another pile of maneure

[Fez]

They'll still sell it for £40

Lucky I'm not getting it then. I normally spent a bit of my birthday money on the game, and £55 out of that is a huge amount. I'll pass.

RRP £55

Doesn't mean anything if you actually pay attention in stores, the game will likely sell in GAME for £40-45 on release.

Games are just so expensive, obviously I understand the money that goes into developing them, but £55 is just a stupid price. Double that and add a little bit more and you can get a whole new 360 Arcade, it's just madness.
Having said that, I'm sure supermarkets will my go to to get this, I got my friend who works in Sainsburys to reserve me a copy of MW2 so I paid the low price which was like £28? I'll most likely do the same

Tbh if they were to put it at 75£ most cod n3rds would buy it.

In a sense £55 is quite a fair price for the development of alot of games nowadays. However COD doesn't have much of a high development cost so it's not fair, that and they know it will sell at least a good 10 mil, especially considering it's ipad and that crap compatible, probs wii too.
