Seems to be contradictory- title says activision desire further price hikes, while Mr Kotick says if it was left to him he'd like to raise prices further. Presumably it's not left to him or he wouldn't say that, therefore activision can't desire further price hikes.

I do feel quite hard done by about the news about price rises - then I realised that for AAA titles on the SNES, I used to not blink twice to spend £69.99 on a game.... (SF2 in case you were wondering)... but i guess we have been spoilt for an awful long time. Mind you, I guess every company wants to increase their bottom line, regardless...
@Kaniel - nice spot... You should be a lawyer
I think they are going the wrong way about it. The more they raise the price the more pressure they will be under to make a bug free game.
I think DLC is the way to go. Fallout 3 are doing it. Dragon Age will be doing it. If their game is good they will get a fan base and people who will want to download their new content.
They're talking about strong pre-order sales, but places like play.com have the pc version at £34.99, so nowhere near the much-higher prices, so I doubt that's a valid argument for increasing prices, as this is pretty much near to normal brand new pc game prices. Even console versions are at £44.99 there, so £10 cheaper.
