Captain Jack Sparrow here ... All abroad the pirate ship.

Btw, am I the only one who calls MW2 as COD4-2 ?

[watercooled]

No I do it too, as well as COD 6.

the most i'll pay for a 360 game is the £39.99 i have always paid (or less) if they put them up then i'll just wait for the classic or pre owed, £55 is a piss take, good job i don't like this kinda game of the console's, its the cheaper PC version for me

I always buy used games from ebay. Works out cheaper.

It's only EPIC games that I pre-order or buy when it immediately comes out. The ones I considered EPIC were Halo2Vista, KingdomHeartsII , Final Fantasy new ones, upcoming Ace Combat PS3 one...

[SkepticalCat]

Activision has blamed the price hike on spiralling development costs and poor exchange rates.

I think theses are poor excuses they just want more wonga

I just bought a brand new sealed PAL UK copy of PGR4 from ebay for £12.50. Thats my sort of price

Im sure I picked it up for £30 when it was originally released though.

I am still in two minds to get the PC or the 360 version, although watching the E3 2009 MS Conference, the 360 is getting a locked, timed exclusive to the add-on's and maps etc according to the Infinity Ward guy. No mention on time though so how long would you have to wait on the PC to get access to the packs and extra's etc? Anyone know?
