Heres a petitiion going around just in case anybody's a little pissed at Activision for not realising what a recession really is.
http://www.petitiononline.com/…..ition.html
It has all the info on there and im pretty certain we all know what its about anyway.
Personally I signed it because I dont like the fact that Activision said they would stop supporting the PS3 unless they lowered the price, then they raise the price of MW2. I've got nothing against Infinity Ward and i'm looking forward to playing MW2, but i'm not going to support Activision in the slightest, so i'll get this game after it's been traded in.
I'd love to hear other thoughts on this as well!

Well like it said if enough people are angered buy the pricing of this game just don't buy it, then hopefully by the end of the 1st week they would feel the damage that they did to it and immediatley drop the price. This would essentialy work with just about any game or even anything you buy, the economy is all about supply and DEMAND.

I dont really see the point in signing it…. if you dont want to pay the price don't pay the price for the first couple of weeks….. and if an additional 10 bucks is worth a week of play than so be it

A game like MW2 wont come down in price after only a couple of weeks, we've all seen that Activision are a greedy company they wont back lower the price after a week, it'll be after months.
The only way I'm getting this game is when someone trades it in, that way Activision dont get my hard earned cash!!!

Well the price wont drop if in the first week they dont make a little bit more money…… but if they see a price difference by maybe 1/4 or 3/8 of what they expected to make you better believe that they will immediatley drop the price….. and i know that if it takes me 2 months to wait until a resonable price than I will definatley wait… I have plenty other games. (And you should check out Amazon.com because after about 2 week of it being out there are people that will sell the game brnd new for 5 or 10 bucks less than what its retail value is)

Exactly how i feel. im gonna be picking up Uncharted 2, Assassins Creed 2, R&C, and Batman before i get this game.
Im personally more excited for MAG and Bioshock 2 than MW2. But MW2 will still be awesome!

I hate activision. I hate all their music games ever since Rock Band came out and screwed the GH series over. i like CoD and im sure they have some other good games (spiderman 2), but they are incredibly greedy, over-pricing most of their games, and they talk a lot of shit.

What are you complaining about? Price increases? Is this in europe? because i checked here and prices of games have increased from 59.99 to 69.99 here Canada over the last month. As far as I know the price for CODMW2 will be 69.99 CAD (www.amazon.ca) and 59.99 USD (www.amazon.com)
Are you complaing about the prestige edition? Do you know it comes with freakin night vision goggles? If you don't like it, buy the regular one. GEESH!
If you can not afford something. DON'T BUY IT.
A company has the right to raise the price as high as they want. It is good business to find the right price point so that you can maximize profits. The sales of their games are directly dependant on the number of systems that Sony sells. They want more systems out there so they have the potential to sell more games. Everyone has complained about the pricing of the PS3. Why spend time developing a game for a system that a small percentage of people own?
These guys have put together a collecters edition for those who want something a little more unique.
CODMW was a great game. Why shouldn't they try to make more money off the next game?
If you want to petition about something why don't you complain to the folks that made GI Joe the game and expect 69.99 for it!

I agree with thickbrow because Activision has the right to charge whatever they want now if people buy it for that price than Activision’s reason would be well supported by the amount of money they racked in

I dont know how much MW2 has increased in the states but over in the UK, the rrp has increased by £15! Thats quite a bit!
It's also the fact that Activision is being incredibly greedy. Of course it's within their rights to raise the prices of computer games, but with a game that they expect to sell over 10 million copies, I think thats a little extreme!
And if we look at it from parents views for Christmas. Some kids get a few games for Christmas but I'm sure parents will be a tad reluctant to spend more money on top of MW2, so game sales of other IP's wil go down (this would explain the mass exodus of games to 2010 though!)
Another look at this is pure hypocrisy on Activisions part. They said to sony to lower the price of the PS3, but some of their collectors editions already cost about the same price as a Wii or Eggbox or bout half the price of a PS3. So it's very hypocritical of them to start raising the prices of their games so they can milk the public for all their worth!
The thing is, I cant wait for MW2, Infinity Ward are a great company and have made a steller game, and it sucks that quite a few people are going to pirate the game and get it used to spite Activision. Even though in all likelyhood the petition wont work, hopefully it will give Activision an eye opener as to what their consumers are thinking instead of their shoddy attempts at market research!
Also, I dont like the way they handled the Brutal Legend case. The dropped the project, then told the developers that they owed them development time. Thats like firing somebody, then saying to them you want some of the money you earned from them back!
Apologies for the essay though!

Yea, I'm not sure where this petition is coming from either. I just checked the gamestop website where I have my reserve and it says $59.99 USD, which is what every other ps3 full retail game has been releasing at since the dawn of ps3. Which is what you'll pay for batman, assassin's creed 2, uncharted 2, bioshock 2, MAG, and pretty much any other game you're looking forward to. Can't afford it? Rent it. Deal with it.
If you do want a cheaper game though, check out Mini Ninjas, it looks like it might be pretty fun, and for some reason is priced at $49.99 USD. Yay,,, just like back when I owned a ps2.
